  • Celebrate 26 years of the classic Bubbleworks at Chessington World Of Adventures with a video showing the complete experience of this classic British dark ride.
    The original ride operated for fifteen years before being redesigned by Tussauds Studios at the end of 2005 without the involvement of the ride's original designers. In the redesign, the ride's factory theme was changed to suit sponsor Imperial Leather. Several of the sets and props were recycled, extensively modified and repainted by Tussauds. Additionally, almost all the animations were removed or made static. In 2014 the Imperial Leather brand logos were removed or covered up, although the ride remained unchanged otherwise.
    The ride closed in September 2016 and was re-themed to the Gruffalo.

    This was definitely the most memorable ride at Chessington (though to be fair Chessington isn't 100% dedicated to rides unlike Thorpe Park). It had a magnificent soundtrack, and the remix in the "bath area" was just beautiful. I know they sadly closed this whole ride 3 years ago, but it's always possible they'll bring it back one day. This might be wishful thinking but we'll see!

      Me, too. Bubbleworks was so much more fun and the way that they practically set up the Gruffalo ride, I don't like. The Gruffalo in there looks nothing like the book and the sound and sudden light effects are too much for some of the more sensitive children or adults.

    This, along with "The Log Flume" at Alton Towers, were two legendary rides slaughtered by short-term greed (e.g. sponsorship). Maybe it was a blessing that both were eventually closed to put out of their misery.

    bubbleworks still exists to this day!
    as someone who works on rides in chessington gruffalo was built in a rush theres still paper of plannnjng and designs on the floors even so many years later. Gruffalo walls were built on top bubbleworks theres a small gap in the walls were old decoration still sits
    also if you go to chessington and go through the trail of the kings entrance next to the sea lions, take a peak over the shorter fence just on the outside of the trail on the right hand side you can spot old bubbleworks boats just sitting there!

    I went on the Gruffalo ride today as a 30 year old man taking my 2 year old son. It was my first time at Chessington since I was a child myself and I have very fond memories of professor Burp's Bubbleworks. To be honest I was pretty disappointed at what the ride has become, it just feels kind of...empty compared to before? Way less going on and no catchy music. My son enjoyed it but I wish he could have experienced the original iteration!

    I always thought this ride was a dream. I wish it didnt close, since its such a weird, surreal and dream-like experience

    Rest in peace bubbles works....Unfortunately welcome the gruffalo children book ride because that will be so much better
