Such a shame that the year Cadbury focuses on its 200th anniversary, expanding its archives and celebrating, it goes and replaces its oldest ride that brought a lot of happy memories and childhood nostalgia...

I loved the branding and experience for "Cadbury Essence" which lasted a very short time in the building where the 4D cinema now is, can never find much about it online but the logo for the attraction was stunning

Your honesty is always appreciated 😊

My best memory of cadabra is when I went with my primary School and I got too scared to get on and because they felt bad I got a curliewirly and a double decker

I’m still holding out hope that I’ll win a chuckle bean from the ride 😊, also great video as always it’s very refreshing that you are both so honest with your opinions.

It’ll definitely be missed! This new interactive ride should have gone in as a second ride instead of them closing Cadabra!

It's an interactive attraction, like you say. So, why didn't they provide us with something other than a screen to interact with? I know it's a poor example, because it's not exactly in the best of nick, but think about Golden Nugget/Sheriff's Showdown at Drayton Manor! I wish we had more investments into modern versions of that!

Cadabra has some really great scenes with excellent animatronics! Can’t believe they’ve replaced it with this

I feel the mistake is that this is Cadabra's replacement. Also, I find it a mistake that this is at the end of the experience, especially with downtime. I'm one that wants to do an attraction that I want to do first, in case it goes down. Hopefully they replace Cadabra with something just as interesting and great. You have the skeleton for it already, why not use it

I was able to see you guys out the window when queuing up for the ride

I always thought the Cadabra ride was slightly creepy with the slightly creepy beans but it had its charm and it was practical effects. Duel proves that you can have practical effects and a shooter, the screens feel lazy which is sad considering the money Merlin is putting in. I’m only 20 so I’m not too nostalgic for the old ride but still considering they are in two different areas it doesn’t make much sense to close one ride for the other.

personally thought the concept of the idea was a bit odd about what goes into a dairy milk bar when thats literally what the entire cadbury world experience covers 😅 looking at the pov they really couldve done so much more with that rather than just 90% screen 10% physical set it just wasn't consistent, they shouldve learned or even maintained some of the cadabra theming to give it more of an old school charm. either way, hopefully the feedback merlin get on this ride given its the first investment since the acquisition will help them build better attractions, and in a way that doesn't insult cadabra that had to close for this

It's the way of so many "dark rides" these days...

One time me and my family were on Cadabra when it broke down. We were stuck for quite a while while they tried to fix it, which would have been fine except that our cart stopped perfectly under the fan, meaning we were very cold the whole time

Wow the new ride at Cadbury world looks amazing ❤

So they're giving back some chocolate at the entrance to the attraction but only 4 bars ? Back in the day when Cadbury World was younger, you got a goody bag with much more chocolate at the entrance & they had a lovely bouncy castle with inflated chocolate bars to hug so much fun. They should bring that back.

I met you thanks for the photo.

I agree with you both about the new Cadbury Quest ride. We visited on 24 March hoping to get on Cadabra before it closed but it had a technical fault and wasn't open so watched your vlog for it. Looking at your vlog for the new ride I'm disappointed too. It looked a bit booring with all the screens and there were far too many monkeys so looked quite repetitive. Yes why couldn't both rides be kept open, it would have meant more to see there. I know the main reason for visiting has always been the self tour around the history of Cadbury Chocolate (which was well set out) but now Merlin has taken over, hopefully they will expand the outside area. I also agree more family rides are needed, themed, like you suggested, teacups, carousel and a couple of small coasters as there's really only the 4D show and a kiddies play & picnic area at the moment. Are they just giving 2 free chocolate bars out now to each person, we got 4 bars each

There’s a very similar free ride like this at Hershey. You don’t shoot anything though it’s just a dark ride. This is in the visitor centre outside the theme park there.

I think this place could be quite a good mini theme park, but only if you could ride everything as many times as you liked. I'd have thought that the appeal of an interactive ride is partly riding it again and trying to beat your score. They could also have an indoor boat ride about voyaging to the Americas.

The flickering screens look awful & the sound from Freddo I couldn't hear. But the screens are headache/fit inducing !

The trackless technology does look impressive given trackless is usually perceived as being slow and requiring a lot space for maneuver. The shortness of the ride, as opposed to the heavy reliance on screens is what concerns me the most.

Went yesterday having never been before so (thankfully) not having the nostalgia for it. Completely agree RE the Bournville experiences. I really loved that whereas I felt the factory tour was a little sad at times. Hopefully the Bournville experience is an indication of what some sparkle magic can do to the rest of it. On the ride: Yeah. I thought it was fine. I couldn't say more than fine. I think the kids will enjoy it and I suppose that is who it's for. It did make me a little sad because I love trackless dark rides and the UK should really have more of them considering the climate and it was just a bit underwhelming. That said, I was suprised by how good the 4D cinema was and happy I bought home a chocolate haul so not a bad day by any account

I’m wondering if this is gonna be a supporting attraction and a much better attraction is gonna go where Cadabra was

Cool ride system, but I find it disgusting how Cadbury's presents their product. They omit that fact it's mostly sugar, making it look like it's just pure cacao beans and milk. There's bugger all cacao in their chocolate, and it's a low quality mix of high yield varieties. They also make acquiring the milk look hella greenwashed, but I suppose showing a cow getting raped and enslaved, then having her child stolen from her year on year until she dies at a quarter of her natural lifespan but I suppose that wouldn't make a child-friendly attraction. In case you didn't know, the 'milk' that's in this stuff is actually just dried milk powder, which is a waste product from the extremely wasteful dairy industry (they have to overproduce as cows have 9 month pregnancy's, so they need to plan their yield far in advance of demand). Dried milk powder is often given away for free, or even at a negative cost due to storage limitations. Anyway sorry for being a downer, there are many great, quality, ethical chocolate brands, Cadbury just isn't one of them
