I'm on the 11 am on Friday. Not sure about making ourselves a target with hand-drawn badges though
We won't need badges: as ChesterZooFan says we'll make quite enough of a spectacle of ourselves to be easily identifiable

Oh, so many mistakes.
A) They have animals at the zoo, he just visited the wrong part. B) It opens in July, not next year! C) What does 'Let's got to the zoo!' mean? D) What's so brave about tigers? They see a man in the wild, they run! Now White-faced Whistling Ducks are brave, you walk past their nest, they just sit tight.

Oh well that's Tory publicity for you, why didn't they get the correct information from the zoo first.
Or was it actually taped last year?
Will be visiting on August 1st just to do Islands to see how accessible it is when packed for wheelchair users

Not that anyone will care, but I'll be in at 10am on the Friday. I'll tweet some photos from on-site (and some of the general fervour), so feel free to follow.
However, I think I'm with Alan on this - flooding the galleries with every conceivable angle of every path and enclosure might detract from the experience for others.

It was this year, City of Chester was a key battle ground (or so they thought before the election).
So it was a try and win votes visit, it was a narrow loss for them by 93 votes.

No, it was ten, I went for 11 in case of delays travelling!

this is why we are doing the 11 oclock one due to traffic but we are still planning to go early because of parking , i only live 30 mins away but rush hour traffic doesn't help
I followed exactly the same reasoning: the only predictable thing about the M60 between 8 and 10 am on a weekday is a delay (and my route also includes the A666, M62, M6 (Thelwall viaduct
) and the M56 - deepjoy as Stanley Unwin used to say).Alan

You haven't got the best route that way , we know that route well ... mines just A roads which has its good and bad days especially going into chester
Could someone please post some pictures
Have Chester zoo requested no posting of pictures as I can't find any on the WWW.
You can't get close enough to photograph that much at present. Google 'Cameron zoo' for various inaccurate videos of the project
There's a big rock!

There are some photos of the construction work in the Chester gallery. Have you looked on the zoo's website, I think they have some.

There are dozens of photos on the Islands blog accessed via the zoo website.
Thanks guys,
I have found the construction pictures but still cannot find completed pictures
That'd be because it's not completed yet
