When I heard the bubble works was closing for this, I begged my parents to take me to chessington for my birthday. I did feel like the bubble works was miles better but I loved this ride, and am so glad they kept the fountains
This is terrible compared to bubbleworks.
The smell of the bubbleworks and the music will always be the making of that ride
I haven't seen the Gruffalo in years. I still remember the Christmas special, just before Doctor Who Christmas special.
My dad would call me the grumpalo when I was grumpy lol.
I feel like this ride would get so much love if it was a new ride, but because its replaced bubbleworks, people (including me) are just too upset and keep comparing. You cant beat nostalgia
I used to love the bubble works I went on it so many times shame they changed the name I used to love smelling the sweet fizzy drink scent they should of kept it the same name. You’re right you definitely cannot beat nostalgia.
When I was a naughty kid I used to get out of the boat and dance for the other boats. I must have been a nightmare to staff.
They just wanted to put the Bubbleworks out of its misery
@@braidij7598 I used to be a rides operator and rides host on that, seastorm and vampire
RIP bubble works
Gone but never forgotten
Thanks for the upload.
I am trying so hard to like the rebranding of the ride.... it looks lovely, but throughout i couldn't help but feel like something was missing......
The music was an integral part of the original ride and adds drama and excitement, the "fountain finale" and the music were all key parts to create the crescendo of the ride, the fountain finale is there but as amazing as the deco is, it still lacks that goofy wacky charm the original had and makes this seem less fun like it doesnt poke fun at itself as much as the original did. I couldnt really hear music all the way through, perhaps it is there quietly but the prof burp theme was blasting away the entire time.
Prof Burps was wacky, crazy, goofy, and brilliant. RIP Bubbleworks
The gruffalo ride is ok but bubbleworks was my very first ride at chessington and nothing will ever replace that
I'm going on this on Saturday ❤😮
Thank you for taking me on another awesome day..love watching you and Charlotte having such good times..be safe..I'll be waiting for your next video...❤
My kids love these books and cartoons. I can’t believe they made a ride, that’s awesome!
Nothing was as much fun as the original Professor Bubbleworks! It was unique, incredible waterworks! Whaterver problems Bubbleworks had, Chessington could have found a solution instead of replacing it with this.
That's Merlin for ya. Money over Quality and preservation.
From videos not a fan of the ride but will give it a go when i go to chessington as sometimes video doesnt do a ride justice, bubbleworks will still remain in my heart especially when i watch 360 videos using my VR headset
best dark ride I've ever been on
I've never been on it I've been on bubble worke
Alastair Dixon How many dark rides have you been on?
cant believe the rides 6 years old i remember the opening day like it was last week
Forget this.
Long live Professor Burp and his Bubble Works!
And dont forget ze secret formula! Juice + Gas = POP!!
The iconic fountains have returned.
My mum loved bubbleworks so she was absolutely devestated when I told her it was replaced by this 😂❤
To be honest it’s a lovely ride It’s really sweet even if you are older and thinking its babyish it’s amazing
I miss bubble works
Me to, but I like gruffalo
So do I :/
It’s not the same is it… I miss bubble works I still remember the theme music to this day! Wish i could have taken my little girl on it so she could have seen my childhood ride
Me too
Should make a petition to bring it back!
The smell is so freaking good!
Ik lol. The water smells nice for some reason

@@amber5655 same 😂 I used to cry when I was forced to go on it when I was little and noone understood why XD
I've Might Go On The Gruffalo River Ride Adventure AKA Prof Burp's Bubbleworks At Chessington World Of Adventures One Day. Thanks Theme Park Worldwide Mate. X
Going to chessington this Saturday! Can't wait!
same
I wanna go with you!
This ride broke down once we were on it. The lights were on at the part with the owl and my dad knew something was off.
Thank god they still have the fountains
I LOVED THIS ONE SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
Great positioning of The Camera, On top Of The Lift, Love it i always Wanted my picture taken on that spot, its looks Epic, DO You Agree ThemePark WorldWide
It's in a much better locatipon, I'm sure they will sell more now!
Yeah, And I Love Your Videos Huge Fan :D
Theme Park Worldwide Op
I loved going on this ride
Professor burp bubble works was 1000% better, hope they bring it back after this license contract ends 🤞
Awesome video!
such a bummer they changed it from bubbleworks, that was a much better ride
The original animatronic ride will be missed but I'm glad they turnt it into something kids can enjoy after the gutted mess that was left by Imperial Leather.
The Gruffalo still is popular in the UK and other European regions and children can still enjoy the story.
