The Runaway mine train appeared to be having some problems today as the train was stuck half way round with the restraints open
Unfortunutly the ride was closed all day and there is no word when it will reopen
Samurai in Action
Its still a good ride as always but way too short and not intense enough
One final shot of Samurai in Action
I managed to sneak into Action Man HQ today which I was suprised about as I thought this attraction had closed down so I thought I would take some shots inside the attraction
The Toxic Swamp which must be crossed with great care
A shot of one of the last obstacles crawling through a tent, Incidently when I talked to a member of staff on the ride, they confirmed that this would be the last year for Action Man HQ as it is making way for the new Land of The Dragons set to debut in 2004
The Black Buccaneer in action, this ride has been repainted for the 2003 season and it looks really nice
Another shot of the ride in Action
Sadly Ramesis Revenge was closed today as well, a member of staff said it may open later, but I dont know if it did or not
Billys Whizzer from a distance, this is a great swing ride as there are water squirters ready to soak unsuspecting people, Certaintly good to ride if the weather is good
The exit tunnel for the Vampire, Incidently this ride also broke down today for quite a while
The SkyRide which goes round the zoo section and some areas of the park
I will finish the Chessie Update with a picture on the map about the new land for 2004 called Land of the Dragons, Chessington are promising a fantastic new show venue,treehouses,play areas and 4 more sizzling hot new attraction plus the promise of a Spinning RollerCoaster(Sounds Interesting) and judgeing by the picture, it might be done in the same style as Winja and Force at Phantasialand in Germany
