Completed Projects
Our new Projects Portal is a work in progress, therefore some features may not work as expected. Please pardon our dust as we continue to evolve Chessington Buzz.
Welcome to Completed Projects, the home of Chessington’s most exciting transformations brought to life. This section celebrates the projects that made it off the drawing board and into the park, reshaping the landscape of Chessington World of Adventures. Delivering brand-new experiences for guests to enjoy.
Here, we follow each project from its very first planning documents all the way to its grand opening. We capture every step of the journey—from groundworks and demolition to steel rising, theming taking shape, and rides roaring to life. These are the projects that turned vision into reality, and we’ve tracked every twist and turn along the way.
Whether it’s the wild thrills of the World of Jumanji. An area which brought a disused picnic field to life with jaw-dropping theming and innovative new rides. Or the charming Shipwreck Coast, which breathed new life into a tired area with a fresh nautical theme and two family-friendly rides. Each project has left its mark on the park.
From small enhancements to large-scale themed lands, these completed developments have all played a role in moving Chessington forward. Some may be subtle, others spectacular, but each one is a part of the resort’s ever-evolving story.
Explore the archive, relive the progress, and discover how some of your favourite attractions came to life — one brick, beam, and bold idea at a time.
This archive brings you closer to the action than ever before. Explore the legacy of completed projects and relive the creative journeys that made them possible. The story of modern Chessington starts here — and it’s still being written.
Project Amazon
Project Amazon brought the untamed jungles of the World of Jumanji to life. This immersive land introduced thrilling attractions, rich theming, and a wild new energy to the park, marking one of the most ambitious developments in Chessington’s recent history.
Project Anchor
Breathing new life into a classic corner of the park, Project Anchor saw Pirates Cove set sail on a fresh adventure. With the arrival of Shipwreck Coast, the area was transformed into a vibrant, light-hearted fishing village complete with two new family-friendly rides and nautical charm.
Project Plummet
Out with the old and in with the awe-inspiring. Project Plummet replaced the beloved Rameses Revenge with Croc Drop, a dramatic spinning drop tower themed around the mighty crocodile god Sobek. It’s a soaring tribute to Chessington’s evolving lineup of thrilling experiences.
