James Stothard Review of Chessington World of Adventure...
2 HOUR QUEUES?!
2 HOUR QUEUES?!
While our kids enjoyed themselves it really wasn't a good experience. Some rides had a two hour queue and there was no way we could make our 5year old queue that long so some of the best rides had to be skipped.
In total we got on maybe 6 rides total so it certainly felt like a very expensive day for what little we managed to get out of it.
The park itself is chaotic and so disorganized it was stressful finding our way around. None of the major rides are even signposted and several members of staff we asked for directions were completely clueless.
DON'T BUY REFILL CUPS
If you enjoyed queueing for 2 hours for a ride then you'll love queueing for a drink. It looked like the queues for refill stations were as long as for some of the rides. People in the queue were moaning they'd been waiting 40minutes for a drink!!!!
ANOTHER VISIT?
So would we be tempted to go again maybe on a quieter day? There's a lot to do at the park and some of the rides we missed look fantastic but having looked at other reviews it seems like this is a regular problem at Chessington. If you're going and can afford the expense of fast track passes do that but I can't recommend Chessington to families without them unless you enjoy waiting around.
