I’m here with you for bubbleworks but I’m so glad Shawn and Charlotte that bubbleworks fountains have survived but in my heart ❤ I will always will remember professor burp’s bubbleworks and bubbleworks in my heart as shown on 7:52.
I went on a Thursday to chessington and there was only about 150 people, mainly families with toddlers. we went on vampire 5 times In a row, dragons fury 8 times and dragons falls 15 times in a row that day was great
We're taking my younger brothers to Chessington for the first time next week, so I'm sitting with them watching a bunch of videos people have uploaded to get them even more exited. My 11 year old brother has ADHD/ASD so it's really helpful for him to have an idea of what to expect, this video really helps with that so thank you :)
Never clicked on a video quicker than this one! Going towards the end of this month to chessington and am honestly so excited. My reaction to this being uploaded was amazing..... BEST CHANNEL WITH THE BEST CONTENT! Ly guys soooo much! 😅❤
Re-watching the vlogs, to me chessington was a park that was one of the first i went to when i was smaller. Still havent done Zufari or Kobra and i havent done gruffalo either!! I last went when wild asia was beanoland
This is fantastic to hear Shawn. I'd have to agree with Alex, it seems like Merlin have been upping their game recently. With DBGT and now this, I have high hopes for SW8 and the future of the parks! :)
The reliability of DBGT was a real mess, the ride itself was great, and now is fantastic. Gruffalo isn't basic or empty at all. This is a classic case of the grass is greener on the other side. DBGT is a one of a kind attraction that the UK is extremely lucky to have. You are also forgetting the fact that UK parks are European parks. :)
Went on Ramses Revenge last time I went to visit, it was easily the best ride on park, loved how the operator was just toying with us. Vampire's got great queue line music, but the experience you get depends on where you sit.
I say they give Vampire a refurb. Track reprint, restoration of the station, giving the props a touch up and hopefully they can keep it for a few more years.
I was at the John Lewis day at Alton Towers last Saturday and saw you and Harry at the gate (too scared to say hi though), also saw Lee walking around the park and I would just like to comment on the friendliness of every single staff member. We came from Surrey so decided to stay the night in the hotel and all the staff were amazing, same in the theme park. Much more polite and helpful than the staff at Thorpe Park which is my local :)
I think the Gruffalo is a decent family attraction and I too am glad the fountains (most at least) have survived the retheme. Loved the cheeky reference at the end there too.
I was at Chessie on Monday as well. Shame I didn't see you! I was very pleasantly surprised with The Gruffalo, I'd give it a good 8/10. It will never be as good as the original Bubbleworks, but it is far and away better than the stripped back and neglected version we had been left with. I now really hope that they keep the ride in a good condition and all the effects working!!
A great overview.Im visiting next week with my 2 year old so was good to see each ride before we decide to go on them. Nice to hear the old Bubbleworks theme aswell.
What they should do on off peak days for Rameses Revenge is anyone who wishes to ride it gets an allocated time slot (like a free fastrack) and they ride it at that time.
Missing the theme parks so much I decided to watch your first reaction to Gruffalo! Not long now until the parks reopen and now we’re expecting World of Jumanji!!!
It's difficult because I'm about half an hour away from Alton Towers so it'd be like a 3 hour drive but if I'm ever visiting the area I'd definitely stop by
I remember riding Toadie's Crazy Cars with my stepdad and he was giving me a "Driving test" It was so funny because he was saying at certain points "Right. Now change gear" And I would literally pretend there was a gear stick there and change xD But now I feel like I don't want to ride it anymore I feel like I'm too old haha
The adventure tree looks amazing and that wipe out game Is the same as forbidden sweep. I don't think the stage re-theme works cause it's not in wiled woods. The gruffalo does restore some hope for me in terms of merlin theming. They could do with a new coaster and dragon falls theming then I'm happy.
Another amazing vlog, got good theming inside Gruffalo but 100% still prefer original storyline rides, attractions and coasters, instead of IP's. As Ip's are temporary. Where original attractions are permanent I like to hope so. But yeah sad to see Bubble works go, hope one day it may come back? But who knows & probs unlikely. But anyways, cheers for filming this vlog aswell sharing. Look forward to next & future vlogs. 😀👍
Im a speaker fan and and i loved chessington old speakers cause i grew up with them and at 46:45 they got rid of that speaker and got rid of a lot of old speakers and i was really upset by getting rid of them but the new theming is great to though 😊
I went on the Saturday it opened and it was brill, and busy, I don't like the new voice on vampire but rameses revenge was amazing they sent you round twice first time not so intense but the second time was amazing
Ive just got back from Hong Kong and i went to Disneyland,I feel you guys will have to bite your tongue while at the theme parks over there regarding queue jumping,trust me it happens ALL the time,I mean i saw it 3 or 4 times on every ride we went on,Different way of life in China/Japan.Good luck.
Can't believe you missed the fact the Vampire changed its station audio "The bats taking flight hahah" Instead of "Your in for a fright Mwahahahahahahahhhhhahaha"
I'm binging Chessington vlogs because I'm hoping it will somehow make me able to go back go Chessington some time soon :P It's very unlikely but I still wish I could.
I really do hope they don't remove it. It was my second coaster ever and my first proper one, so when I go this Summer I'll make sure I tell the staff to not remove it!
I rided nearly all of these accept the Upiside down one the rattlesnake since closed and Dragons fury, I went when the 4 rides were closed because of smiler. Anyway,
i miss going to theme parks like alton towers and the american adventure theme park..ive now got veritgo from an ear infection so my coaster days are over ;-(
saw you at chessington today. i said to you arh its the youtube man :) (Sorry forgot your name) you also had a pic with my wife on 5th nov at Alton Towers entrance :) great vids Shawn :)
Will you giys be visiting flamingo land this season? Im going in July with some of the children I work with and would love to see whats happening there! Love the vlog as usual! x
gruffalo is lovely, however it is supposed to be aimed at young children, my 3 year old wouldn't even go on it she started screaming as soon as we took her in, my 5 year old went in however was also afraid. saw loads of toddlers coming out crying.
I didn't like the 2D effect with the mouse and the snake. They could have used a practical effect instead of glass effect. I would have went with an animatronic with a sound box. There were some small moments like when we met the actual Gruffalo they could have animated him where he would actually move a little bit and scare the heebie-jeebies out of you. Other than that the overall ride is really nice as I know being tech savvy how incredibly complicated it is to get everything to work together for one continuous story.
I'm not really a fan of The Gruffalo. I went on it in the summer, and for me I didn't like the fact that the story was word for word copied from the source material. At least with Charlie they managed to deviate a little bit, but when you know exactly what will happen it takes the fun out of it.
As mentioned below they are different as that's what the whole park is built for. IP's used in parks that were not originally designed for it I'm not a fan of
hi Shawn you do great vlogs i haven't seen all of them the ones i have seen are brill you and the gang give great views of them, but i want to know how on earth can you afford them all, keep up the great vids. 10/10
I’m here with you for bubbleworks but I’m so glad Shawn and Charlotte that bubbleworks fountains have survived but in my heart ❤ I will always will remember professor burp’s bubbleworks and bubbleworks in my heart as shown on 7:52.
You know what they say, you can't have a vlog without Alex!!! What a legend!!
I went on a Thursday to chessington and there was only about 150 people, mainly families with toddlers. we went on vampire 5 times In a row, dragons fury 8 times and dragons falls 15 times in a row
that day was great

Thank you Millie, I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Great vlog. Glad to see Chessington World off adventures is still a great park!!!!! Xxx
Re-watching the vlogs, to me chessington was a park that was one of the first i went to when i was smaller. Still havent done Zufari or Kobra and i havent done gruffalo either!! I last went when wild asia was beanoland
I am so happy you guys enjoyed it means a lot!
Thanks Andy
Theme Park Worldwide how do you know his name
I like the look of the Adventure Tree Carousel. But I would like Tomb Blaster to be sorted out maybe retheme it like what they did with Bubbleworks
Instablaster...
Aw, disappointed they haven't got new pin badge designs this year! Can't wait to get back on The Vampire.
I personally think chessington needs a rapids
siebe meuris rapids? ... what r thay !?
regan bentley a rapid river, with them boats in a troth with waves
Now that would be great!
Theme Park Worldwide u reply ?
I think a rapids that interacts with Zufari would be good
This is fantastic to hear Shawn. I'd have to agree with Alex, it seems like Merlin have been upping their game recently. With DBGT and now this, I have high hopes for SW8 and the future of the parks! :)
COASTER BOT D A E R O C K W O R K?
More rocks will be coming so don't worry ;)
DAE
I agree
The reliability of DBGT was a real mess, the ride itself was great, and now is fantastic. Gruffalo isn't basic or empty at all. This is a classic case of the grass is greener on the other side. DBGT is a one of a kind attraction that the UK is extremely lucky to have. You are also forgetting the fact that UK parks are European parks. :)
Went on Ramses Revenge last time I went to visit, it was easily the best ride on park, loved how the operator was just toying with us. Vampire's got great queue line music, but the experience you get depends on where you sit.
Well sadly Rameses Revenge closed back in 2019 to replace it with a drop tower called Croc Drop for the 2021 season
I say they give Vampire a refurb. Track reprint, restoration of the station, giving the props a touch up and hopefully they can keep it for a few more years.
I literally jumped off my bed when you started singing Where Are The Fountains :D! So happy:D!
Crystal Hill when was that?
Rewind to 1:02:13 then just keep watching from there
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Crystal Hill o

Very much agree with your comment here, thanks for watching!
A great overview.Im visiting next week with my 2 year old so was good to see each ride before we decide to go on them. Nice to hear the old Bubbleworks theme aswell.
Have a great time
Looks to be a Very Nice park. This is the type I would visit quite often. Sometimes you need something low key but enjoyable. Very Nice!
I think Rameses Revenge was closed because when I went at the weekend it kept breaking down and it it took forever to get on!!
Guigi Bottle Flips I was waiting while my uncle, my aunt and two of my coisins went on, it broke down. I thought I'd be there for hours!
RIP Bubbleworks you'll be missed
What they should do on off peak days for Rameses Revenge is anyone who wishes to ride it gets an allocated time slot (like a free fastrack) and they ride it at that time.
nice bubbleworks tribute at the end with the fountains
Missing the theme parks so much I decided to watch your first reaction to Gruffalo! Not long now until the parks reopen and now we’re expecting World of Jumanji!!!
We can’t wait!
YESSSS I have something to do for the next hour and your minutes 🙌
Great vid,I am going to chessington tommorow
I've not been to Chessington World of Adventures for 12 years!
I've not been for 21 years! Would love to go again
then go!!!!!!!!!!
It's difficult because I'm about half an hour away from Alton Towers so it'd be like a 3 hour drive but if I'm ever visiting the area I'd definitely stop by
Scott Whittingham GO THEN YOU IDIOT I AM A SPURS FAN COME ON SPURS!!!!
I've never been been but by the time I writing this I'm going in a day
I remember riding Toadie's Crazy Cars with my stepdad and he was giving me a "Driving test" It was so funny because he was saying at certain points "Right. Now change gear" And I would literally pretend there was a gear stick there and change xD But now I feel like I don't want to ride it anymore I feel like I'm too old haha

Owen C yes the dragon falls theming *needs* to return
Great video as always, A little weird but did anyone else thought they saw something in The thumbnail picture 😂
2:30 same lighting in the foyer walkway in Duel isn't it?
It sure is
Birmingham does have a 360° tunnel in its sealife centre
Another amazing vlog, got good theming inside Gruffalo but 100% still prefer original storyline rides, attractions and coasters, instead of IP's. As Ip's are temporary.

Loved the fountains
The fountains/bubbleworks song is what I'd like to hear whenever I conquer I scary ride :P
Great Vlog Shawn.
Thank you
Theme Park Worldwide awesome Vlog I love Alex he is funny are you going to Disney land Paris I've been there before and it was FABULOUS please answer
Im a speaker fan and and i loved chessington old speakers cause i grew up with them and at 46:45 they got rid of that speaker and got rid of a lot of old speakers and i was really upset by getting rid of them but the new theming is great to though 😊
What's the best day to visit? So it's not so busy.
Weekdays outside of school holidays is the best time to visit
Awesome thank you! Gonna try and go on a Tuesday in a few weeks! Hopefully it'll be fairly empty :'))
i do love the vampire ride it was my first rollercoaster i every went on
the fountains are here to stay yay 😁 as shown on 7:52.
awesome i love the vlogs
I went on the Saturday it opened and it was brill, and busy, I don't like the new voice on vampire but rameses revenge was amazing they sent you round twice first time not so intense but the second time was amazing
Ive just got back from Hong Kong and i went to Disneyland,I feel you guys will have to bite your tongue while at the theme parks over there regarding queue jumping,trust me it happens ALL the time,I mean i saw it 3 or 4 times on every ride we went on,Different way of life in China/Japan.Good luck.
It will be interesting to see, hopefully it wont be to bad when we visit
Theme Park Worldwide it will be as that's the way it is. Nobody says anything. Over here it would cause a riot!
So happy the trainwreck of the Imperial Leather Sponsorship is gone and Chessington have put some effort on The Gruffalo Ride.
I'm getting a strong feeling that SW8's gonna have some incredible theming.
Johnny Charisma I hope so :) !!!
From 2019- Yes it did 😂
The top of the carisole doesn't spin because I went on Saturday and they were testing it
Great video as usual!
The fountain song is now officially "Where is bubblewooorks? Goodbye bubblewoooorks! We hope youuu coooome baaaack soooooon!" :(
Well I'm TH-cam famous now xD Thanks Shaun, good seeing you again!
Great to see you!
Can't believe you missed the fact the Vampire changed its station audio "The bats taking flight hahah" Instead of "Your in for a fright Mwahahahahahahahhhhhahaha"
Brilliant vlog! On a different subject, I'm going to flamingo land soon and want to know which I should go on first, velocity or Kumali. Pls help!
Velocity!
Theme Park Worldwide will do !
Mabye they could move rameses ravange to alton towers as it would be better suited there
great video Shawn
Do chessington allow cameras on their rides??
They don't unfortunately
Is this because they would rather their own video, or because they are concerned about safety??
Then why did I see a lot of the POVs of the rides you didn't show a POV of?
fantastic. thank you very much
Good video
I'm binging Chessington vlogs because I'm hoping it will somehow make me able to go back go Chessington some time soon :P It's very unlikely but I still wish I could.
That creepy music on Vamprie brings back memories of the first and only time I rode it.
if Chessington are re-theming Transylvania then are they going to re-theme, or worse, remove Vampire?
I really do hope they don't remove it. It was my second coaster ever and my first proper one, so when I go this Summer I'll make sure I tell the staff to not remove it!
'Do you want a doughnut'
Alex Crump
Mr Lee Wood's laundry ahahahahaha im dying
great vlog
I rided nearly all of these accept the Upiside down one the rattlesnake since closed and Dragons fury, I went when the 4 rides were closed because of smiler. Anyway,
And when I rided tombblaster I watched people shoot
i miss going to theme parks like alton towers and the american adventure theme park..ive now got veritgo from an ear infection so my coaster days are over ;-(
We're sorry to hear that
also they kept the fountsins
pause at 31:18 :)
saw you at chessington today. i said to you arh its the youtube man :) (Sorry forgot your name) you also had a pic with my wife on 5th nov at Alton Towers entrance :) great vids Shawn :)
Great to see you!
Nice Video Guys! Look out for the Beauchamp Family Gruffalo River Boat Ride review today at 3pm on TH-cam...we need to do a meet-up! :0)
Will you giys be visiting flamingo land this season? Im going in July with some of the children I work with and would love to see whats happening there! Love the vlog as usual! x
We will be visiting at some point this year!
I’m going there soon I can’t not wite for it watt roller coaster do you recommend 😎
Vampire and Dragon’s Fury are both great rides!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide thank for the recommendation will defo go on those 😎
I broke down on the griffins Galleon yesterday 😝
That swing went ridiculously fast
gruffalo is lovely, however it is supposed to be aimed at young children, my 3 year old wouldn't even go on it she started screaming as soon as we took her in, my 5 year old went in however was also afraid. saw loads of toddlers coming out crying.
I thought your aloud to record on the rides now at chesssington
Theme Park Fanatics with go pros yes
We will have to look into this!
Great video
How do you get to chessington in 2 and a half hours from where you live?
The M40 is usually the best option for us
they got rid of bubble works?¿ NOOOOO
great vlog. Are your rivals theme park planet?
We wouldn't say we have rivals, everyone who produces content does it because they love visiting the theme parks!
Tbh I'm more scared of Dragon's Fury than Vampire
Same I rode dragons fury once and had my eyes closed the entire time and I’ve been one vampire 10 times it’s way funner
Going here tomorrow!
Did you get a new camera?
This is on our usual camera
Okay it looks alot better though. :) Either way really enjoyed this vlog :D
great video
Going in 2 days any ride recommendations?
Have a great time, don't miss Vampire!
Why was the smiler closed today??
The ride needed a part, it's back open now
I miss this theme park :(
will you do an alton towers vlog tomorrow? if so, I will be there
Our latest Alton Towers vlog is now online
I didn't like the 2D effect with the mouse and the snake. They could have used a practical effect instead of glass effect. I would have went with an animatronic with a sound box. There were some small moments like when we met the actual Gruffalo they could have animated him where he would actually move a little bit and scare the heebie-jeebies out of you. Other than that the overall ride is really nice as I know being tech savvy how incredibly complicated it is to get everything to work together for one continuous story.
I went a day before for the first and we waited 75 mins for vampire but it was worth it
What do you use to record videos?
We use a Panasonic HD camcorder
Thanks!
It's Zebra not Zebra
I have always said it like that for a joke as that's how they say it on Zufari!
Peter P you spelled it the same
Peter P that's like saying, it's chessington not chessington
That's the joke
It's zebra not zeebra
Someone needs to do a compilation of all the "where are the fountains"
Oh yes!
I'm going here soon x
I'm not really a fan of The Gruffalo. I went on it in the summer, and for me I didn't like the fact that the story was word for word copied from the source material. At least with Charlie they managed to deviate a little bit, but when you know exactly what will happen it takes the fun out of it.
My family have a joke whenever we go to wmsp we shout zeebra (pronounced how you pronounce it) and to continue the joke call giraffes jeeraffs.
It's so funny how they call it that on the ride!
Do you think vampire will change name
We doubt it anytime soon
Are you going to Thorpe park tomorrow
Not tomorrow but we will be once the ghost train has opened
Ok thanks
Wait, if you don't like IPs does that mean you prefer Efteling and Europa Park over Disney and Universal?
disney and universal ips seem different though
As mentioned below they are different as that's what the whole park is built for. IP's used in parks that were not originally designed for it I'm not a fan of
hi Shawn you do great vlogs i haven't seen all of them the ones i have seen are brill you and the gang give great views of them, but i want to know how on earth can you afford them all, keep up the great vids. 10/10
I work full time and always look out for deals!
I'm going tommorow yay
thanks
