About Vampire
About Vampire
Vampire at Chessington World of Adventures is a suspended swinging coaster opened in 1990, with carriages that hang below the track and swing freely as the train moves. The original ride had organ music piped through speakers in the swinging cars - a feature that was removed in a later refurbishment. Top speed 45 mph, ride duration about 90 seconds. Layout is gentle by modern coaster standards but the swing motion creates surprising airtime.
Vampire is consistently among the most popular family thrill rides at the park because of its lower height limit and signature theming. Queues are usually 30-50 minutes mid-day. Worth riding for the nostalgia value - the queue line and station are heavily themed and largely unchanged since the early 1990s.
Vampire has averaged about 29 minutes of wait over recent weeks, and is typically busiest around 10:00 and quietest around 18:00. Over the last two weeks it has been open around 91% of the park's operating hours. It's typically quietest on Tuesdays and busiest on Sundays.
