Rodeo

One of the most missed thrill rides at the park (along with Samurai) is the Rodeo. It started life in the late 80’s as The Juggler in what was Circus World (now Wild Asia) before moving in the mid 90’s to Mexicana as the Rodeo, re-themed completely. This Breakdance style ride is known for spinning you out of control, and this is one ride Chessington knew how to run. Starting with the breaks on the ride would violently spin you with massive forces before the spinning platform would also start along with the cars and the bases. Simply an amazing ride but unfortunately suffered a major breakdown beyond park repair in late 2004, and whilst it did sit there for a bit it was soon removed.
