I worked for a theme park for four seasons in total, my final three of which was in Rides. I want to echo firstly what @JoshC. I loved learning about everything that went on behind the scenes that kept the theme park running.
Sure you get some challenging days when your outside for the whole day...
While it is possible that Exodus could be set up to run three trains, I am more leaning towards a Stealth situation which also has three trains, but only has two in service, and the third in strip down maintenance. I think Thorpe/Merlin will want Exodus on most days to be on two trains...
This thread brings back a tiny bit of nostalgia, I visited it when it was a wildlife park in probably twice on holidays in Devon between 2006 and 2008. I honestly don’t really remember to much of the attraction minus the miniature railway, which was relatively short, and the only other thing I...
It would be nice if Thorpe had increased the length, or even withheld part of the layout from the public consultation because it was sheltered by the park, however I just can’t realistically see that being the case and think this would be more likely for the removal of the rest of Loggers that...

Following the announcement I think the longer TTD remains closed, the less likely the ride will reopen. Another factor that may come into this, if Cedar Fair are struggling financially, it would make sense they and CP might not be wanting to invest in fixing up a coaster that is nearly 20 years...
I think it is good for Chessington, and I like the direction that the park is adding more rides which will help spread the queues around on busy days.
That being said I do question the logic of installing Timber Tug at Chessington, as the park does already have Griffin’s Galleon which does...
Decided to take a walk down by Monks Walk yesterday, not too much has changed since I last took a walk down it, but it is nice to see the CCR No.2 engine is now standing up on it’s wheels.
