Under Construction
Welcome to Under Construction! Here we detail a host of exciting projects that have happened over the years at Chessington. From works to improve animal habitats to the construction of exciting new rides! We’ll cover them all here at Chessington Buzz. Please note however that here we only feature completed construction projects. For in-progress projects, please head over to our Future section and delve into the project which interests you most!
Over the years, Chessington has worked on a lot of projects. There’s been hotels, roller coasters, thrilling rides and exciting enclosures built. For example, below we detail the removal of Rameses Revenge and its replacement Croc Drop. We follow progress replacing the tired out Penguin Cove habitat and take a ride on the stormy seas during the arrival of Blue Barnacle.
Although some of these projects have taken many years to fulfil, our team were on the ground to follow progress every step of the way!
We’ve so much more coming soon. With the huge addition of Project Amazon coming up, these exciting additions will all feature here soon and we cannot wait to expand. We’re hearing rumours of bigger things to come, so rest assured that Chessington Buzz will have you covered!
