The Vampire - Strikes Back!
Probably the most well known ride at Chessington, the Vampire is still a UK first
roller coaster, and still an excellent roller coaster at that.
With unique features, like two lift hills, and floorless trains, Vampire takes you
around 2 + minutes of track swinging you from side to side, above and below
the trees. The ride has now been made safe for little adventurers, with a 1.1
metre height limit, for the height, could be one of the more intense coasters
around!
Yes the ride has lost a little magic, with track looking wore, the queue line has
had some attention in 2009, but the tunnel no more than a dip in the ground,
the Vampire is still an excellent ride. Even with the station toned down a little,
its still considered one of the best themed stations in the UK. Still has a lot to
offer the Vampire, and is higher regarded as Chessington's best ride, and will
probably stay there for years to come.
