Chessington World of Adventures History 1987 - 2016

[@mikekaraoke]

I like how you said: Beanoland only lasted 9 years That is a really long time lol

[@StephanieStjames488]

I still get just as excited as my 3 children when we visit Chessington, and i'm 40-something!! Thanks for this bit of nostalgia!!

[@ThemeParkCallum]

I can see why, it is a great park! Thank you for watching!

[@ThemeParkCallum]

Hello Adventurers, a new and improved Chessington History video will be coming in June 2017. This will include updated information, new visuals and different use of park music. Thank you.

Cant Wait

[@twiigggz7484]

Theme Park Callum I'm not begging but it's now may and there has been no update yet or is it just me and I haven't noticed 😅 take your time, I don't mind waiting if you are busy with your life atm 😊

[@ThemeParkCallum]

I'm sorry about the delay on this update. I am currently working on the Alton Towers version at the moment. Once exams are over, I will be doing plenty more history videos!

[@twiigggz7484]

Oh sorry i didn't know you were doing exams! I forgot it was the start of GSCEs and A levels across the UK. Wish u best of luck then XD

[@ThemeParkCallum]

Thank you very much! 😁

[@chloe8554]

Omg, I've been to chessington loads of times in the past two years 16-18 and there's a lot of differences. Hocus Pocus Hall is up for sale and Tiger Rock has opened

[@jntrains4526]

I'm from the furture, bubbleworks closed and rethemed to a boring gruffalo ride, vampire refurbished (again) for 30 years of the ride including updated que line, new theme tune and more. The flying jumbos are going soon but have been painted into a lovely railnbow coulor.

[@amusementfrenzy3179]

I miss safari skyline and bubble works. I think they should add another roller coaster for the thrill seekers like maybe something with a loop. Chessington need some loops.

[@aylaslife3042]

Coaster Frenzy Rameses revenge has loops but that’s nearly open

[@largeslappy]

Yeah, but Rameses isn’t a roller coaster. It’s a flat ride.

[@chloegreaves79]

I haven't been to Chessington in years! And when I saw that safari skyway closed I was like nooooo😪

[@seanbrittain1304]

Exactly the same here 😭

[@seanbrittain1304]

I almost cried

[@ThemeParkCallum]

It was a classic monorail! But it did have major technical problems, hence why they removed it!

[@toy_kaydenroblox5334]

I know right but for safety issues though.

[@theworstyoutuber7905]

Holy shit I remember going on that years ago when I was like really young. I didn't know that closed down. I didn't even know that was in chessington. And the fact that this commentwas made 3 years ago....

[@erinsmith7372]

Goodbye bubbleworks because it is closing for the grufflo river adventure & dragon falls will be re themed to tiger rock maybe

[@njuham]

Fun fact, in the 30's or 40's they walked the elephants to the Epsom Common, and onto the pond when it was frozen over during a cold winter.

[@Leirose7608]

I just realised how long it's been since I went here it must've been about 2013! I had no clue safari skyway closed, that seemed like a classic ;(

[@jasminenewton1466]

So much has happened since 2016. Ramisies revenge close, dragon fools was re themed, the big wheel closed, the land of the tigers opened, bubble works was re-themed to the grufilo, and they are putting in a drop tower. Ps. Sorry for my bad spelling I’m slightly dyslexic

[@lighterlime6857]

[@crashcoaster3852]

I want to see a big roller coaster come to the park, for the thrill seekers. The have some thrilling flat rides, but I want see a big roller coaster, something like a gerstlauer Eurofighter or a GCI woodie would fit the park well. ;)

[@ThemeParkCallum]

It would be great to see, however I don't think it will happen!

[@crashcoaster3852]

A gerstlauer is a looping coaster

[@crashcoaster3852]

Well no one is saying you have to ride it.

[@skeleklo2175]

+MC Hub Chessington World Of Adventures is aimed at children, so I can't really see any of those coming lol, but they do have Dragon's Fury which is kinda for thrillseekers?

[@gymtastickyan4654]

+Cherrymilk yes

[@luv.t3e]

For some reason this made me so emotional 😭 I miss all the rides that have gone and especially the old vampire

[@adctvuk5035]

Oh and at the current time there's been some changes to the park. Bubbleworks is now the gruffalow river ride (Bubbleworks had a fire a few years ago but not why it was changed), the penguin show is now a gruffalow show (can you see where this is going), dragon falls is now tiger rock which has a tiger enclosure attached to it. The Ferris wheel is now at Legoland, you've got 2 parts to the hotel safari hotel and Aztec hotel. There was a panda show there for a short time (don't know if it still is) but a lot of the small kiddy rides are now gruffalow themed rides (gruffalow everything in the shops trust me I deliver it lol) I think that's pretty much it.

[@jaydenbaker5074]

I'm so angry. I think about 2 weeks from now, they're doing something horrible. My first ride ever; BUBBLEWORKS is CLOSING!!! How could they, that's the most iconic thing there, and in my top 3! SO sad they did that...

[@callumedwards2966]

Even two years later that I'm writing this... I feel you. Bubbleworks was MY childhood too.