I must admit, I was expecting to hate this because I remember when the Bubbleworks opened and they were a huge part of my childhood... but this is really well themed. =)
YAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! TGE FOUNTAINS ARE BACK!!!!!!!(:
What I find strange about Bubbleworks' closure is that it was a family attraction (as in all ages could enjoy it) - it honestly surprised me that they changed it to the Gruffallo ride seeing as it mainly caters to younger children. I get that Bubbleworks was aged, but logically you'd want attractions that appeal to the widest audience possible imo
🤷♀
BRING BACK BUBBLE WORKS
Imagine in the middle of the ride a rubber duck pop's out and says back from the dead
That would Be Epic
Boxykitty 1804 THAT WOULD BE AWESOME
Boxykitty 1804 😂😂😂😂
''I lived bitch''
Then the zombie animatronic of professor burp is seen in the background of the ride watching you.
Who else remembers the BubbleWorks?
WHERE ARE THE FOUNTAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the sides ones are there.
THE FOUNTAINS, ARE, NO MORE!!!!!!!! DU DU DU, DU DU DA, DA DA DA, DA DA DA!! DA DA DA!!!
WHERE ARE FOUNTAIN!!!!! GOOD BYE FOUNTAINS!!!!! THE FOUNTAINS ARE NO MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed with other comments, this ride was as dull as dishwater, 7 yr old daughter actually fell asleep during it
Nice video
Looks good seems better than CATCF at Alton that's for sure.
whoguru5 TRUE
YAY! THE FOUNTAINS HAVE BEEN SAVED! WHERE ARE FOUNTAINS! HELLO FOUNTAINS! THE FOUNTAINS CAME TO STAY! DA DA DA DA DA DA!
We are very pleased also!
It's not bad. But also not good enough to warrant Bubbleworks closing imo. I also feel like this ride concept would work better in a classic dark ride system, not with the boats. So basically they should've just built this as a separate dark ride if they really wanted this in the park, is what I say.
Totally. Chessington could really use another decent dark ride. The last thing it needed was swaping its best dark ride for a massively underwhelming one. Perhaps if I were four years old, I'd see the appeal...
@@eurovision50 I grew up with the Gruffalo and I can easily say that Bubbleworks is better by a LONG shot.
7:00 RAWR RAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR
This ride traumatised me as a kid because I was forced to go on it by my mother and also the animatronics scared me. I also cried on this ride when my friends mum took me and my friend on it
My girls would love this!
I went on opening day and was impressed
Our parks need to up their animatronics game! To have it like Disney. Where the characters look so realistic and actually move, so fluidly and life like. Instead of tv screens and projections and statues.
AbsSid Do you think Merlin would put the budget, thought and care that Disney gets into Chessington? CWOA is the only asset Merlin actually own yet it's the asset they care about the least.
My point exactly yes. It doesn't even need to be that extravagant it just has that same stale look and feel e.g. Lighting smoke effects motionless statues and some music. Charlie and the chocolate factory ride at Alton towers was the same except for the elevator bit lol. And that goes for most dark rides or rides like this here. They only indoor ride which wows me every time still to this day is Valhalla at Blackpool it's so unique, effects are great you can't find anywhere else 👍🏻
I Understand your Point, The ride has gone Through Many years without many animatronics, but Its Still a Great, ride. with or with out animatronics, what made me love Bubble works is The Song Track and The fountains, and In the Gruffalo, They Kept The fountains which i love, also The incline, Which Mixes Things Up
AbsSid Yeah I agree. It's 2017 and Merlin thinks that every ride should have screens these days. They need to be taught a lesson by Disney
Master Knife yep. It's really average I guess kids won't mind it's just the experience of being in a boat ride in the dark will probably be enough for them. The only lively bits are the clips played on the tv screens dotted around the ride. Of course merlin probably doesn't even have a fraction of the budget that Disney has for their rides, but if you've seen the frozen ride at Disney land the theming the effects are jaw dropping. Makes it so much more immersive for kids and adults alike..
It looks like a great ride concept with well-designed sets and figures, but it doesn't really work with the ride system. This ride system worked with Bubbleworks because the overall story was extremely simple (factory tour), the gags were very easy to understand quickly, and it didn't really matter which way you were looking so the spinning is fun. The Gruffalo's story is more involved and you have to be focused on certain areas to understand the story, which makes the spinning annoying rather than enjoyable. I'm also not understanding how the fountains impact the ride's story at all.
I've not read the book, but I'm of the belief that you should be able to understand and enjoy a ride experience without knowing the source material (for example, Disney's Splash Mountain is very easy to understand even though most riders haven't seen Song of the South or even know the characters' names). I felt frustrated that I had to decipher the story. I think it would have been easier to understand with a normal dark ride system.
