World Of Paw Patrol

World of PAW Patrol officially opened at Chessington World of Adventures today, with speeches from Rob Smith, Chief Operating Officer at Merlin Entertainments, Vlad Perelman, Vice President of Global Business, LBE at Paramount, and Nick Bevan, Vice President for Chessington World of Adventures. PAW Patrol characters were also on hand alongside PAWject Manager Hallie to press the button and officially open the new area following a special countdown.

The new land looks fantastic and it is brilliant to see one of the park’s older areas transformed with such a huge uplift, complete with new rides, themed areas and experiences for families to enjoy.

The new family rollercoaster is also a worthy replacement for the former Scorpion Express in our opinion. With a lower height requirement and a more accessible train design, it makes for a brilliant first rollercoaster for younger guests visiting the park.

World of PAW Patrol is sure to become a huge hit for Chessington and families visiting the resort this year.

Our final construction update from Chessington’s World of Paw Patrol takes you through the entire journey of the project. From the moment the plans were revealed at the local residents’ expo, through to the submission of those plans, the removal of the Scorpion Express track, the delivery of ride hardware, and the testing phase, we have followed every step. You can look back and see how the development has progressed over time.

In today’s final update, all rides were seen testing, and staff were present around the area wearing the new Paw Patrol uniforms. The land is now looking almost ready to open. There still appears to be some ongoing work near the entrance to the rollercoaster, Chase’s Mountain Mission. It looks as though there will be some kind of themed scene at the base of the tower that guests will walk through.

We are particularly excited to see what the shop will look like inside, as this has been kept very secret so far. Aside from that, the main remaining task seems to be finishing the entrance portal. The foundations for the entrance signage are currently exposed, and the netting on the surrounding fences has started to be removed and is gradually coming down.

Join us on Saturday from 9am live from Chessington for the VIP launch of World of Paw Patrol, exclusively on our custom live blog platform. Head over now to vote for what you are most excited to see:

Excitement is building at Chessington World of Adventures Resort as the park has officially announced that its brand-new World of PAW Patrol land will open on 3rd May 2026, just in time for the May Bank Holiday.

The £15 million immersive development will be the UK’s first and only land themed around PAW Patrol, bringing the world of Adventure Bay to life with themed rides, interactive play zones, immersive storytelling, plus dedicated food, drink and retail experiences designed especially for young families.

Adding to the excitement, the park has already welcomed its very first “guest” to test the new land. Four-year-old superfan Hallie Sawyer was chosen from more than 2,000 applicants to become the official “PAWject Manager,” tasked with trying out rides and play areas to ensure they are truly “ruff ruff ready” for opening day.

The new land is being built on the former site of the Scorpion Express roller coaster and the park’s old children’s zoo, completely transforming the space into Adventure Bay across a 1.4-acre area.

The Rides and Attractions

World of PAW Patrol will feature a range of attractions themed around the heroic pups, giving families the chance to join their favourite rescue missions.

Chase’s Mountain Mission

There’s trouble on the mountain! Mayor Goodway and Chickaletta are stranded high above on a tightrope, and it’s up to Chase and Everest to save the day. Families will hop into Chase’s high-speed rescue vehicle on this family junior coaster, racing to complete the mission — the perfect first thrill ride for young adventurers.

Skye’s Helicopter Heroes

Time to take to the skies! Riders will climb aboard Skye’s iconic helicopter and soar into action on a high-flying rescue mission, enjoying uplifting views as they help complete another daring rescue.

Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue

Sound the alarm! A kitten needs rescuing, and Marshall is calling on little heroes for help. Guests will climb aboard the bright red firetruck as it rocks and rolls through the streets of Adventure Bay in this fun-filled family ride.

Zuma’s Hovercraft Adventure

Spring into action on the UK’s first-ever ‘Drifter’ ride. Riders will join Zuma aboard a spinning hovercraft journey from Adventure Bay to Seal Island, swirling through ocean waves as they race to deliver a brand-new light bulb to the lighthouse.

