My partner and I went to chessington twice in 3 weeks and I have to say both times we were impressed with all the covid safety measures. They are quick and very friendly. The rides were awesome sure the queue times could take an 1 hour but we enjoyed both our days out throughly. The aquarium was small but I still enjoyed. Didn't get to see the animals as not enough time in the day to do everything.

Unfortunately, no matter how well chessington tried to implement social distancing unfortunately some people just wouldn't especially in queues. Even with the yellow paw prints to show 2 metre rule. We constantly had people breathing down our necks which is not an exaggeration and kids not being controlled and trying to push past us in the line. Which also leads me on the main topic of why I'm not giving 5 stars. As much as chessington do do a great great job with everything, I really wish they would clamp down on queue jumpers more, especially with the vampire. With queues times reaching over 100mins it's really frustrating for people in the queue to watch people sneak in or have someone who is further along the queue hold spaces for people.

We had 2 incidents with the vampire of queue jumping on our 2nd trip. The 1st one was really bad as the queue was 95 mins long and this dad and 2 girls decided that they would join the mum who was near the front of the queue so everyone grumbled but didn't say anything. The queue moved for a bit then stopped for 20mins. Then over the tannoy it was reported that the queue jumpers had been told on and that there had been an incident that had taken the vampire staff 20mins to remove them so there was justice there which was good.

However when we went for another go for the vampire later on there was another incident with queue jumping which happened right infront of us. So I took a stand and said no it's queue jumping and that the last people had tried got thrown off the ride which unfortunately led to the man getting very aggressive with my partner and I. To quote a couple things " you won't see next week boy" "bunch of kids with white privilege" etc etc stuff such us this for a whole 90mins which eventually brought my partner to tears. And also he wasn't social distancing on purpose and kept coming right up close and saying all these things to me. I really wish they had someone checking the queues so incidents like this don't happen again as it put a downer on the whole day. Or even if staff are stretched could chessington please put in the signs that they have for tiger rock and dragons fury about the definition of queue jumping as at least we would of been able to cite it to the aggressive man.

Overall chessington is a great place for a day out unfortunately some people just have to spoil it for the rest of us.