I'm not saying that the Gruffalo is a horrible ride, rather that it really deserved its own ride rather than being stuffed into a pre-existing one. The Bubbleworks layout does not service the Gruffalo well and the Gruffalo does not do the Bubbleworks layout justice.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the ride!
Going here this Friday and I miss the duck theme one I think it’s called bubble works I absolutely loved it.
My brothers loved that ride so much
I love the guffalo ride it is amazing 🤩 and Literally I love ❤️ it
OMG ME AND MY FRIENDS SAW THE SEATS AND THY WERE SOAKING SO WE THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE TONS OF WATER SO FOR THE WHOLE RIDE WE WERE SCREAMING THINKING WE'D GET DRENCHED AND IN THE PICTURE THEY TAKE OF YOU WE WHERE JUST IN A HUDDLE WITH OUT HOODS ON HUDDLED UP IN A BALL 😹 Sorry for grammar cba to fix it.
i love this comment so much
It looks good, not 100 percent sure about it. The start seems a little sparsely themed but the end looks good and it's great the fountains are still there. I think it's better than the Imperial Leather bubble works but maybe not as good as the original Professor Burps bubble works.
James G True About The Beginning But I Think It's Meant To Be Like Travelling Into The Book, That's Why The Theming In The Station Is 2D
I went there yesterday. I screamed..
Lets wish that bubbleworks would return
I'm going down to Thorpe and Chessington this weekend both for the first time also goin to the alton towers fan meet up
as a kid i thougth this movie was a dream i had
Don’t think Disneyworld has anything to worry about 🤣🤣🤣
Disney: *sees Bubbleworks*
Disney: PANIC
Disney: *sees The Gruffalo River Ride*
Disney: KALM
It's been around a decade since I went on the original bubbleworks and it sucks really hard finding out recently it closed down 4 years ago. At least it still has some things that bubbleworks had like the fountains
It feels so nice
0:53 I think the book part. they could have done something like paint the floor or add something like a book shelf on the right. (As they are going onto a book)
1:05 my personal opinion is that they got a bit to lazy to add £25 so they can paint some walls in this shot. They could have spent £100 pounds more and fully flesh this ride out.
5:13 I think they should have filled the ground a bit more round the trees so it doesn’t seem like there floating.
been there, amazing! Love it!
In my opinion, Chessington should’ve kept the iconic Bubbleworks attraction and use The Gruffalo for a new dark within a different area of the park.
Wow I will go there!
when was the gruffalo ride built there
Did you go on the original?
Many times!
All rides are mostly closed now
At the moment until next month!
The voice of the Gruffalo was the late and great Robbie Coltrane from Harry potter as Rubius Hagrid, keeper of keys, grounds and teacher of magical creatures at hogwarts.
The filming is eeeelementary at best... really doesn't portray the thrills and excitement of this, in my opinion, the best ride on the planet. Peace.
Thanks!
That was awesome! I'd rather go there!
Wait it isnt bubbleworks anymore??!
Arabella Baker Correct 😩😩😩
BubbleWorks has gone 1990-2016(90-16)
An old animatronic pops out
“ I lived “
3:28 Silly old Snake Gruffaloooooooooooh
bring back bubble works 😔😔😔
Lol I Romberg waiting 2hours for this. -.-
I don't think this ride is as good as the bubbleworks was i definately won't be going to chessington anymore because you got rid of the bubbleworks which is one of the most popular rides they had #bringbackbubbleworks
Shaun, what day did you go to Chessington because I went Sunday???
It was Monday
Why did this replace Bubbleworks
The park wanted to bring in a new ride and this is where it was decided to go!
Theme Park Worldwide If they wanted a new ride why not think of something original? Why slap an IP on it and shove rip off merchandise in people's faces?
Because of its age
i thought it looked pretty good for a children's themed dark ride - but evidently lots of people really hate it from reading the comments.
Zeuxain Actually it replaced the worst re-theme to a classic ride ever.
Will you be doing a full review of the ride?
Our vlog will be online in the next few days
R.I.P bubble works you will be missed
That’s good and amazing the gruffalo river
Ah, so this is what Bubbleworks turned into. Not sure how I missed that news because I love the Gruffalo story.
Me to
33455
It would be good if you had a 360 camera so we can look around the rides
We are looking in this in the future
So theme park worldwide do u like the new ride 😉
It's very well themed and the smells are nice inside! Still prefer Bubbleworks but this is a nice replacement still
Could have done so much more with this ride. So many blank spots within the ride and a bit of fake grass could have gone a long way on this ride.
Looks pretty good actually. Vids never quite do dark rides justice though
What the heck are you doing here? XD
Agreed!
