  • Chessington World of Adventures Guide
    Chessington World of Adventures Guide Overview One of three theme parks located in Greater London that are operated by Merlin Entertainments Group, Chessington World of Adventures combines a host of rides and shows with a world-class zoo. Whereas nearby LEGOLAND Windsor is aimed at families with kids aged 2-12, and Thorpe Park caters for teens and young adults, Chessington offers something for just about every age group. In addition to the theme park and zoo, the site is also home to the Holiday Inn Chessington, a safari-themed hotel that overlooks the Wanyama Village & Reserve area. History The origins of Chessington World of Adventures can be traced back to 1931, when a new zoo was established in the grounds of a fourteenth century country mansion by entrepreneur Reginald Goddard. The zoo was eventually acquired by the Pearsons Group in 1978, which subsequently merged with the Madame Tussauds chain to form The Tussauds Group. The newly-formed company embarked on an ambitious £12 million project to build a theme park on the site, and Chessington World of Adventures opened to the public in 1987.

  • The Singapore Flyer Experiencing Singaporean Modernity Through Architecture, Motion and Bergson
    The Singapore Flyer Experiencing Singaporean Modernity Through Architecture, Motion and Bergson Prof Iain Borden Professor of Architecture & Urban Culture Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL [email protected] 1 Abstract This article explores the post-construction history of the Singapore Flyer observation wheel as an experiential symbol of Singaporean modernity. Using an interdisciplinary intersection of history, theory, interpretation and photography (specially commissioned from Singaporean photographer Christopher Cheng), the Flyer is disclosed as a mobile architecture by which the visitor is prompted to consider their position in relation to the wheel itself, to Singapore, and to the wider world. The ideas of Henri Bergson in particular are used as a speculative tool. Keywords: Singapore, Singapore Flyer, observation wheel, modernity, Bergson, movement, experience. 2 How do we understand our visits to and experiences of fantastical pieces of architecture such as the Singapore Flyer observation wheel, overseeing the grandiose Marina Bay urban development in Singapore? The Singapore Flyer is not a building, does not stand still, has no recognised designer and resists interpretation through many of the conventional conceptual schema typically directed at the design and production of architecture rather than at its experience or post- construction history. The Flyer is also, despite its evident size and engineering achievement, rather banal, possessing little of the sophisticated design quality and spectacular imagery of the London Eye (as explored by Mark Dorrian1) or indeed of many other observation wheel rivals around the world. In addition, the Flyer is immensely popular, visited by hundreds of thousands each year and frequently cited by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) as one of the most visible symbols of Singapore's rapid modernisation.
