i really love this ride!!! it never seems to not be running compared to the other chessington rides but i would suggest
getting some fast track tickets because the queues are really bad!! :)

I went on this ride in 1999, I cant believe what they have done to it. The queue was always long but it was great
watching the old cars swoop down and kiss the grass I still remember that 10 years on, I believe due to the new
floorless cars they have now dug big trenches so people don’t smash there legs on the ground which is a shame as that
was great to watch. The theming in the station was great but again I have been told that a fair bit of this has now been
taken away or doesn’t work. The old coffin style cars really suited the whole experience and I don’t know why they
replaced them with those new trains. The ride itself was decent especial for a family ride the best bit was the dark
tunnel at the end if I remember rightly, I have seen that this has now been replaced by what looks like a shed. Overall
a decent family ride which looks like it has been made worse by its updates from Vekoma. The old ride I give 7/10.

This ride is absolutely fantastic! Why is it only a 6. On Monday I got 8 rides on this and it's such a fantastic family
coaster, so much fun! And very exciting especially when you look at the height restriction

I quite like it as it was fast and had some pretty good turns but I did bang my head a little on one part.

It's a bit rough in one particular spot just before the second lift hill, but it's great fun. Much better in the back
row than in the front, especially coming off the second lift hill.

A nice long ride. Rather bumpy in places but the swinging seats give it that edge to compensate. The turn out of the
tunnel at the end is jam packed with G's and really took me by suprise. Definatley worth a ride or 9.

Haven't been on Vampire since 2003 when I last visited Chessington, but back then I loved it. Not sure what I'd think
about it now, but I think I'd still prefer SFMM's Ninja.

I was ashamed with this ride, i found it abit boring just swinging around, plus the que was miles long! though the theme
is good, but i'm sure CWoA could do alot more with this ride!

Only rode it once, and it was in the dark, at Hallowe'en, so it probably increase my opinion on the ride but it was
awesome!

This is an ok ride. Its pretty fast but very rough. Also it stops half way. 6.5/10 Worth a couple of rides.

This is yet another fun ride, but is rough in some places. I like the "free swinging" and the abbility of being thrown
around which can be arguned that it can ease of the roughness in some cases. The things that I don't like about this
ride is that there isn't much paddign on the head rest and sometimes can hurt when you hit it. Also I don't like how the
station is co-ordinated. It is very hard to get on the same train as other mates in other rows, becuase you just have to
enter a queue for each row. But I still give this ride a 7/10
