The UK's BUSIEST Theme Park!? 100 MINUTE Waits - Chessington

Could Chessington World Of Adventures be the UK's BUSIEST theme park... Well I think so! With the average queue time this summer being around 70 minutes for the major rides and at some point in the day surpassing 100 minutes, this family theme park can sure get the queues. In this video I share all of queues times for the major rides at the park, get back on some rides, and see how the World Of Jumanji and Mandrill Mayhem look three months on...

What do you think the future of Vampire looks like!? Removed OR Retracked?!

[@TobysTrains]

PERSONALY I BELEIVE A RETRACK WILL SOON BE IN THE PICTURE FOR IT WITH SOME LAYOUT IMPROVEMENTS

[@izzyyyy4463]

It was lovely meeting you at chesington! Loving the vlogs and vids!

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Hey, thanks so much Izzy! Plenty more on the way and hope you had a great day at Chessington!

[@CoasternautYT]

The lines at Chessington are always crazy, this is why I think mandrill mayhem should’ve had a complete layout, a shuttle coaster has too little throughout at a park this busy

[@aaron.aro31]

great seeing you at chessi! (we were the one waving 😂)

[@TotallyNotPixelatedYT]

I'm new to your channel and your videos are great! You just earned another subscriber 😊

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Thanks so much!!

[@merlinmagicandmore]

During all my visits to theme parks this year Chessington always had the longest queue times!

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

SAME!!

[@hollyhullah]

Great to see u at chessie outside cobra!!

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Hey! You to Holly!

[@danielward4868]

I loved bubbleworks! May be my second favourite ride in the park if it was still there with the music combined with the fountains!

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

It did look epic!

[@ThemingObsessed]

Perfect timing for a chessi video after i've just booked a trip for Friday! :D Edit: I love chessington so much because of the theming and the rides. It's quite sad to see the extortionate queue times so hopefully cwoar are lying about queues to make us worried LOL

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

PERFECT!! It's such a nice park, and all the rides are nicely themed, and the new area is just the perfect edition! Hopefully, the queues aren't as long as what the app says, and have a great time!!

[@josh0108]

I went to Chessington on June 30, and I expected a somewhat empty day, but there were a bunch of schools there! When the rides opened (except for Vampire), Dragon’s Fury opened with a 120 MINUTE WAIT 10 minutes after! However, I was able to get a slot for Mandrill Mayhem quite easily. When Vampire opened a few hours later, it opened to a huge crowd in Wild Woods, and got a 3 HOUR WAIT right of the bat! I never expected it to be THAT busy, but I’ll know now that going around that time may be a bad idea in the future.

[@JoshKerns-gi4bt]

Land of the Tiger ... home to log flume Dragon Falls !? YOU MEAN TIGER ROCK !!! clue is in the name !

[@petermc7098]

Hi There, a great Video, personally I think they'll retrack Vampire as apparently due to the land that Vampire is on they can't get permission to build something on a similar or larger scale due to increased planning restrictions etc. Kind regards Peter

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Ah, I see, Peter! Maybe that's the route Chessington will go down! Will be interesting to see the future of it, especially with all the new investment Chessington has been getting! Thanks so much for your comment!

[@petermc7098]

@@ThemeParkEnthusiast Hello There, definitely and you're welcome, we'll see what happens, exciting times ahead, hopefully Scorpion Express will reopen next season. Cheers Peter :⁠-⁠)

[@thiccbucket3601]

Saw u at pleasure beach on Friday on enso

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Hahaha!! Yes dare to rotate!

[@calamitycoasters2591]

i don't know how controversial this is but for me i rank vampire as the best coaster in the park followed by dragons fury then mandrill mayhem

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Vampire is a classic! For me, though, I just love Mandrill Mayhem and Dragons Fury! The station for Vampire though is so great!

[@TreasureWOMAN]

Is so busy there and just makes it the worst theme park if it wasn't so busy I would of loved it ,

[@rollercoastermad1238]

Am I the only one who preferred the imperial leather bubbleworks than the original 😅

[@Williambroom]

Actually mandrill is unlimited slots I went last week and I did it over an over again. Also they should put virtual queue on every ride I think it would let people go and do other stuff and also no more painful 90 min waits. Also already know what’s going to creepy caves is a thing called enchanted village (Ik like towers) basically a bit like trick or treat town at alton

[@scarpy1105]

i saw u on that day 4.35 is my sister

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

🎉🎉 Hope you had a good day!

[@danielward4868]

I queued 100 minutes for Dragon's Fury because it wasn't avaliable on ride access pass. (Too many fastrackers) #dragon'sfuryisbetterthanspinabll

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Yeah I think it's because of its location as well right at the front of the park! It just has more of a unique layout than spinball with its 2nd lift hill as well! Thanks for watching Daniel!!

[@danielward4868]

@ThemeParkEnthusiast the actual wait time was about 25 minutes, so the park lied to me. This was the same for many other rides I did that day

[@Harryongorillatag]

There must of been a bug in the system because we did it twice when we went for free dunno why it just let us

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Yeah, it was full for the rest of my visit, so I'm not sure! I have ridden it multiple times in one day though before!?
