More details have been announced about the upcoming Jumanji-themed land at Chessington World of Adventures in the UK.
The amusement park says that the story of the land will follow the brand’s latest films, following Dr Bravestone through a world of adventures to locate the Jaguar’s Eye Jewel, lift the curse and save the world of Jumanji.
In terms of attractions, the standout will be the Mandrill Mayhem, which will see riders pass close to the sites of Jumanji, all while dodging the hazards of the jungle. It will launch riders through heavy jungle, up to the summit of the 55ft tall Jaguar Shrine, before falling backwards. The ride will also include an inversion, a first for the park.
Two flat rides, named Mamba Strike and Ostrich Stampede, will complete the land, alongside other themed F&B outlets and attractions.
Scott O’Neil, CEO at Merlin Entertainments, said: “We look forward to welcoming you to the jungle this spring, as the amazing World of Jumanji opens at Chessington World of Adventures Resort. Families should prepare to be turned upside down… literally, as the first new rollercoaster in nearly 20 years at the resort has a twist, turn and flip that will have you holding onto your seat! This is the next level for families wanting to explore the ultimate adventure together.”
