I still can't get over us seeing you at Chessington on Sunday. Thank you so much for taking the time to chat with us. My little boy just can't stop talking about meeting you both xx
Great to see you!
Those 3 girls singing were incredible! 10/10 from all 3 of them!
It was a great show!
Love that you have so many parks in Europe and the UK that stay open during the winter. Really love the festive spirit.
We do love seeing these different Christmas events!
Always a fabulous day when a theme park worldwide notification pops up thanks for the impeccable content merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Thank you for joining us!
Great video Shawn and Charlotte, from Chessington World of Adventures for Winter's Tail 2024, keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte. 😀😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fantastic video, as usual! Looks very nice …it’s great that you can still get on Mandrill too! ❤
Thank you!
I had all the gruffalo books for my son. They are fabulous reads, and watching the tv versions are just as good. 😊
It was great meeting you there and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas
Great to see you!
Great Video Shawn And Charlotte. I am going both Chessington And Legoland Windsor for Christmas and after watching this makes me even more excited. Keep up the amazing work 😊.
I love your vids I’ve been a fan for over 6 years now and merry Christmas🎅 Also congrats on your news
I can never overlook the fact Gruffalo replaced Bubbleworks they removed that wonderful dark ride and should have been updated for an IP.
Wow can't believe how far Chessington has come. That was my first ever theme park i went to when i was at school.
It has changed so much at first it was like about 3-4 rides and now look at it hehe its doing well...
Oh those 3 girls singing was brilliant they r wasted lol 😆
Definitely agree with the Julia Donaldson books being a great collection. As a teacher I have used quite a few at school before. My son loves them. We got him the stick man tonie for his tonie box this year and his auntie got him the book.
The Gruffalo ride is one of my favourite. My son picked the little brown mouse plushie up every single time we went through the shop so we ended up buying it! Shops at the end of rides are hard work with a toddler, especially the Gruffalo one and Cebeebies one after night garden boat ride.
That dragon soft play at Chessington is the dirtiest soft play I’ve ever been in though. The gruffalo one at Blackpool is the best! The one at Thomas land is pretty good too.
Thanks for sharing

You guys are goofy but I like you haha you inspired me to become pass holder at my local park.. Thanks for the videos... Congrats on your news too...
Thank you!
Awesome Video Guys 😄😄😄😄😄😄
I saw you there but didn’t want to bother you. My kids loved Santa’s village and the silent disco this year. Great vlog.
I was there for two days after opining for world of jumanji now in the dark won't to go now love you videos wish I was you getting to all the them park love it
It’s such a great ride in the dark!
Just think, it won’t be long until you’ll be reading the story of the gruffalo to the little one 😊 so exciting for you both
So exciting!
😂 I was just catching up on the videos and thought the back of those heads looked familiar! My 10 seconds of fame
Thanks for watching!
Chessington is putting Alton Towers to shame this Christmas
It Was Great Meeting You. Great Video
Great to see you!
Merry Christmas!! 🎄
You too!
Mandrill mayhem looks so cool in the dark
It’s such a great ride and even better at night 🎢
They did used to have an egg in the middle of ostrich stampede but thats since gone missing, very strange
Hopefully it’ll be back!
I think Legoland has the strongest UK ride offering for Christmas but Chessington is a strong contender for best thrilling coaster thats still open, absolutely love Mandrill especially when its walk on! :D
Definitely
Loved going to Chessington in June but the drive was tiring and it took me over 2 hours to get home and I was exhausted! 😊
Hi there I just wanted to say Happy Christmas and a new year.
Have a great Christmas!
I got the Gruffalo for my Nephew when he was born earlier this year and I've got him The Gruffalo's Child for Christmas. He isn't even 1 year old and he loves it!
Aah congratulations best couple on you tube ❤
Thank you!
We went a few weeks back, on a Sunday, open 10am - 3pm, rides were shut for 2 hours due to high winds, I'm glad they've kept Mandrill's Mayhem open for the Christmas events, its a great little ride
It’s great to see Mandrill open for this!
Merry Christmas 🎄☃️
You too 🎄
Great Chessington winters tail vlog for 2024.but it is shame the theme park Doesn't open few more rides like the vampire and croc drop for this event
Good park for young children. Thank for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Hey guys congrats on the news
Thank you!
Looks so much better than towers, no wonder it was heaving. I suspect towers will be completely dead especially post Christmas, I’m just confused as to how management think putting on such a basic and beige event will be a lucrative option.
Great Festive Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte
Thank you!
@ you’re welcome
18:40 Did this ride come from Legoland? It looks as if it did. Great video by the way and have a merry christmas! ❄️🦌
You too! It’s always been at Chessington I believe!
We went on Friday, the food options were terrible, I think it was just the smokehouse that was open, no donuts or fish and chips were open. You also were not allowed to queue near the air-gates on Mandrill Mayhem. The Christmas Village was themed really well by the way and the elves that take you through the christmas trees were fantastic too. The only downer about it was the up-charge for the photo with Santa at the end. £25!!
