Yesterday we took a trip to Chessington. I’ve been before, a few years ago, but it seems to have expanded and developed since then. The first area we entered into was Land of the Dragons, which has the most amazing ride, Dragon’s Fury. The cars on this one actually spin round, so you never know if you’re going to go backwards, front-ways, and side-ways! There was no way in this world I would have gotten on it, but it was great to watch!
The girls enjoyed the Flying Jumbos, Tiny Truckers, Toadie Cars, and the Carousel, all found in ToyTown. Beth loved the Runaway Train, and Amy was quite upset that I wouldn’t let her have a go! Unfortunately I couldn’t persuade Beth to ride The Vampire.. but given a couple of years, I think she’ll give in!
My other favourite ride to watch is Rameses Revenge.. although I can’t understand why people would want to put themselves through that! LOL
Of course, the nice thing about Chessington is that it’s not all about the rides. We enjoyed seeing the big cats and the gorillas, and the new Sealife Aquarium is a great addition.
All in all, a great day out.. but a very tiring one! 
Sounds like a lovely day out! And the weather was kind to you as well.
Glad you all had a fun day out. Like Nici said, the weather looks as if it were perfect. Finally getting some spring?
We’re back at winter temps…frost on the dogwood blossoms this morning, I’m afraid.
Sounds fun. I noted that you “watched” the rides…lol. YOu and me, hon, we really ARE soul sisters. We’re headed to a theme park this Saturday with the boys ( SPring Break here ) and I’ll be doing a LOT of watching!
I would have joined you in the watching - I’m not one for rides, I’m afraid.
I don’t like going upsidedown or very fast. I think the rides for the very smallest kiddies are about as much excitement as I could possibly stand if I were to go on rides myself - LOL!
I don’t mind a few rides, especially the more simple rollercoasters. I would have gone on the Vampire ride if Beth had been up for it.
Katherine, enjoy your day on Sat, SS!
Cindy, the weather is still very changeable - I want it to settle down!
