I grew up with "Wise dragons say keep arms and legs inside the boat at all times" How dare they change this ride. Also grew up with Bubble Works. Chessington... You were my childhood
i love the renovated design of this ride!!! it looks much more sleek and less outdated. however, with an updated ride brings bigger crowds and i preferred when this was a pretty unknown section of the park. i would always go in this 5 times in a row, without having to queue no longer than 2 minutes. now, you have to wait an hour tops for one of the most chilled flume rides i've ever ridden.
The drop looks smaller ... obviously it’s the same ride so it’s not lol... think they could have painted the carriages to make it look fresh but I do love a waterchute x
Wow this ride has been revamped a lot considering this ride opened in 1987 But used to love this right once but now I can’t because I’m scared of heights I used to go on dragon river with my school we never went through a cave though once we went down the waterfall and their was no bridge either Chessingtoon in my opinion has to be one of the best ever theme parks also it’s local too me as well. It must not of been busy that day as not many on the ride.
The tunnel before the big lift hill is so ugly. I wish the track at the top of the lift hill was resting on a giant rock. The rest is done pretty well.
Yeah the top section needs theming, it looks rubbish. No-one wants to see the gloomy British sky, it'd be nice even if they just put some foliage up there.
can a 14-year-old girl go on this ride I'm just wondering because on the 9th of May we're going with our school and Dom just wondering if me and my friend can go on there because we are soon going to go in May and I'm going to get this back in a couple minutes
Kyle Todd no all of them stopped and there was an announcement and there was a special needs or disabled person in front of us who was having a fit and wouldn’t get off the boat cuz they were actually on the conveyor belt and we were just in front of it but the one behind us banged into us and we got whiplash
Kyle Todd ah I see you’ve been to Thorpe park on your vlog I went there 4 times in two weeks in Easter what’s your favourite ride mines saw and samurai so sad swarm doesn’t go backwards anymore I never got to ride it back but apparently the different queue was weird and too frustrating but I love the old town
I was at chessington yesterday and we went to ride tiger rock but people were stuck due to lack of water at the top of the massive drop. But trust me don't let that stop u from riding it/it is a great roller coaster water slide thing
Hello, This ride looks very interesting, me and my family were going to go this weekend, but then realised it would be packed as it had just opened. Also just wondering has anyone been to Jurassic Park if so please reply and tell me your reviews. Only recently been to Thorpe Park and enjoyed it a lot! Although wasn't that many rides for children, Although Angry Bird land and many more are suitable for under 1.5. Hopefully you believe my review and check out Thorpe Park yourself, Thank you for this video, that is showing me the new ride at Chessington Park, I will definitely visit this ride before the end of the month. xx
Abi Powell yes, I am. And for Thorpe park, I have been there but I haven't been there to any rides. But it was a fun experience! I also went to Jurassic Park, I looked at animals and sure a great time to spend with family.
I personally think this is alot better. although the "forbidden east" theming was a great idea, it wasn't well executed. I also think that the tigers are lovely it's really fun to watch them. but the ride is pretty much the same. the station is also alot better (the audio in the station is gorgeous and they've still kept that asian vibe)
I went on this with my mom dad and cousin we went on vampire , Monkey swings ( I got drenched ) I saw no tigers in the cage when I went on this but It was amazing!
THAT THING DIDN'T EVEN HAVE BLOODY SEATBELTS I WAS SO SCARED WHEN IT CAME TO THE BIG DROP I WAS ONLY 11 AND I WAS SO LIGHT I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA FALL ON OVER
I went on this today the drop at the end was so fun but scary i went on buckaneer before it and it was so scary i thought i was going to fall out it went so high😂 Edit:i forgot to say its faster then it looks
Bro On this ride today (I wasnt on it) Some little boy wouldn't get off the ride so they had to do an emergency evacuation thingie to get people off RIP i also nearly broke my finger because i was on the kobra ride at 1000000x speed i couldn't see because my hair was in my face because it was down and my dads hat fell of luckily still on the ride and he squeezed my hand soooo hard i nearly broke my pinky i was like OW
The level of noise, the screaming etc. The tigers should NOT be in that environment. I was shocked to see this yesterday and ashamed that I bought my son a Merlin pass.