Thanks for sharing. Hopefully we will see Merlin make some improvements to the food offering for next year!
Merry Christmas guys
You too!
Chessingtons Christmas event is always the best alongside Legoland!
(32:50) They Saved The Fountains
Great Vlog in case you've not looked at the prices for the Santa Christmas Village. From watching someone else's Vlog from the Chessington Christmas Event they was saying it's £10 Monday- Friday and £15 on a weekend
Hi shawn and charlotte loved the video
Thank you!
First + plus wonderful content, you never fail to entertain us!!!
Thank you 🎄
The first song on the Christmas singalong must have come of towers playlist
Maybe so!
I think parks are stuck in this limbo of not wanting to invest loads in an event where the gate figures aren’t that high, but not being able to get a higher gate figure because they aren’t investing enough. It’s a shame because events like Wintertraum have grown HUGELY because the product has always been good and everyone knows about it now.
Definitely
Before I watch this, does it have Wham playing at any point? Amazingly, I'm still in Whamageddon!
I don't listen to radio stations with Christmas music and I work from home. Figured I'd be safe. Then I thought about the UA-cam vloggers I follow. So far so good.
Not that I’m aware of 😂
in response to your comment on UK parks not going full tilt on Xmas - Legoland is the only one that goes bigger, the trees all round the closed parts of the park and lit up in night time and the ride availability is excellent there - its the one that we still go to over Chessington as we are local - Paultons Xmas was good as well and they have the dedicated Xmas walkthrough on the way to Santa which was excellent
Would definitely love to see more investment into the festive season!
wait omg you were there the same day as me I cant believe I missed you 😢
Hope you had a great day!
What date did you go as I'm sure i saw you outside sea life?
This was just before Christmas!
Just seems too be done on the cheep, we try but lack of proper decorations at these parks let it down, more decorative on peoples houses 🎄🎄
Good video 🎉
Thank you!
I am going to Legoland Windsor and Chessington World of Adventures for their christmas event just after christmas and boxing day which i am looking forward too. I am hoping all rides and event offerings are all running apart from santa of course
Have a great time!
Great vlog I’m going to legoland on the 29th for my first visit
Have fun!
👍🎄
Best park in UK for under 90cm in my opinion is LEGOLAND so many that as soon as the little one can sit next to you, even just supporting them to sit, they can ride.
It’s a great park!
We went Saturday it wasn't too busy and we were aloud in the park at 9.30
That’s great!
Chessington World of Adventures for Winter's Chessington love louis shirley
too video as always both 😁
Cheers!
I feel towers and thorpe would be really popular during christmas. Im not 100% sure what thorpe could have open. But surely towers could have wickerman, spinball and even nemesis open + the dark rides and flat rides.
Chessington does christmas right
Alton could really shine at Christmas!
The Americans always go way out for Christmas decorations and stuff
Are you going paltuns park this winter
We won’t be this Christmas
10:00 Who said they could sing 🤣
Hi guys, all the best in the future, especially with the little one when they old enough, yeah mate I was gonna do all sorts of things I till kids came along and everything goes out the window, I dont think you will realise how it changes your life and prospective on every thing you do, riding around on different attractions just won't seem so inportant, I know you have to do it for UA-cam, but it will be different
Thank you! Riding rides will always be important for us!
first!!
Enjoy the vlog 😃
I agree that £15 is far too expensive for 2 adults.
Excuse my ignorance, why is it called Winters Tail instead of Winters Tale ?
I assume because they have a zoo.
@lauraschlueter287 Hmmm yes suppose that makes a bit of sense.
I guess it’s because of the animals!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Yes, I suppose that makes a bit of sense.
nice vlog
Thank you!
All the European parks running their huge coasters in the winter and Shawn praising CWOA for getting a kiddie coaster open. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Mandrill is a great family coaster! I think it’s great to see it open, however the park definitely needs more open for this event!
@ThemeParkWorldwide Oh I'm sure it's great coaster. It's just sad the UK has to be glad that one coaster is open when it's 11 out, while other parks can run their full line up when it's near freezing.
What was your best
Mandrill!
Its such a disappointment with the theme parks that won't allow filming on rides. For those that can't travel for whatever reason, it helps to have others that film on the rides do we can watch. Of course the parks probably don't allow filming so people can plan a trip and come experience for themselves, but some people can't so we rely on social media these days
It’s such a shame that on ride filming isn’t allowed using the correct, secure equipment!
The whole thing just looks embarrassing after Europa 🫣
I hope you take your child on Mandrill Mayhem when you go to Chessington world of adventures next year.
They won’t be tall enough for Mandrill Mayhem next year, but they will be one day 😃
@@ThemeParkWorldwidehiii congrats
They will a few months old 😅
Yes. A baby.
Oh it would definitely doing nemesis when it's a baby
Gruffalo bumpy??? Overreacting.
The boats can easily bump into the side or other boats. Better safe than sorry 😃
