I have changed the section on Rodeo. I can't remember from my last visit, but it is not advertised on the map (3mb PDF), and various web forums about the park suggest that it is still there but not operating this season. Can anyone shed more light on this? Jackqu7 19:18, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
It turned out to be crap, well remember what they did to that log flume at alton towers. The newly found Imperial Leather Bubbleworks has been given very poor reviews by enthusiasts , what it should get.SO if you are going to be riding it soon prepare for ducks , ducks and mmmmm.. ducks !.

Currently Chessington Zoo redirects to this article, but there is no information on the history of the original zoo. Any experts want to fill this omission? Mtford 20:58, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I have tried to add more about the Zoo's history before, but it ends up being removed by someone. I have info and pictures on the history of Chessington Zoo 1931-1987 on my site http://www.chessingtonzoo.weebly.com/ if anyone who knows what there doing on Wikipedia, wants to add the info of the Zoo's past. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.193.47.13 ( talk) 23:10, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, BenBowser and I are trying to get an expert opinion on which format for the areas section to use; I'm going to post the non-bullet point one because it's most basic, but that doesn't mean best - see User_talk:Earflaps/sandbox3#Options_for_areas_format Earflaps ( talk) 13:48, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
Just finished a big referencing push on the page, wanted to give an overview; the vast majority are primary references, but before knee-jerk tagging the page, take a look and notice that those sources are used for the 'current' sections, which mostly include the basic info about rides and restaurants from the home site (hopefully up to date, I'm not sure how maintained the home website is). I've found Chessington's webmaster is just irritatingly fond of including info on a thousand individual pages instead of one page, otherwise it wouldn't look like so much. Any controversial or subjective information has been linked to a third-party book, or cned. Earflaps ( talk) 16:22, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
The lede states Historically opened as Chessington Zoo in 1931, an amusement park was developed alongside the zoo, opening in 1987. However, I recall being there in, I think, the early 1970s and there were amusement rides, not just a zoo. So I wonder if the 1987 date is for some sort of revamp or expansion.-- A bit iffy ( talk) 12:37, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
Is it possible to keep this article encyclopaedic and neutral? I regard is as advertising when someone add info about what merchandise can be bought where. Or where you look to from your hotel room. Or the hight restrictions. This article needs a major clean out to make it a proper neutral article. The Banner talk 14:28, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
This article has far to many images in the article, a lot of them add, to my opinion, absolutely nothing to the article. That is why I propose to remove the section Gallery and all images from the section Chessington Theme Park (including the gallery). The Banner talk 20:37, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

@ Shellwood and Rsrikanth05: A sincere request: please add a reason to your edit summaries ("vandalism"). I can tell what you did ("revert") and who you did it to, but I am left wondering why. The recent series of edits by 24.114.57.181 may be vandalism, but I can't tell because of the previous reversions of Who3450. I have left the IP edits for now, feel free to revert them if warranted.