Rubble & Rocky’s Playzone

For those ready to build, climb and explore, this interactive play area is packed with hands-on fun. Little builders can scramble through Rubble’s construction zone before heading into Rocky’s Recycle Yard — a maze of repurposed parts perfect for eco-heroes who love to tinker and crawl their way to adventure.

The Flounder Boat Play

Little explorers can also set sail on a high-seas adventure, helping Captain Turbot aboard the Flounder Boat in a fun, nautical-themed play experience.

Beyond the attractions, guests can expect themed dining and retail locations inspired by Adventure Bay, offering rescue-ready refreshments and exclusive souvenirs to complete the experience.

For families looking to extend their visit, the resort is also introducing the UK’s first PAW Patrol-themed hotel rooms. These fully themed stays sleep up to two adults and three children and include perks such as early ride access and Fastrack, making them a popular option for opening season visits.

Nick Bevan, Vice President at Chessington, said:

“It’s safe to say Hallie was on the case, bringing such enthusiasm and ‘PAW-sitivity’ to her important quality assurance mission. Her entry was a brilliant reminder of how the PAW Patrol values can be lived every day through care, teamwork, and doing the right thing. It has been great to witness the smiles the World of PAW Patrol has brought to our first visitor, and we can’t wait for families from across the world to experience the magic of PAW Patrol here at Chessington World of Adventures from 3rd May.”

With attractions themed to each member of the PAW Patrol team and a full day’s worth of immersive experiences, World of PAW Patrol is set to become one of the biggest family additions to Chessington in years.

With the opening date now confirmed for 3rd May 2026, families won’t have long to wait before answering the call — because when Adventure Bay needs help, the PAW Patrol are ready to ride.

It won’t be long until PAW Patrol World at Chessington opens to guests, and it’s looking amazing!

With the Easter half term here, we’ve spotted two of the new attractions testing in the World of PAW Patrol land. For the first time, both Chase’s Mountain Mission and Skye’s Helicopter Heroes have been seen testing. Chase’s Mountain Mission looks fantastic, with some really cute theming on the train, especially the traffic cones on the back, while Skye’s Helicopter Heroes looks like great fun, even if it may be a bit of a squeeze for adults.

Elsewhere, Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue appears almost ready to begin staff training and testing, and Zuma’s Hovercraft Adventure also looks like it will be a lot of fun for younger guests.

The overall theming and level of polish in this area are incredible and unlike anything we’ve seen at a Merlin theme park before. Since our last update, many more themed elements have been installed, and all of the ride and area signs have now been unwrapped. The entrance signage looks brilliant, and queue time boards are now being put in place, including one visible for Chase’s Mountain Mission near the entrance.

In the centre of the land, the large tower feature is really coming together. While the main slide is purely decorative, a smaller slide nearby has been installed for children to enjoy.

This is a fantastic investment, and we can’t wait to see it open. There’s still no official opening date, but we’d expect an announcement very soon, with many predicting a launch in the first or second weekend of May 2026.

We’re really looking forward to getting inside the area once it opens and seeing all the details up close.

The World of PAW Patrol at Chessington is shaping up to be an exciting addition for the 2026 season, with the area now looking fantastic as the park reopens.

Construction fences around the land have now been removed, giving guests their first clear views of the area in weeks. Remaining fencing near Rattlesnake has been thoughtfully redesigned, featuring curved shapes and themed vinyls to better blend into the Forbidden Kingdom area—a nice and unexpected touch.

Across the land, a wide range of themed models have been installed, bringing the area to life. The flooring is also in the final stages of completion, helping to tie everything together visually.

All of the rides now appear to be fully installed. This includes the train for the rollercoaster Chase’s Mountain Mission and the iconic big red bus for Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue formerly Jungle Bus in Wild Asia, which has now been put into place.

While there has been no official confirmation, markings visible on sections of the rollercoaster track suggest that testing may already be underway.

An official opening date has yet to be announced, but the area is widely expected to open in May 2026. From what we’ve seen so far, this could be one of the best new areas Merlin has delivered in a long time.

