Vampire at chessington world of adventures, back in the day before Vekoma and the "modernisation" this ride was first class with an amazing queue and station. From this
To this
How the park runs it drives me mad!
My guide to fix vampire
1.Rip out the queue gates get ones that actually line up with the trains.
2.Put back the coffins between the gates.
3.Either fix the audio system or instal a more modern one!
4.Black out all the natural light coming into the station as much as possible.
5.Come up with a better ways to integrate and handle requirements of exit pass holders. Not blocking of the back two rows even if there are no exit pass holders.
6.Get rid of the stupid new queue entrance and use the amazing original one!
7.Put the queue back to the 90's layout and style.
8.Keep up with maintenance on the theme!
9.Paint anything that was put in post 1990's I'm talking about the stupid electrical cables that are still sticking out like a saw thumb
10.Theme the end brake run the only point not on the ride thats not themed
11.Paint the tunnel black. Paint everything somethings have not been touched in 25 years!!!
12.Work with who ever needs be to get the third train back and reduce the line to less than 4 hours on peek days even if it means putting more staff on the ride to dispatch the trains safer and quicker.
13.Make the lockers free and then enforce there use. $20/$30 dollars for a locker!!!!
14. Give the staff costumes.
15.Update the anmatronics so you can't hear the organ player over the train moving out of the station!
Now my wish list which will never happen...
New trains aka the vekoma trains with just the lap bars.
Upgrade to ride control including new magnetic brakes, better kicker wheels and some software changes to get the trains into the station faster!