[@Tobsies124]

It’s not closed just re themed but I prefer bubbleworks

[@thatmoe_ana91]

Okay so I just discovered your vlog tonight because I want to know more about the UK’s parks. I’m American and living in Orlando and I go to the Orlando/Central Florida parks often (all Disney and both seaworld). I think your videos would be a more fun if you added voice to them and if you put some stuff about your personal experiences at these parks if you have any. I know from other vlogs like coaster bot, abandoned, and theme park worldwide, having their voices there just makes it seem more personable and not a lecture. I appreciate you putting the info together and the pics. I love the pics! but I don’t want to have to read the whole time! I’m not staying up till three watching these amazingly interesting theme park videos (yours and others) to read! PLEASE ADD VOCALS.

[@MattWallerSuperFunTime]

This is such an informative video and it really takes me back. I remember the 5th Dimension, that was so cool. Shrinking and going through the plug socket. I'm sad the Runaway mine train got re-themed, the tunnels were the best part!

[@ThemeParkCallum]

Thank you for your kind comment Matt, I love the History of Chessington and I have to agree, the tunnels were amazing!

[@MattWallerSuperFunTime]

Absolutely!! I think I made a mistake in my previous comment though, can't remember if you went through a plug socket or was just a prop. Anyway it was amazing.I'm happy Vampire is still around. I think it was the first coaster I ever went on.

[@ThemeParkCallum]

+Matt Waller I think you might be right, I can't really remember, but I am sure there was something about a plug socket!

[@luq44]

omg, these rides are sooooo old! :O

[@mimiponyy7291]

They shouldn't have closed down Bubbleworks. At least I've been on it once

[@adctvuk5035]

I work there mate and I'm sorry to say that there's no plans for any other rollercoaster being put in they simply have no room and can't get planning permission. At 1 point (not any longer) they were planning on getting rid of vampire and replacing it (because it was becoming VERY temperamental) but they did a lot of update work to it instead of constantly doing patch jobs to it as you mentioned) the reason they didn't was 2 reasons 1) it would cause a lot of upset people (obviously as its a great ride my kids love it) and 2) the new coaster would have to be the EXACT foot print, size and layout of the Vampire (because planning permission to put a new coaster in a different layout and size was already refused) as I said earlier they wanted to get rid of it and put something else there. Anyway hope that's answered your question at the end.

[@doomz3018]

[@unikatie1540]

Oh my god THE SAFARI SKYWAY CLOSED.. RIP, I went in 2014

[@TravellingacrosstheUK9996]

I actually heard that the gruffalo ride opened in I think 2017 or 2018, and the room on a broom tour opened, between 2018 or 2019.

[@happyhurricane5921]

You missed some things. Clown Coaster is missed, the Toy Town roundabout, and in 1987, Toadies's Crazy Cars was called Old Crock's Creek. But very detailed and better than mine. Well played. Also, Rodeo did not close until 2007. It was standing but not operating. Also, in 2007, the Premier Inn hotel was actually called the Safari Hotel, like now. It would be good if you did a modern video of this

[@ajverona]

I am going tommorow. Hopefully glamping will be open because last time it wasn't

[@keelertron]

The problem is they wont ever get a big rollercoaster as the park is on greenbelt land which means that they cannot build above a certain height, and definetly not someething that can be seen from the trees, hence why rattlesnake is sunken into the ground and like rameses revenge is down in a ditch, the only exception was vampire which was built before the regulation came in. Hence why Thorpe Park became the teenage park and cwoa the family friendly one,.

[@ThemeParkCallum]

Very true!

[@Ethan-ey4jx]

Recently, Chessington added an awesome lookin thrill ride and it was the croc drop tower.

[@coolcattigger]

It’s the replacement to rameses revenge

[@Ethan-ey4jx]

@@coolcattigger But it’s still a good ride like the previous one. Merlin made better replacements for Chessington than what they did at Alton Towers like to Air, Ripsaw or Submission.

Ethan Dahlberg time

[@Swagmaster-oq2yw]

What happened next? Tiger rock, a flume ride, opened, and croc drop, a family drop tower, is set to open in 2021. Ramseses revenge is now gone sadly, in my opinion that probably would have produced the biggest thrill (I don't know as I never went on it). Also the black buccaneer is shut and expected to be replaced with the rethemed blue barnacle, but covid has stopped work. Bubble works was changed to the gruffalo river ride adventure, and hocus pocus hall is now room on the broom - a magical journey. They need a new high thrill ride to replace ramseses revenge though. And I think monkey swinger may be adapted or closed in some way - when I went there yesterday it was shut and it is shut today too. I don't know if this is because of covid or something else, but it's currently not operating.

[@BlueTortoise444]

I'd love to see a family mack water coaster in 2017, possibly in the spot of Dragon Falls as its quite unpopular, never gets a queue, not the best log flume anyway, and also it's on a huge plot of land, so it would be a perfect spot for a mack water coaster. If they choose not to then I could see a family launch coaster, like manta at Sea World San Diego or maybe a toned down version of Maverick at Cedar Point.

[@ThemeParkCallum]

You have got a great idea - I would love to see that at Chessington! I really do think they need a new Rollercoaster!

[@Yasin_2312]

If They Are Going To Make A Big Thrilling Roller Coaster Than It Should Be A Wing Coaster!
