£33 to get in and on every corner is some git trying to make you pay £2 or more to throw a ball into a basket to win a stuffed toy!

Lol he's exaggerating a tad. And that's part of the park, so I don't really see how it's 'pikey'. It's a Theme Park, you even have stalls like that in Universal Studios. I know cause I won a toy :D

It's the pikey teenagers who put me off. Though despite that Thorpe Park has some good rides, and so long as the queues aren't too long, you can have a good day there.

Chessington is more of a rip-off, but then that one is for little kids.

When was the last time you went? They've made it the family park for little children. Rameses Revenge, for example, has loads of programmes it can run on, but they have now limited them because some of the programmes are too scary for little children.

I wouldn't pay for an adult ticket to go to Chessington. I'd only go if it was free and I couldn't go to Thorpe Park or Alton Towers. If you have young kids though, thye'd love it. Still, isnot a patch on American theme parks like Disney World

Last went a month or two ago. The only thing which upset me was the rebranding of Professor Burps, I loved that ride.

I really enjoyed the 'new' Vampire (Yeah it was that long since I had been!) because it was enjoyable not sick inducing.

Alton Towers of course has far more scary rides, Chessington was a silly fun day out for me.

Yeah I was disappointed about Professor Burp's too. Rubber Ducks isn't much of a theme. I liked the fizzy drink theme. Maybe I'm not so big on Chessie cause I worked there.
