The problem i have with chessington is where Bubbleworks is. for the theme of it. they put it in the completely wrong part of the park. I
the themeing of bubbleoworks must be changed to fit the area it is in. i mean please. the ride is next to vampire for god sake.

hmmm... depends what their budget is... how much they want to develop the park.
If it was up to me I'd stick a small B&M Floorless in there, like Dæmonen at Tivoli Gardens.

I think that would fit the park pretty well if they were serious about developing it and bringing more visitors in. It's modern and meaty, yet somewhat modest like the park itself.
If you went to Tivoli Gardens, that would be the most popular attraction with the 12 year olds.

Blimey I didn't realise how tiny that ride is!
Something like this could work for Chessie, but that is a very big COULD! They would naturally have to dig it into the ground and also fill it with sand to keep noise down to a minimum.
In principle I would say it is a good idea. Given the right theme it could lend itself very nicely to the younger market who are just stretching their thrill legs and want something inverting. Although, the height restriction of 1.4m is a bit of bugger for killing that family aspect.
What does it ride like?

^ Dæmonen actually have a 1.32 m height restriction on it.
The ride itself is pretty slow, except for the part with the inversions.
Not as thrilling, powerful, fast as the larger models.

How about the new coaster they are building at Plopsaland, ok it might have to be a bit lower but it would also work.

0-60mph in two seconds?
That's more like a true white knuckle ride.
I don't think it fits the 10-12 yr old demographic as well as a small B&M Floorless.
If they made it lower it would not need to go as fast, I know when I was 10-12 I was looking for a more thrilling coaster than the Corkscrew.
Alot of kids would have seen Stealth and not been able to go on it at least with this they could. A lot of 10-12 year olds can go on Inferno so I dont see what a small floorless would add tbh. Dragons Furry would probably be more thrilling.
Plus this coaster would probably be cheaper.
But yes I can see what you mean.
But tbh the best coaster they could get for the park to fit that group is a Eurofighter like Rage. The number of kids that come off that with a smile is untrue. A longer version of that would be ideal.
A small woody like Mamout would be great for the park.

Well, it would add a new medium thrill level coaster to the park.
If kids wanna ride an Invert in the south they can go to Thorpe, but a Floorless is something different for the UK and a small one would fit in with Chessie being a family type park. Meaning it's not too intense. If people want thrill rides that's what Thorpe is for.
About what's cheaper, I guess it depends on what Merlin's Chessie budget is, but Merlin certainly is not short of funds.
I suppose I was just looking at it from my point of view, a large Floorless is not that good so I would hate to see what a smaller slower one is like. Plus anyhow most kids aged 10-12 can not get their feet on the floor so I dont see what they would get from not having a floor.
All I meant with the Inferno comment was even kids aged 10-12 what a thrilling coaster and a small floorless is not going to help the park when they can get more down the road.
The coaster that Plopsaland are getting is still a medium thrill coaster but just offers something a bit more and different. Its being marketed as a familiy coaster.
Tbh I am a bit supprised some of the younger members of CF have not given their veiws.

Yea, I guess they are better qualified to say what they would want to ride than us.
But, even if they have the budget, I don't think we're gonna see a Dive Machine, Hypercoaster or anything like that.
Chessington is more of a mid level park and that's what the 10-12 yr old demographic reiterates.
It would be great to see them get a decent mid level coaster tho.

^6 million GBP which is 10 million Euros, what Dæmonen cost.

I don't think a B&M would suit the park, as one its noisy, not in terms of the roar, just in terms of how it rattles and mechanical side.
Where as (being biased) a Gerstlauer is more suited to the park as they can be so much more quieter than other roller coaster, an example of this is Cobra, which runs ever so silently.
A launched version like the Plopsland one would be a great addition, it dosen't even have to be very tall, a similar model to Lynet would be good. They also don't have a high height restriction, I think its 1.3m.

How much would sanding the inside cost though?
A Lynet mirrored clone would fit in the area behind Beanoland very well dimension wise I've deduced from maps and stuff... And with a 1.2m height restriction as well as 2 inversions it's an excellent choice by the looks of things in my opinion...
Chessie needs inversions if they're gonna move into the 10-12 gap, and perhaps having a launched ride will give people who don't wanna do Stealth a good starter...
Hopefully the budget for Beanoland's retheme will be a bit bigger than £6 million... It's probably dependent on next year's figures for the park... If we hit 1.5 million odd again next year, then I can see Merlin possibly realising Chessie's potential as a good park... Although it is currently a well-recieved park by many, it needs a lot of investment in order to be a great park...

*Sighs* I've posted at least 6 times in this thread, and I've only recently tunred 14, and I'd say that was young, seeing as there are 25+ year olds....ACTIVE.
EDIT: ^like kanonen, which is what I said, but i do think they need to do something what their competitors dont have (their competitors being legoland and thorpe) then once they start getting even more visitors, do something thier competitors have, just to increasd the ride amount. I'm thinking a woody, and maybe a 4d (small of course) or a wing rider (encirculing an area in chessie).
