Couldn't agree more, however, I think that British zoo's should start to become more like the Dutsch (german) zoo's. Could this re-branding campaign finally see chester knocked off the top as the best zoo in Britain (whichi believe it could be said it has held since 1991) and see Edinburgh Take over?

No I don't see it being knocked off the top spot,but I do think its a very real possibility that the map could be dropped,given how poor it is to read and use to get round the zoo!

To be fair, I could find my way around if I had this map but I'm familiar with the layout anyway. To your average first-timer, I think they're going to be screwed!
And is it just me or do they seem to have lost Flag Lane?

Yes, I probably was being a little extreme, however, I do agree that it could be dropped, as it just looks unprofetional and awkward! Why did chester even need a re branding capmaign? I thought that the old map was lovely, one of the best I'd seen!

It is there, but it's very faint.

I see it now, just looks like a line! Know explanation as to why there are 2 bridges in the middle of the zoo though. Would it kill them to write Flag Lane on the map, really?

Ah, but then it might be confusing...