I grew up with "Wise dragons say keep arms and legs inside the boat at all times"
How dare they change this ride.
Also grew up with Bubble Works.
Chessington... You were my childhood
SAME OMG I WAS CRYINGGGGGGGG
LxstFixna omgggggg bubbleworks was just 👌 so sad it became gruffalo
hey atleast they havent changed vampire
Goodbye Dragon Falls and Bubbleworks. Sleep tight in theme park heaven
Dragons falls
I thought the dragon was better, it was a massive icon.
And I remember the final drop seeming bigger than it looks on camera
Vaga Bond Same the drop was more bigger
Trust me, its still a big drop, the camera makes it look smaller. I went there two days ago, it was my first log flume 😂😂
Vaga Bond I remember asking them how high the biggest one was and they were like “A LITTLE bit higher than the small one.”
Ikr same and that acc made me scream not this one
Was literally thinking the same thing! Have they changed the length of the drop? Or isit just the look on the camera?
i love the renovated design of this ride!!! it looks much more sleek and less outdated. however, with an updated ride brings bigger crowds and i preferred when this was a pretty unknown section of the park. i would always go in this 5 times in a row, without having to queue no longer than 2 minutes. now, you have to wait an hour tops for one of the most chilled flume rides i've ever ridden.
In my opinion,i think this is possibly the happiest atmosphere ever.
I have been on this ride, and BOY, this was fun, it was the first log flume-like water ride i had been on and i loved it, fantastic.
That's awesome!
Well, that's a huge improvement. It's been looking very tired for over a decade now! I'm happy they worked on the station too.
This looks awesome!
I’m going there tomorrow, I’m so excited!!
The drop looks smaller ... obviously it’s the same ride so it’s not lol... think they could have painted the carriages to make it look fresh but I do love a waterchute x
jemma hammond i thought it looked smaller too! Though could be im just bigger now. Not been on it for over 15 years!
It does look smaller but maybe it looks that way because of the arch thing :)
it wasn't that big in the first place
It's feels bigger when you're going down it!
I wouldn't say they've improved the area. In my opinion it looks literally the same as what it was before they started work on it...
hi
My dad kept rocking the boat on this and I cried
Bubble works and this ride were my favourites at Chessington
Prefer the old one dragons falls
Keira James dragon falls was better
Keira James 😫
On the boats I felt like I was gonna fall out. It was fricking scary.
the ride is the exact same with better theming lmao???
I prefer dragon falls and the bubble works
I remember when I went on this... The memories XD
Wow this ride has been revamped a lot considering this ride opened in 1987 But used to love this right once but now I can’t because I’m scared of heights I used to go on dragon river with my school we never went through a cave though once we went down the waterfall and their was no bridge either Chessingtoon in my opinion has to be one of the best ever theme parks also it’s local too me as well. It must not of been busy that day as not many on the ride.
Bit worried that they'd ruin Dragon Falls but I like this retheme
I love the new cave THEY FINALLY UPDATED IT!
I’m going there tomorrow
A surprisingly great re-theme
Me and my school went on it its so much fun! And other rides to!
Omg I'm going to Chessington soon and I was DEVISTATED that it was closed and now I know it's back up and running!!!!!!
How'd you get on it? It was opened yesterday (5th May)!
We attended the media preview last week. Weather was a lot beter this weekend though!
They changed bubble works now this? cant wait to go here in the summer tho
The tunnel before the big lift hill is so ugly. I wish the track at the top of the lift hill was resting on a giant rock. The rest is done pretty well.
Which one? the one where the dragon use to be or the one that looks like a plastic tube? :/
Aaron Roberts the plastic tube
Yeah the top section needs theming, it looks rubbish. No-one wants to see the gloomy British sky, it'd be nice even if they just put some foliage up there.
