    If they have to remove any of the trees to replace Vampire, I'd rather they just go for a retrack. The sensation you get while flying through the trees is something that takes 30 years to perfect.

    "Leave the queue line! Leave the queue line!!" 😂😂😂 Brilliant.
    Made me a bit sad to see Gruffalo and Tomb Blaster in that state. Tomb blaster and Bubbleworks, as it was, were some of my favourites as a kid. Always remember that bubbleworks smell.

    Do you remember when monkey swingers used to be Beano land! Loved beano land when I was a kid! So colourful! I remember the hair dryers you pressed them and water came out and the other one literally pressing that would literally put the shower on so you were soaked😂 literally got my family drenched getting them to press the buttons 😂! That mini car that goes around and around was in Beano land too. Amazing how much the parks changed since I was a kid

    Wish they would re paint the track of vampire, maybe purple like the vampire poster :) also Tomb Blaster is DESPERATE for a refurb! It deserves to be maintained as that was there when I was a child. Such a shame there leaving it to rot when all winter they could have been fixing up everything ;( that ball ontop hasn’t come down in years!! It’s like there removing everything in that ride and not bothering to replace and fix it. Tiger rock looks like they need to paint it up the actual ride. Lots of moss on the side of the walls where the boats go around. Maybe even the tiger should be painted? The inside looks brilliant but outside looks like it needs repainting

    While there are clearly some operational and maintenance issues I really do feel like the signs are starting to appear that the Merlin parks are heading for a brighter future in a few years 🤞The amount of investment going on at once at all of their UK parks, the creativity that they seem to have when they get things right and the quality of some of the improvements they have managed to do speaks to a company that's starting to find its way at last! Believe there was an event last year someone uploaded to UA-cam where John Wardley spoke about this and basically said "thank you for sticking with Merlin for the last few years, they really are starting to understand their parks and what they can do with them"
    Just hope this new project is the start of some much needed love for my beloved Thorpe Park 🤞

    An amazing vlog! By the way, I LOVE CHESSINGTON!!:) you make you vlogs amazing! I can see all the LOVE and CARE put into them! I would say, best vlogger:). As you vlog all your theme park trips amazing, I have a suggestion, how about you visit a theme park somewhere in Africa (if you have not already)? Its my topic in school (all about Africa) and I found really intresting when I did some research into it. Some suggestions are Gold Reef City Theme Park, in South Africa (Johannesburg) gots lots of cool rides/rollercosters like Anaconda and Golden Loop.🎢 Another on is Valley of Waves in Sun City, South Africa (I know it is a waterpark, but it seem very cool!) got LOTS of cool waterslides🌊for trills like The Viper, Tarantula and Ovango. As there are lots of theme parks in South Africa, mabey you could do some type of tour around there for all the theme parks/water parks and mabey some sightseeing for the Sandbrook Adventures channel!I don't know, but this was an idea I got as a SUPER FAN of the channel. Would be quite cool if you did this like your Singapore, Malaysia and Australia trip! Sorry this is so long, I just wanted to get my idea out!!:D- from your probs biggest fan, zoya:)

    Fun fact:
    Unlicensed premises in the UK do not have to legally supply free drinking water. So, provided they are unlicensed, this includes sports stadiums, leisure centres, swimming pools, health clubs, tourists attractions, theme parks, theatres, cinemas and beauty salons.
    All licensed premises in England and Wales are required by law to provide “free drinking water” to their customers upon request.

    Another good vlog, really enjoyed and always look forward again for more. Agreed with Tomb Blaster, could do with scrapping the guns, targets and maybe an refurbishment. Especially since Curse at Alton Manor as that does look & sound epic 100%. Would love to see an Egyptian themed ghost train type mummy ride created? With massive immersive theming inside the ride with darkness, aswell loads of lighting, action and more? Would be epic. Good to see Land of Jumanji progress especially fences down, more views of land itself involving coaster. Hoping we get large & tall plants hiding land from outside aswell tall plants inside hiding the outside, making it really immersive. Would be epic especially the Sign which appears out of nowhere along with the inversion. Still have issue with the same throughput thoughts, still think a second train is needed along with a second station maybe via transfer tracks? Maybe something they might add in future? Depending on queues, popularity and more? But well see? Think Vampire is 100% going to be get refurbished, its too much a good and favourite coaster at the park to be removed, so think it will be repainted, trains replaced with new and maybe a theme update? Would like to see maybe a preshow on it? Make ride more immersive before entering onboard? Doubt it will happen, but nice video, really enjoyed and look forward to seeing more videos in future. 😀👍

    Sounds like the park needs to hire a guy who's only job it is is to repair ride effects. Hah I wish I had a nice smaller park like this near me. Being in Orlando it's always just so busy except maybe Seaworld and Busch Gardens sometimes. I really like the Zoo Faria ride. Reminds me of Rhino Rally from Busch Gardens. One of my most missed rides. The Jumanji ride looks good. If a little slow. Guess it's a family thrill coaster though.

    Toom Blaster really needs to be re vamped, the red laser sights all over from peoples guns really takes away from the ride imo. Also why dont they have like stories that cross over rides, like the toom could have been where the vampire is releaced from. The gruffalo ride should be like you as a vampire hunter going into a small town and entering a castel to kill a vampire then the coaster could be the final part of the story. Something like that would be so cool, cross ride stories would be epic

    I am a solo rider for the most part and am aware rapid rapids type rides do not allow solo riders for safety. So I would like to know if this is the case with Gruffolo ride ? This maybe be a stupid question as it doesn’t appear to be a rapids ride but just want to make sure
