Advantages: It put me off going ever again!

Disadvantages: Queues, Rides are all old, broken down rides, expensive food, expensive tickets!

Get rid of this theme park please! It is so old. The rides are old and depressing.

I have been going to 'Chesington World of Adventures' for 10 years and last year in September was my last. Why do I hate this Theme Park so much?:
. The rides are Old, slow, non-thrilling, and always brake down, especially Vampire ride.
. The general upkeep of the park is poor, the park is dirty, tacky, litter everywhere, anything like railings are dirty and if you touch them you will get black fingers!
. One car park welcomes you to park on a dirty muddy field and if you go on a rainy day your car will be stuck, you will have to wait an hour before your car is towed out.
. The park does not live up to its name, there are no adventures and there is not much of a world theme!
. The queues are sooooo long! You can wait almost 3 hours for one ride, then by the time you get on, your legs are tired, you don’t actually feel like going on the ride, and when you have been on the ride it was so boring and not very good. So most of the time you will probably get on 4 rides in one day.
. DO NOT GO ON A SO CALLED THEME NIGHT, such as Fright Night! The queues are doubly long, you can barley move. You get annoying characters (people dressed up), the prices of dodgy souvenirs are so high! Dodgy meaning they only last ‘til the next week and they are poor imitations of the real products, such as the scream mask!
. Ride themes such as the one in "Professor burps bubble works" is so appalling, the characters are falling apart, they don't move so there seems no point!
. I may have mentioned this but the price of the entrance tickets are ridiculous! £19.99 for 1 Adult, £15 for a child! Well what a rip off for a really poor day. Compare that with Alton Towers (The best in Britain) £19 Adult but you actually get on decent rides, less queues, and more to choose from!
. Watch out for Thieving B@$T@RD$!! They get stall/souv
enirs products and steal your belongings SO BEWARE!!

I cannot believe that staff do not realise this.
I think in General the place is a dump and if you go to America Disney World you will definitely not want to go back to CWOA! Go to Alton Towers or Blackpool!

The last few years Chessington has been a dump, but now they seem to be making a real effort to improve.
