As soon as I saw the lack of fountains I knew you would sing that song❤
Maybe you should go back to Chessington later in the year
Saw you both in LEGOLAND and in Chessington 👍 Loving the Vlogs. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it. 😅
Great to see you again at Chessington, you guys have been so lovely every time we have bumped into you. We actually were stuck on the grufalo for half an hour and they had to evacuate us just before the lift hill! 😂
-Brad and Ash (matching striped jumpers 😂)
I went to chessington today and Dragon Fury and Tiger Rock and Gruffalo broke down OMG😂😂
Another good vlog, really enjoyed and always look forward again for more. Agreed with Tomb Blaster, could do with scrapping the guns, targets and maybe an refurbishment. Especially since Curse at Alton Manor as that does look & sound epic 100%. Would love to see an Egyptian themed ghost train type mummy ride created? With massive immersive theming inside the ride with darkness, aswell loads of lighting, action and more? Would be epic. Good to see Land of Jumanji progress especially fences down, more views of land itself involving coaster. Hoping we get large & tall plants hiding land from outside aswell tall plants inside hiding the outside, making it really immersive. Would be epic especially the Sign which appears out of nowhere along with the inversion. Still have issue with the same throughput thoughts, still think a second train is needed along with a second station maybe via transfer tracks? Maybe something they might add in future? Depending on queues, popularity and more? But well see? Think Vampire is 100% going to be get refurbished, its too much a good and favourite coaster at the park to be removed, so think it will be repainted, trains replaced with new and maybe a theme update? Would like to see maybe a preshow on it? Make ride more immersive before entering onboard? Doubt it will happen, but nice video, really enjoyed and look forward to seeing more videos in future. 😀👍
The vampire coaster at chessington has been there since I was born in 1990 the same year I was born too
It's amazing the level of investment merlin seem to be putting in recently. Its crazy. I wonder why. Also was great to meet you briefly on Tuesday
Shame about some of the rides not in service probably. 😕 But overall it's a lovely place to visit.
Can u pls go to famingoland again
Get out of the que! Get out of the que! LOL I howled 😉 Great to see more testing of the new coaster 😉
Great vlog Shawn and Charlotte, love Chessington so much, world of Jumanji will only improve the park! Construction has flied by so fastly!
Looks like Jumanji is coming along like clockwork. Cannot wait for the end result!
Thank you my darlings great vlog as always I think you need some wipers on your glasses Shawn looked very wet thank you again see you on the next one thank you xx
I first went to Chessington as a child when it was just called Chessington zoo it was mostly zoo then with a small fair.
Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from Chessington World Of Adventures for the first day of the 2023 season! In this vlog, we share all of the latest updates from across the park along with getting back on some of our favorite rides. This includes Vampire, Tomb Blaster, Croc Drop, and many more fantastic family attractions. We also share more testing footage from Mandrill Mayhem, the new wing coaster opening in May as part of the World Of Jumanji-themed area! keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte.
I went Friday all the rides had a fault at one time. Not to mention the rain was pouring
We visited chessington on the opening day, really disappointed that hardly anything was open, like you say no transparency. Hard earned money wasted, our boy was disappointed didn’t get to go on certain rides he’d been saying he wanted to go on. Hey ho, always next year! Thought about complaining, is it worth it probably not.
Love your videos guys but could you please please please find another word and stop saying "Fresh" !! 🙏🤞🙏
Mandrill mayhem looks faster now
No excuses Chessington dark rides can surely be worked on in winter? Hope the entrance fee reflected lack of availability.😊Tomb blaster has needed something for a few years now. I remember when it was an Indiana Jones themed ride, which is where the rolling ball figured. ❤ to Shawn and Charlotte.
Jeez this place looks great!
Got to be honest with you guys, Chessington wouldn't be my number one choice of park as I like thrill rides so for me Alton Towers would be best for me. Would love to try Thorpe as never been. Great video though guys and the park looks really good, but not for me.
Not been here before is it worth the trip , we’ve been to Alton towers so don’t want to have higher expectations if it’s not as good 🙈
Sorry For Asking This But Why Don't You Ever Wear Your Own Merchandise 😊
You guys are one of the reasons i've decided to go to alton towers this year! Don't even like rides! ahah, Thanks guys!
Apart from Vampire what was your best ride
Please can you put on a flash warning in future videos? I was not expecting the flashing during Tomb Blaster 🙁
Hi shawn and Charlotte Where are the fountains lol 😊. That's a shame I hope they get them working. Great to see you both at the parks again. I'm looking forward to the season sharing all your trips with you . I myself will be going on a trip of a lifetime in May to florida. I'm going to Orlando and I'm doing all the parks. To say I'm excited is a understatement I just can't wait. 52 years old and I'm like a child . Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you both.as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Will you be doing a Thorpe Park vlog soon
Chessington is by far the worst in the group. So many things not working. Not just a the start of the season but all the time. It just feels like the take the customer for granted.
They need more competition.
Surprised the new wing coaster wasn't ready on Day 1. These day 1 theme park videos I've been seeing in recent days have put me off ever coming to theme park for day 1 of it's opening season.
i went to chessington first Saturday of the season and after a couple of rides i went to check out mandrill mayhem and at that moment it started testing
"Leave the queue line! Leave the queue line!!" 😂😂😂 Brilliant.
Made me a bit sad to see Gruffalo and Tomb Blaster in that state. Tomb blaster and Bubbleworks, as it was, were some of my favourites as a kid. Always remember that bubbleworks smell.
I met you on blue barnacle last year, me and my friend. You sat behind us and we had a photo on there I think! It will always be a good memory
Flooring looks great agreed, but it is slippery when wet, a woman has already hurt/possibly broken her ankle on it, I hope the likes of the security team don’t injure themselves running to problems around the park on wet days!
Went to Chessington yesterday was really disappointing as not only was it packed but rides frequently kept closing and reopening but managed to get on vampire at the end of the day and got on at 7pm when it was dark and had all the purple lights on the track, felt like fright nights 😊
Blackpool needs a revamped ghost train much more scary n more dips
Really appreciate your honesty in these vlogs. Maybe they've been putting too much focus on Jumanji but hopefully things will open up more soon.
Croc drop spinning, winner 👍
Great vlog as always guys! I went yesterday on opening weekend and I've got to say im envious of your queue times (or should I say lack of) haha! Great to see the park in good shape besides a few key rides being down tho
I’m pretty sure I say this every year along with you guys when I’m watching that it’s unacceptable that rides are closed on opening days of a new season !! If the rides ain’t ready then don’t open the park but saying that they have plenty of time to make sure everything is in operation for guests !! Not just at Chessington either, most of the other Merlin parks have had problems so far
The return of Buster 😡
Having just watched your Paultons blog, it’s chalk and cheese how Merlin look after and maintain their parks. What a state Chessington is in! Hope they get their act together in time for Jumaji’s open.
Went on Tomb Blaster on Monday 27th and it broke down near the end, had to be evacuated!
I personally think having only one coaster open out of what is now 5 coasters is absolutely embarrassing…..I’m guessing there charging the normal gate price? There really getting a little too much ‘six flags’ too my liking tbf 😂
Will you be going to the launch of world of jumanji in May? My son is so excited.
