Vampire

About

Vampire (originally named The Vampire) is a steel suspended roller coaster located at Chessington World of Adventures Resort in Chessington, Greater London, England. Opened in 1990, it is one of only a few remaining Arrow Dynamics suspended swinging coasters in operation globally, and is the only Arrow Dynamics suspended roller coaster still operating outside of North America. The roller coaster features trains that hang beneath the track, swinging freely as they navigate the course.

The roller coaster includes two lift hills and is characterised by numerous dives and turns. The layout was drafted by John Wardley. In 2001, The Vampire underwent modifications to accommodate new trains manufactured by Vekoma.

The updated coaster reopened to the public in 2002.
