What's new at Chessie this year then if the arena isn't going ahead? Nothing?
Way to keep the attendances low..
Looks like that way... Unless you count the new Pizza and Pasta place replacing PH and KFC...
I also hear Nero are out this year at all the park's as well, most likely continuing the in-house thing...
The low attendance is arguable though, last year was the busiest since 2000, but tbh, hoping the same will happen this year is a lot to hope for...
Chessie desperately needs a higher level of investment, and since the old Park Manager is now at Thorpe, hopefully the new one will try and improve the entire park and zoo, since that's what Chessie's main appeal should be, the zoo with rides attached...
Tbh by 2012 I'd like to see the safari thing happening, 2010 and 2011 can be used to focus on the park's current faults and for retheming out-of-contract rides (Beanoland and Bubbles both run out this year I believe)...
A safari area where Creature Features is currently would be brilliant, especially due to it's proximity to the main car park... Think about that, driving into the park and there's giraffes... What an impact that would make to new guests imo...
I think about this too much :lol:
