  • The History of Chessington World of Adventures is broad! The old rides of Chessington also range from the likes of Rameses Revenge, Bubbleworks and Dragon Falls. Today i look round using my unique time transportation method, google maps - and travel back to see what Chessington was like back in 2009! Rides such as Mandrill Mayhem and Kobra did not exist, leaving Vampire and Dragons Fury as standouts. It's so different from now! Watch the video to see just how much different it is!

    Used to go for day trips quite a bit as a kid. Remember loving the circus there and the Bubbleworks was my favourite ride. The vampire shop in the 90’s was also awesome and the area theming just felt better (but that might have just been because it was through child eyes). Also remember the action man assault course, which was a bit of fun - burned a bit of energy 😆

    I would love for you to do paultons park as i work there as a ride operator and i know alot has changed in past few years and would be cool to see what it was like even though i could do it in like 5 mins but you make great and enjoyable content out of it

    I remember “back in the golden days” of exit passes. Because I’m autistic, I could do the whole exit pass thing with my dad as my carer; and this was when little was know about it, and it was essentially unregulated. I managed to do Vampire 16 times in a day when I was 8, which got me a letter from some Merlin high-up

    You only went back to 2009, but if you could have seen it in 1989 or even 1999 you would have been mind blown! The destruction of Chessington started in the early/mid 2000's.

    Nice video, honestly miss most of these attractions even some of them that I didn't even go on. Like Ramses Revenge was a good flat ride for thrill enthusiasts, really missed & think maybe could relocated it? But not completely removed it, bad call there I think from Chessington. Loved Bubble Works, hope when IP runs out on Gruffalo they refurbish into a modern day new bubble works or if not restore it as it was? Was a really good ride, loved the water tunnels & fountain, epic area. About modern day, think in my opinion Scorpion Express needs to be removed 100%, created way for something new, was thinking maybe a proper mine train like BTMRR? Vekoma Mine Train coaster as that type be epic? If not? In a few years if jungle a.k.a Jumanji was extended? Could build it in there? Doubt any of it will happen, but worth considering? But nice video, really enjoyed and look forward to next video. 😀👍

    After the previous Back In Time video I looked up the Legoland StreetView myself; lots of stuff in there I recognised, but there were some areas like the far side of the lake that I think I never actually entered until long after all the old stuff had been removed (I'd seen the Jungle Coaster, but I'm not sure I knew Dino Safari existed).
