This was my first ever roller coaster I went on, I remember thinking it was the scariest thing I could do, until I got on and now I'm hooked on roller coasters!
same here!! I remember being creeped out at the themed stuff on the way to the coaster but man this made me feel like such a big kid afterwards haha. I must've been 7 or 8
Me too!! I was so scared to go on this, but after I did I felt so brave, and now I love rollercoasters. This was one of the first rollercoasters I have been on
It was mine too when I was only 11 and on a school trip. I didn't want to look scared in front of my friends so they dragged me on this and I've been hooked on coasters since!
The thing that started my entire rollercoaster obsession was my first ever coaster, megafobia at Oakwood in wales ) I used to count it as scorpion express at chessington but I don’t view that as like a proper rollercoaster
I went on this ride for the first time today and was dreading it as I'm not a ride person at all. I don't know what it is about this ride though, but I ended up loving it! It's fast, but I didn't get that "stomach-drop" feeling I get on other coasters. I ended up going on it a second time. I'd say Vampire is definitely a good ride to start with if you want to get used to roller coasters.
I remember going on this ride 20 times in one day (occasionally broken up with a trip on Bubbleworks). I don’t think I ever screamed. It was just the right amount of fast fun without being too scary.
First went on this ride back in 1992 as a 15yr old!! As a 45 year old I still hold this ride dear to my heart, sure it's not that inverted thrill you get at Thorpe, but this Suspended Coaster is only 1 of 2 left on the planet, so treasure it. The theming has always been wonderful, and the flight in the tunnel still brings a smile!! The old trains were much much better tho.
I really enjoyed this ride. I have a heart condition, so I usually avoid roller coasters. But this one and th13een are fine! They're fast and fun, but not extreme. Th13een is probably more intense than this one, but Vampire is still pretty fast and I found the first part of the ride more intense than the second part. You bang your head quite a lot if you don't keep it stiff, but it's still cool swinging among the trees! And the queue! Oh wow, this ride is worth just for the amazingly themed queue!
I went on there in June and I absolutely loved it and the best part is that you can see everyone underneath you but let me tell you it was fast alright. It took an hour to get on but it was definitely worth it!
This was my second rollercoaster. It had a much better queueline than Dragon's Fury, but Dragon's Fury was the better ride. But they were both very enjoyable.
I remember when it was little bats your legs used to be inside. It was my 1st ever coaster went on it for the 1st time in 20 years yesterday brought back some memories
Ah classic ride, it really has aged well, which is nice. I went on this roughly when Transylvania first opened, with the Professor Burps Bubbleworks ride was brand new. I remember the original bat trains, they were big and chunky and those lift hills seemed to struggle to haul them up the inclines Everytime we went there as kids, that ride was almost guaranteed to breakdown.
been wanting to go on this ride since i was a young kid who didn’t even meet the height limit 😂 i’ve been rewatching this video up until now to “prepare” myself as i’m usually terrified of rollercoasters… but today i went on it with my boyfriend and we got front row seats. needless to say it was worth the wait and we went to ride it again before the park closed. as cliche as it sounds, my only regret is not trying it sooner 💜
Glad you had a good time and over come your fears as this is a good start off rollercoaster as we enjoy It when we go to Chessington world of adventures
I queued up for an hour to ride this and when I got to the station, they had to evacuate everyone from the queue line because a train was stuck. They didnt compensate anyone who was in the queue either. Great POV though.
personaly, one of the most intense parts for me are when it lifts you up. that clicking sound really is just terrfying. aswell as going over the houses as i was on the front was a bit scary and intense
I went to chessington a few weeks ago but I was too scared to do vampire and any big sorta rides but me and my bestfriend are going in like 2 weeks and we agreed to do vapire and most of the big rides and seeing these povs have helped me and I’m literally now obsessed with watching them 😂
The first time I went on vampire me and my mum were at the front lol. As it was my first time on it I was so scared but excited coz we were at the front lol
I went on this coaster when I was 7- I’m still a kid 😂 and after stepping foot into the queue area I was scared to hell but after the drop you wouldn’t feel like the big stomach drop thingy. It would just feel like you were gliding through the air. I don’t find the hanging rollercoasters scary. Only he ones attached to the rails.
Omg I went on this in 2024 with my sister and it got to the begging part when it got there it broke down so we came of the ride and my mom was like where are my children? My sister says the gruffalo one is scary. It's not
It’s so fast but when the turns come it hurst your head so badly but boi is was worth it we went on a rlly hot day and we got to go on it 5 times there was barley anime there
