First day of the main season at Chessington today, and since tomorrow is my birthday, I was there.
Anyway, arrived at about 10:10, got in at around half past, and went to Vampire, where the queue hadn't been opened. They couldn't tell us what was wrong, or why we had to wait, but at about 10:50, it started testing, and by 11:10 we were allowed in, and we got on the first train of the day.
Next up we went to black Buccaneer. Couldn't get as far back as I would have liked, but still fun.
Next up was the Dodgems, which provided us with the only breakdown we experienced all day. The PA system broke, so they couldn't give the safety announcments, but it was fixed quickly.
After that, my memory goes a bit blurry, so I won't attempt to give an order for the rides, just a count:
Vampire - 4
Dragon's Fury - 4
Rattlesnake - 1
Dodgems - 1
Billy's Whizzer - 1
Tomb Blaster - 1
Dragon Falls - 1
Bubbleworks - 1
Black Buccaneer - 1
Penguin show - 1
Aquarium - 1
I think that's it. Good points of today, we managed to miss most of the long queues, and the pizza buffet place was excellent, even if they did try to sell us annual passes.
Unfortunately, the new part of the sealife centre hasn't been completed yet which was disappointing.
A very good day, and I will be going back there soon hopefully.
