    I’ve not watched the the end but great video , thank you so much for making it , I have been for about 8 years and it was quite rundown when I went everything needed a good bit of painting and I was there a day or so before the fire , I was staying on a Santa sleepover and one of the huts which were being used forSanta they had a heater and it started a fire .

    Congratulations Adam, nice production of that with some great use of graphics. Would have loved to see more videos and some of adventureme style fade ins but I guess you could have ended up with hours of video... but what surprised me most was how new some of the attractions I thought had been there for ever were. It was really interesting to see you cover areas that others might overlook such as the food outlets, but there was one outlet I was waiting for you to say was launched in ???? but it never featured, can you think which one I'm talking about we both enjoy something from there. Amazing hearing how many times focuses switched, just at the time of big change right now. Mr UKTP Chessington thank you very much

    Any video that starts with the bubbleworks music is a good video. My first visit was in 2010 and visited many times until 2018. I returned last year when world of Jumanji opened

      I love that tune and bubbleworks smelt so good it isn’t the same now from when you had gone there in 2010 . Used to go for a day and my parents took picnic for us all it was busy but now it’s probably packed out a whole lot more nowadays.

      @Sparkle3421 Yeah, I heard the original smelt of orange juice or something. I would love it if they bring Professor Burp back

    Have lived in Chessington all my life & have seen it transform from a zoo to what it is today. Was a ride operator there in early 90's. All local residents still refer to it as "the zoo".

    • @UKThemeParks
      @UKThemeParks  3 месяца назад

      Think it built a better reputation as a zoo than theme park to be fair, hoping a positive future

    • @Sparkle3421
      @Sparkle3421 17 дней назад

      Do you get discount for living near , I think there was a certain distant ? I remember in the journey and taking forever to get even close in the car and thinking what a pain it would be in open season especially school holidays

    • @sazharas
      @sazharas 17 дней назад

      @Sparkle3421 We get 4 free tickets per household a year, however you have to live within a certain radius of the park to get them. I will admit, I've not used mine for a couple of years now. The traffic in the peak season can be a nightmare but we have learnt to put up with it.

    I liked skyway, they still have some of them sitting around the back near the sealife. I like the atmosphere of Chessington, more so in the 90’s but it’s a bit badly run now I think.