I went here the other week and I LOVED IY
I love this ride so much
can a 14-year-old girl go on this ride I'm just wondering because on the 9th of May we're going with our school and Dom just wondering if me and my friend can go on there because we are soon going to go in May and I'm going to get this back in a couple minutes
What happens to the boat at night
Looks good
I got stuck on the conveyor belt right before the first drop
they stop that in order to keep the space between the boats
Kyle Todd no all of them stopped and there was an announcement and there was a special needs or disabled person in front of us who was having a fit and wouldn’t get off the boat cuz they were actually on the conveyor belt and we were just in front of it but the one behind us banged into us and we got whiplash
Kyle Todd ah I see you’ve been to Thorpe park on your vlog I went there 4 times in two weeks in Easter what’s your favourite ride mines saw and samurai so sad swarm doesn’t go backwards anymore I never got to ride it back but apparently the different queue was weird and too frustrating but I love the old town
Keira James Same it broke down for like 2 hours I thought I was gonna die. I was sad when I didn’t die and they got it working again
Im going to chessington in 3 hours 🤣🤣
I’m going tomorrow 👌😂
iiBrxxke Parish going in like 11-12 hours
lol I’m at Chessington rn
@@f4y3_d0ws4 non a,
OMG THAT IS AMAZING
Is it just me or does it look excatly the same?
You're not alone.
Diss track Davis yep
Diss track Davis was it meant to be bigger?
Willow Harpy Im not sure but it just looks kinda unfinished and Similar to Dragon falls here!
Diss track Davis yeah i thought their was going to be so much more but I think that the theming is weaker than dragons falls!
I went to chesington yesterday I went to tiger rock but not the ride because there was electric fallty so I only sore the Tigers
I was at chessington yesterday and we went to ride tiger rock but people were stuck due to lack of water at the top of the massive drop. But trust me don't let that stop u from riding it/it is a great roller coaster water slide thing
You mean log flume?
Hello, This ride looks very interesting, me and my family were going to go this weekend, but then realised it would be packed as it had just opened.

Abi Powell it was really good I have went there before, we were presented with animals to look at and so much more things.
+Melanie's Planet Thank you x any rides for children under the age of 7? Me and my family are looking to go x
Abi Powell well, vampire ride, rattlesnake, it was sure fun but if you want to you can experience more!
+Melanie's Planet Thanks are you talking about Chesington as I have been there before
Abi Powell yes, I am. And for Thorpe park, I have been there but I haven't been there to any rides. But it was a fun experience! I also went to Jurassic Park, I looked at animals and sure a great time to spend with family.
I went on there on Monday
Was it wet , it looks so faster
Just the right amount of spray, we thought.
kkrispy2009 P I like your profile picture
Oliver Linklater . A whovain
kkrispy2009 P Yup..
kkrispy2009 P Omll it was fast I went on it yesterday and the last fall omll its so scary ;-;
I actually put my arms out and touched the water lel
Propa hard
OoF rebel without a cause😎😎😎
You ain’t a wise dragon
Lol my teaching assistant acc filmed and I'm surprised he didn't drop his phone
I just came back from Chessington 😂😂😂
Such A Thrilling Ride Where You Get Wet
YASSSSSSS ITS AMAZING
Been on that ride it's so fun
Why do they still have the Buddha Statue?!
Do you know how tall you have to be
Tiger Rock has a minimum height restriction of 1.2m, but children shorter than 1.3m must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 16.
Jelly _pudding34 1.2m
Why not keep the old theme?
Josh Brown To add a tiger enclosure, I guess.
TBH I prefer Dragons Falls. The new theme has just made it look like nothing special.
Put some foliage on top of the Tomb Blaster roof or theme it in some way and it'd be a lot better!
It's was amazing I went today I love that place
Did you single ride this?
I went on it yesterday I was so scared and my friend was crying
I loved it I have already done it.
Do you know what the plans are with that Buddha statue thing?
No further plans as far as we are aware.
Tigers are found in Buddhist countries, so it still fits in.
