Chessington was my original stomping ground. First time I went at age 8, it was the golden age of exit passes, and I went on Vampire 16 times. Got a letter from a Merlin higher up saying I was one of their best explorers, which was pretty sick
yesterday I went on vampire, I was super excited as it was my favourite ride when I was younger and I went on it and I screamed so loud “DAN IS RIGHT THIS NEEDS A RETRRACK”😂😂
When I went , I couldn’t get on mandrill cuz of virtual queues being full all day , dragons fury broke down as we were about to go on it (we did get 1 free fast pass but it was ALMOST the end of the day). Croc drop was also closed. Then it got worse because at the end of the day I only got on 3 rides. Vampire (2x) , Rattlesnake 🤮and kobra. It was a busy day , I got to admit.
Haha, literally just went there last week and tried Mandrill Mayhem and Vampire for the first time. But I really do have to admit, Elmer's Flying Jumbos will always just be better.
Great video as always! I would happily watch a yearly top 10/20/50/etc for each UK theme park you visit, because I am very basic like that and love rankings. I haven't been to chessington for 25 years so I desperately want to go now!
Went to Chessington today and it was around 5:00, we were right at the end of the 1 hour+ queue for dragons fury when it broke down and we were all kicked out the queue with a free fast pass. Went to ostrich stampede in jumanji and THAT broke down in the middle of the queue, so we left and used the fast passes on mandrill mayhem when we’d already gone on it earlier on 😭
Great video! I went to Chessington for the first time yesterday and I have to say it was a lot of fun! I agree with Mandrill mayhem, it’s such a fun ride! I personally liked rattlesnake quite a lot, me and my brother couldn’t stop laughing at the corners!
Here's my top 10 rides: 1. Mandrill Mayhem 2. Dragons Fury 3. Vampire 4. Croc Drop 5. Mamba Strike 6. Kobra 7. Ostrich Stampede 8. Monkey Swinger 9. Blue Barnace and 10. Rattlesnake! Just my opinion! Love your videos Dan!
I went on gruffallo a few years back on a trip to chessington, and the ride broke, we got stuck on the hill in our lil ring for about 40 mins lmao Beautiful stuff 👌
Yes amazing Video I went on loads of rides (vampire, dragons fury,rattlesnake and mandrill mayhem) being my favourites!! I love Chessington so much. I went in August. I really want to go again as-well! I recommend fast pass for dragons fury and vampire and rattlesnake i waited so so long. Also a long queue for tomb blasters for some reason!
I went with my kids last year and Mandrill was closed unfortunately but 🤞🏻 hopefully it's open when we visit soon. My favourite ride there is Vampire and I've convinced my teenager that it's really special 🦇 my 2 year old hated the gruffalo ride yet loved Tomb Blaster 😂
Hey dan heres your reminder that we have feelings too vampire was my first coaster and in the queue i was asking my sister " wheres the vampires i wanted vampires" and on the ride i said " this is NOT A VAMPIRE AAAA
Never been I should go some time soon but I think my top 20 will be 1 Mandril mayhem 2 Dragons furry 3 Croc drop 4 vampire 5 Mamba strike 6 Rattle Snake 7 tiger rock 8 blue barnicle 9 kobra 10 Ostrich stampede 11 Scorpion Express 12 monkey swinger 13 barrel bail out 14 sea storm 15 river raft 16 trawler trouble 17 Elmer's flying Jumbo's 18 jungle bus 19 tuk tuk turmoil 20 The gruffalo river ride adventure ! @Digital Dan You should do this for Alton towers and thorpe with top 20
in a way, I'm sort of glad I'm an old fart at 38. I'm lucky enough to remember Rameses Revenge, Terror Tomb AND bubbleworks! not been in decades though so that's not to say it's not good now, Vampire is a classic - I'm glad that's still there!!
By the way, monkey swinger and tomb blaster are closed, the signs outside say that they’re undergoing health checks, and they’ve been closed since the start of the season the other week, they’re also not listed on the queue times on the app and their name isn’t on the map.
