Went a few months ago in the Summer. Staff told us that it was a very busy day which explains why the queues where so long. It meant we couldn't go on lots of the rides. I was surprised to see how run down most of the rides and other areas where. Take a look at some photos. While there... more

We visited Chessington on 27th August and it is a wonderful place just the right mix of rides and attractions for all. As my son has Aspereger Syndrome we were allowed to used the back exit for access to rides and the system works by going to your first "Big" ride and having a time restriction were you can only... more

We went on a day when the power failed. Initially we were good-humoured about the problem, but started to get worried when everyone emerged from the ride queues and were milling around waiting for some guidance (and watching others being rescued from the high rides). It was excessively crowded and dangerous. We tried to leave, but were prevented from exiting... more

If you go, go for the big rides but be prepared for long queues. Even for the shortest of rides for smaller children the waits are 30 to 45 minutes...you just get to the stage where you give up and go home. The whole place looks run down. Prices are a rip-off compared to somewhere like Gullivers, which has far... more

This place is a rip off and lets far too many customers in to the point that it can't cope. Queing is for everything and the kiiddies rides were about one hour with the adult type rides being nearly two hours. The best advice i can give is don't go and find somewhere else to spend your hard earned money.... more

We went to Chessington on 19th August 2009. The Safari Skyway and Dragon Falls were out of service and we basically spent the whole day in queues. We waited 75 mins to get on The Vampire, 80 mins to get on Dragon's Fury, 120 mins to get on Tomb Blaster, 40 mins to get on the big wheel which went... more

After arriving at just after 10, I was relieved to find the entry queues short, but realised quickly this was the previous 1,000 'guests' were already in the Dragons Fury line. My boys waited 1 hour and 25 minutes before getting their 3 minute thrill. After the big disappointment of finding Dragon Falls closed, there was another 25 minute queue... more

Travelled from Bracknell today and got off at junction 10 on the M25 and was directed to the south car park. This was about 10.10 am. I say car park is a bit tongue in cheek. Rather a large number of fields down a dusty dirt track. As this was not the main entrance, the arrival left a lot to... more

We have visited Chessington twice in the 6 week holidays and both times were great. We are going back next week also. Out of all the parks this one is our personal favourite, there is something there for all ages and both my 9 year old and 6 year old have such fun. The staff are friendly and there is... more