This ride was fast that day lol
Vintage Car Ride relocated to Land of the Tiger
To be honest the best log flume from merlin is by far tidal wave because when they say tidal wave they AINT LYING
With a name like Thorpe Park Nerd I'd expect you to know Tidal Wave isn't a log flume XD
went today amazing
OMG, dragon falls is gone? That just ruined my evening! I’m so sad 😞 😢 😔
It’s open when
8/5
Wow the final drop is barely a drop.
Beanoland rethemed to Zahramay Falls
I prefer dragon fall really just looks like they stuck a big tiger head in at the drop.
Brite Bomber123 when did you last go? I’m going soon
Mickey Mouse oh sorry! I don’t go to chessington anymore! I go to Thorpe park.
That’s cool!!
Going there with my friend for my birthday in July!
Have fun!!
The drop seems so much bigger in real life
I god....thats the only thing im scared about.
Lumoise Street rethemed to Land of the Tiger
This is my favourite
This is a good video
I personally think this is alot better. although the "forbidden east" theming was a great idea, it wasn't well executed.
I also think that the tigers are lovely it's really fun to watch them. but the ride is pretty much the same.
the station is also alot better (the audio in the station is gorgeous and they've still kept that asian vibe)
Very nice
Are these new boats or are they the same as before ?
We understand that they're the same boats, although they have received some minor touch-ups.
TowersTimes & SouthParks Media ok thanks 🖒
I went on tiger rock it’s so fun
Mannn I wish Bubble works was still here
UNKNOWN_BISH_ELLIE21 It’s just been repainted to be the gruffalo ride I think
I went recently and it seemed the same
Tom Fraser yeah I know I went there a couple days ago but bubble works is still better in my opinion
I went on this like 2 years ago when I was nine
*and I was the person in the front seat*
I went on this with my mom dad and cousin we went on vampire , Monkey swings ( I got drenched ) I saw no tigers in the cage when I went on this but It was amazing!
I remember I put my best friend at the front and he got soaked and I didn’t 😂
I went on it so good fun and thrilling I also leaned on the people with me and held the bars at the bottom on drops
Freddy's Farmyard rethemed to Lumoise Street
SO THAT SUCKED, GOOD VIDEO THOUGH
Who remembers when it was themed to dragon falls? Also they could have done a bit more theming, the ride looks very plain...
We queued for this ride then as soon as we got on a boat, the ride broke down so we didn’t get to go on it 💀
I’ve been on it it so fun
i am going to chessington today YEEt
Me and my family were about to go on this ride then we had to get off because there was a breakdown
THAT THING DIDN'T EVEN HAVE BLOODY SEATBELTS I WAS SO SCARED WHEN IT CAME TO THE BIG DROP I WAS ONLY 11 AND I WAS SO LIGHT I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA FALL ON OVER
I nearly died there. :(
It’s a shame it doesn’t have the elephant squirting you at the end!
MrGreatplum no but there are some manually operated squirters
They’re not that powerful though
I went on this today the drop at the end was so fun but scary i went on buckaneer before it and it was so scary i thought i was going to fall out it went so high😂
Edit:i forgot to say its faster then it looks
Omg they're at the same one as mine
A I’ve been on it too it was lit
Bro On this ride today (I wasnt on it) Some little boy wouldn't get off the ride so they had to do an emergency evacuation thingie to get people off
RIP i also nearly broke my finger because i was on the kobra ride at 1000000x speed i couldn't see because my hair was in my face because it was down and my dads hat fell of luckily still on the ride and he squeezed my hand soooo hard i nearly broke my pinky i was like OW
I went on this today and I thought dragon falls was way better
So it’s basically dragons falls
Who else just came here to try and see how big the drop is?
Was shut the last two times i went to the park
am i the only one who hated it? i went on yesterday?
Is that it?!! How dull.
I miss Squirty the elephant though.
Sesame Street rethemed to Beanoland
Land of the Tiger rethemed to Sesame Street
Scary
I'm gonna miss the dragon...
Us too!
Yep
Honestly it looks a bit tacky in places
This is dragon falls ... hardly new
The level of noise, the screaming etc. The tigers should NOT be in that environment. I was shocked to see this yesterday and ashamed that I bought my son a Merlin pass.