me and my mates got mcdonalds at 7 am yesterday, got on the bus to go home, he said "english or spansih" we didnt get of the bus and edned up at chessington, paid 121 and went in chessington, its so fun
Here's how I rank the ones that I have done: 24. Sea Dragons 23. Jungle Bus 22. Elmer's Flying Jumbos 21. Trawler Trouble 20. Griffin's Galleon 19. Jungle Rangers 18. Treetop Hoppers 17. River Rafts 16. Ostrich Stampede 15. Seastorm 14. Blue Barnacle 13. Monkey Swinger 12. Mamba Strike 11. Scorpion Express 10. Tomb Blaster 9. Zufari - Ride Into Africa 8. Kobra 7. Croc Drop 6. Rattlesnake 5. Gruffalo River Ride Adventure 4. Vampire 3. Tiger Rock 2. Mandrill Mayhem 1. Dragon's Fury Rattlesnake is a very fun ride and worthy of number 6 Vampire is not as good as I remember it as it is forceless in some areas Gruffalo may have been number 2 if it was still bubbleworks Mandrill Mayhem is overrated, and the restraints dig into my collar bone, making the ride experience less enjoyable for me Dragon's Fury was always my favourite, and my recent visits consolidated that for me as the spin is brilliant
Went on vampire it was really good. To be honest I can’t decide what’s my favourite ride it’s between vampire or mandrill mayhem when on Dragons fury, it was really bumpy Bang my head on the car twice
My favourite is the Railway Express or something LOL, but I'm also not a huge fan of the Vampire, and on Tiger Rock I say at the front and literally screamed.
My first rollercoaster was here, I think I was 8 or 9... I must admit I did cry because that lifthill for dragons fury scared me to death. Like that noise wtf.
I've only been once and I arrived at 12pm the place was so busy and the queues so long I only got to go on two decent rides, then it closed. 2 rides in 5 hours.
putting the buffalo ride over kobra and rattlesnake is a crime, also dragon's falls deserves it's position, always been a banger, even though the park is in denial about it's true name, same with black buccaneer
Been reading all the comments... Going for the first time to chessington probably went when i was really little i don't even remember... Going as part of a school trip. Any recommendations? Ive gotta let go of my fear of high rides and heights. Especially since ive done a few roller coasters but cant keep my eyes open lol😂
So definitely a family park for than a thrill ride destination. I’m not sure I would like this more than Legoland because that place had more rides and theming was better. I suppose if I’m ever going to bother going here I better do it while our kids are young. But I might just not bother. Most of the rides seem to be stuff you get at travelling fun fairs.
Chessington was my original stomping ground. First time I went at age 8, it was the golden age of exit passes, and I went on Vampire 16 times. Got a letter from a Merlin higher up saying I was one of their best explorers, which was pretty sick
Nice!!
Lucky!
yesterday I went on vampire, I was super excited as it was my favourite ride when I was younger and I went on it and I screamed so loud “DAN IS RIGHT THIS NEEDS A RETRRACK”😂😂
😂😂
❤
LOL NO WAY 😂😂😂😂
Yes it does my head got bashed about 100 times!!!
FR 😂😂
Dans opinion changing: "Call it a retrack if you will"
When I went , I couldn’t get on mandrill cuz of virtual queues being full all day , dragons fury broke down as we were about to go on it (we did get 1 free fast pass but it was ALMOST the end of the day). Croc drop was also closed. Then it got worse because at the end of the day I only got on 3 rides. Vampire (2x) , Rattlesnake 🤮and kobra. It was a busy day , I got to admit.
I went yesterday and walked straight on it without the virtual queue, everywhere was quiet
Lucky , I went on a busy day i guess@@daniellebuxton485
Mandrill mayhem is my new favourite, definitely number one in the park! I really was not expecting a lot of airtime on the backwards spike!
Nah dragons fury is still the best imo
Haha, literally just went there last week and tried Mandrill Mayhem and Vampire for the first time. But I really do have to admit, Elmer's Flying Jumbos will always just be better.
Lmaooo
Great video as always! I would happily watch a yearly top 10/20/50/etc for each UK theme park you visit, because I am very basic like that and love rankings.
I haven't been to chessington for 25 years so I desperately want to go now!
i went on mandrill mayhem when i went 2 weeks ago and it’s now one of my favourite rides and i love it so much.
Went to Chessington today and it was around 5:00, we were right at the end of the 1 hour+ queue for dragons fury when it broke down and we were all kicked out the queue with a free fast pass.

Dang I'm going Tuesday hope it doesn't happen to me

I went with my kids last year and Mandrill was closed unfortunately but 🤞🏻 hopefully it's open when we visit soon. My favourite ride there is Vampire and I've convinced my teenager that it's really special 🦇 my 2 year old hated the gruffalo ride yet loved Tomb Blaster 😂

Never been I should go some time soon but I think my top 20 will be 1 Mandril mayhem 2 Dragons furry 3 Croc drop 4 vampire 5 Mamba strike 6 Rattle Snake 7 tiger rock 8 blue barnicle 9 kobra 10 Ostrich stampede 11 Scorpion Express 12 monkey swinger 13 barrel bail out 14 sea storm 15 river raft 16 trawler trouble 17 Elmer's flying Jumbo's 18 jungle bus 19 tuk tuk turmoil 20 The gruffalo river ride adventure ! @Digital Dan You should do this for Alton towers and thorpe with top 20
7:59 should be higher mate 😂
I went on the gruffalo ride to be funny but I very genuinely almost fell out of it like three times those dips are no joke
Who thinks dan should wait for exodus and horizon before doing Thorpe park/Alton towers
in a way, I'm sort of glad I'm an old fart at 38. I'm lucky enough to remember Rameses Revenge, Terror Tomb AND bubbleworks!
not been in decades though so that's not to say it's not good now, Vampire is a classic - I'm glad that's still there!!
