When does Chessington World of Adventures Resort open in 2024? Ticket, prices and location
AS the holidays approach, there’s no better place to face your fears than the Chessington World of Adventures Resort.
Home to over 1000 animals and the world’s only Jumanji rollercoaster, the resort is a hit among families for a reason.
What to expect from Chessington World of Adventures Resort
Chessington World of Adventures Resort boasts over 40 rides, a zoo, a SEA LIFE centre and even an onsite hotel.
Thrill-seekers can expect to get lost in exciting worlds and intricate set pieces.
Some standouts include the terrifying croc drop – an enormous crocodile mouth that passengers drop into and the Mandrill Mayhem – a stomach-churning inversion rollercoaster.
In March 2023 The Sun Online visited The World of Jumanji and spoke to Mandrill Mayhem’s designer, who had this to say about the petrifying new ride:
“Unlike your classic rollercoasters, which are the typical sit down, put the lap bar on and go up a lift hill, this one’s really unique because it’s a multi launch rollercoaster.
“That means you don’t just chug up a hill, you are accelerated like in a Formula One racing car along a track. And you do that launch four times. And you don’t just do it forwards. You do it backwards. So it’s super exciting.”
The theme park is not only for the brave, as the resort also hosts a variety of shows and entertainment, including the seasonal events Zootastic, EGGSplorers, Summer Festival, Howl’o’ween, and Winter Tail.
Believed to be a world first, hotel guests can even stay in Oreo and Capri Sun-themed bedrooms.
