St Maryβs Church β Adventure Point Located between the Seastorm ride and the Chessington Shop, St Maryβs Church serves as an elegant yet purely decorative landmark, bringing a sense of old-world charm to Adventure Point. Though not a functioning church, it enhances the parkβs atmosphere with its grand clock and bell tower, which chimes on the hour. Architectural Features: - Exterior: Designed in a Gothic-inspired style with intricate stonework, arched windows, and a tall spire. - Clock and Bell Tower: The tower houses five bells, which play the Westminster Chimes every hour. - Four bells for the Westminster Chimes: Notes from highest to lowestβG, F, D#, B - One bell for the hour strike: D# - Interior (for decoration only): - Stained glass windows featuring mythical creatures like griffins, dragons, and knights. - Wooden pews and candlelit chandeliers to create a nostalgic ambiance. - An inscription celebrating the spirit of adventure. Wild Woods Chiming Clock Positioned above the Burger Kitchen, the Wild Woods Chiming Clock serves as a charming timekeeper for visitors in the lower area of the park, adding a rhythmic structure to their adventure. Chiming System: - Three bells, ringing every 15 minutes: - Two bells for the quarters: Notes from highest to lowestβD, B - One bell for the hour: G Sound Dynamics: A fascinating aspect of this setup is the one-way sound effect: - Visitors near the Wild Woods clock can hear the St Maryβs bells in the distance. - However, those at St Maryβs Church cannot hear the Wild Woods clock. This creates an immersive experience where Adventure Point remains self-contained in its ambiance, while Wild Woods carries a subtle connection to the upper area through sound. The result? A park-wide melody that subtly changes depending on where you are!

I would give it 1 star simply because of the daft new name of the area. For me it is Transylvania and will always be. The area is the best themed place in the UK.
