    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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

    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
