Following a rip-roaring year in 2010, staff at Chessington World of Adventures are celebrating as the Surrey resort has been crowned UK Theme Park of the Year in the Theme Park and Visitor Attractions Awards 2010. The award-winning resort undertook huge developments in 2010, including new...

Pretty good adverts, I have always enjoyed the Fright Nights mazes so have been looking forward to this but from some of the reviews I've read I'm not so sure that I should be!

Very impressed with the theming of Dark Forest and can't wait to ride Thirteen, must get up to Alton Towers soon!

I thinks it's great too, makes the entrance a bit special, give the person who came up with the idea a pat on the back!

I'm really looking forward to Wild Asia, as cial said it's mid-construction so it's hard to judge how good the final look of the new area will be, hopefully there will be plenty of trees and plants added.

As a fan of the whole Terminator franchise this is interesting news, what with the return of The Sarah Connor Chronicles to UK television this week and now this, exciting times! Having a wooden rollercoaster somehow themed around Terminator does seem a bit odd though, it will be interesting...

I actually think it's a good idea as well, if it is some kind of sponsorship arrangement maybe it will mean they will at least have the money to make sure it is a properly themed ride, rather than just little touches like most of their rides, although I hope it won't be too graphic!
