Merlin Entertainments’ Chessington World of Adventures in the UK is to have a new themed land.
The UK-based international operator has applied to Kingston Council for permission to take out the Wild Asia area of the park and a glamping site next door and install a fresh land.
The current major ride in Wild Asia, the King Kobra, will remain but would be re-themed, but the new land would have several more indoor and outdoor rides aimed at families and a play area with fresh F&B offerings. A new water park is also planned.
The plan is to turn Chessington into a year-round attraction and enable it to compete more successfully with other parks in the south-east, including Paultons and Warner Bros Studio Tour.
