  • Bubbleworks opened at Chessington World of Adventures in 1990 as 'Professor Burps' Bubbleworks', a fizzy drinks factory. In 2005 the ride became sponsored by Cusson's (soap) and re-themed to a soap factory, dropping 'Professor Burp' and re-named simply 'Bubbleworks'.
    In September 2016, the ride took its final riders before closing down to make way for a new ride.

    I remember the last time I went on this before it became the gruffalo - after we went down the slide into the fountain room, it must have been a faulty tub because as we splashed into the water, the tub started filling up with water; how it kept going until the end, I’ll never know but we did end up with not only soggy feet but the bottom of our legs wet 😂