I thought your fav ride would be rattlesnake, great vid also.
Ye lol
It secretly is don’t tell anyone 😂
Haha@@DigitalDan
Im going tomorrow and im so excited to try all of these
By the way, monkey swinger and tomb blaster are closed, the signs outside say that they’re undergoing health checks, and they’ve been closed since the start of the season the other week, they’re also not listed on the queue times on the app and their name isn’t on the map.
I really want Thorpe Park to bring back brave it backwards because I never got to do it and I wanna do it.
me and my mates got mcdonalds at 7 am yesterday, got on the bus to go home, he said "english or spansih" we didnt get of the bus and edned up at chessington, paid 121 and went in chessington, its so fun
Tiger rock, vampire ride, and scorpian (runaway train) is my favourite
Here's how I rank the ones that I have done:
24. Sea Dragons
23. Jungle Bus
22. Elmer's Flying Jumbos
21. Trawler Trouble
20. Griffin's Galleon
19. Jungle Rangers
18. Treetop Hoppers
17. River Rafts
16. Ostrich Stampede
15. Seastorm
14. Blue Barnacle
13. Monkey Swinger
12. Mamba Strike

8. Kobra
7. Croc Drop
6. Rattlesnake
5. Gruffalo River Ride Adventure
4. Vampire
3. Tiger Rock
2. Mandrill Mayhem
1. Dragon's Fury
Rattlesnake is a very fun ride and worthy of number 6
Vampire is not as good as I remember it as it is forceless in some areas
Gruffalo may have been number 2 if it was still bubbleworks
Mandrill Mayhem is overrated, and the restraints dig into my collar bone, making the ride experience less enjoyable for me
Dragon's Fury was always my favourite, and my recent visits consolidated that for me as the spin is brilliant
Went on vampire it was really good. To be honest I can’t decide what’s my favourite ride it’s between vampire or mandrill mayhem when on Dragons fury, it was really bumpy Bang my head on the car twice
Great list!!
for mamba strike i thought u were gonna say mandrill mayhem but i knew it wasnt right😂😂
Hi Dan, a great Video and thank you for sharing your thoughts. Cheers Peter :-)
Is that a TGF Childish hoodie? Nice!
THE GIRL BURPING MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD😂
My favourite is the Railway Express or something LOL, but I'm also not a huge fan of the Vampire, and on Tiger Rock I say at the front and literally screamed.
My first rollercoaster was here, I think I was 8 or 9... I must admit I did cry because that lifthill for dragons fury scared me to death. Like that noise wtf.
I will always prefer hocus pocus to room on the broom. I remember getting lost in the mirror maze when I was 3, and my dad carried me out
Love the vids dan
Thank you!!
Petition for Dan to do steeplechase all day ↓
I went on monkey swinger yesterday and the jets were back on and running!!
Same I was there day before u
I live in chessington so i go hear so much i LOVE tugsr falls
I've only been once and I arrived at 12pm the place was so busy and the queues so long I only got to go on two decent rides, then it closed. 2 rides in 5 hours.
I’m going there next Monday
vampire was our personal favourite and rattlensnake was so uncomfortable 😂
putting the buffalo ride over kobra and rattlesnake is a crime, also dragon's falls deserves it's position, always been a banger, even though the park is in denial about it's true name, same with black buccaneer
I go chessington 5 times a year and have never got bored
The giant foot in bubble works used to scare me
You should do your top 25 theme parks in Europe
Scorpion Express has been very hard done by 😂
IM AT CHESSINGTON RIGHT NOW😂
Scorpion express left the chat 💀
I love the Jumanji ride
6:56 had me laughing for ages
Yesterday I went on Mandrill Mayhem and it was risky,but it was too quick that I can’t remember it anymore 😢
Been reading all the comments... Going for the first time to chessington probably went when i was really little i don't even remember... Going as part of a school trip. Any recommendations? Ive gotta let go of my fear of high rides and heights. Especially since ive done a few roller coasters but cant keep my eyes open lol😂
I'm going Chessington in Wednesday 26 June in school trip
So definitely a family park for than a thrill ride destination. I’m not sure I would like this more than Legoland because that place had more rides and theming was better. I suppose if I’m ever going to bother going here I better do it while our kids are young.
But I might just not bother. Most of the rides seem to be stuff you get at travelling fun fairs.
Mandrill mayhem is my number 1 all the way!!