From areas of the theme park that are currently open to guests, we’ve been able to catch glimpses of the construction taking place on Paw Patrol World, and it’s clear that the new land is really starting to come together. While the area itself remains closed off, several key features are now visible from nearby pathways, giving visitors an exciting early look at the progress being made as work continues on this highly anticipated addition to Chessington World of Adventures Resort.

The entrance sign and archway have now been installed. They’re currently wrapped up to keep them protected while work across the area continues, but it’s still exciting to see the main gateway into the new land now in place.

With all of the rides now installed, it should only be a matter of time before testing begins across the attractions. We’ve already seen footage of Skye’s Helicopter Heroes testing, and it looks fantastic in action.

The shop within the area also appears to have received its new signage, adding another themed element and bringing the land one step closer to completion.

In the centre of the area, the large slide that wraps around the tower has now been installed. This has raised a bit of a question though — will the slide actually be open for guests to use, or is it simply a themed feature? The first drop off the slide looks… pretty extreme!

Elsewhere, some of the character models on the mountains surrounding the rollercoaster have had their protective wrapping removed, giving us our first clearer look at some of the theming elements.

Over at the Chessington Safari Hotel, we’ve also had our first look at the Paw Patrol-themed corridor, with the hotel rooms located along either side. The corridor already looks fantastic, and we’re expecting the rooms themselves to look just as impressive once fully revealed.

There’s still no official opening date for the new area just yet, but with this much progress happening, we have a feeling an announcement could be coming very soon.

Construction on PAW Patrol World at Chessington World of Adventures is advancing rapidly, and the transformation of the area is now clearly visible from around the resort. Since our last in-depth look at the brand-new land opening in Spring 2026, significant progress has been made across every major attraction, with ride structures installed, theming elements appearing daily, and testing already underway on select rides. What was once a construction site is now unmistakably becoming a fully realised, immersive PAW Patrol experience.

Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue

The main ride structure for Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue has now been installed, marking a major milestone for the attraction. While the red fire engine vehicle itself has not yet been fitted, components for the ride can currently be seen stored in the grass car park, ready for installation in the coming weeks. With the framework in place, it won’t be long before this family attraction begins to take its final shape.

Chase’s Mountain Mission

Chase’s Mountain Mission is looking particularly impressive. CCTV cameras have now been installed on the lift hill, and additional theming continues to appear throughout the ride area. The queue line structure is also nearing completion and already gives a strong sense of the themed environment guests will experience before boarding.

In exciting news, the rollercoaster train was delivered this week and has been spotted in the grass car park near the former Go Ape course. Installation is expected soon, which means ride testing could begin in the near future.

Vinyl graphics are now being applied to the metal structure surrounding the station and exit area, adding colour and character to the attraction. Lighting fixtures can also be seen suspended from sections of the track and structure, which will no doubt enhance the atmosphere when the land opens.

Skye’s Helicopter Heroes

Skye’s Helicopter Heroes has already been seen testing over the past week — a fantastic sign of progress. This confirms the ride now has power and that the commissioning process is officially underway. Seeing movement on site is always a major step forward, and it brings the opening one step closer.

Zuma’s Hovercraft Adventure

One of the biggest visible changes since our last update is the full installation of Zuma’s Hovercraft Adventure. This attraction will be the UK’s first-ever ‘Drifter’ ride, making it a standout addition to the land. With the ride structure now in place, it’s easy to see how this dynamic attraction will add energy and excitement to the area.

Rubble & Rocky’s Playzone

Work on Rubble & Rocky’s Playzone continues to progress steadily, with multiple structures now installed throughout the space. The layout of the play area is becoming much clearer, and it’s evident this will be an interactive and engaging zone for younger guests.

Theming, Shop & Entrance Portal

The overall theming across PAW Patrol World has increased significantly since our last visit. Scenic elements are appearing throughout the land, and we can now see artificial trees being installed, helping to create a vibrant, immersive environment that brings the animated world into reality.

The shop and facilities building is also looking fantastic. New vinyl graphics have been applied, shelters are being added, and shop window fronts are now in place, giving the building a polished and welcoming appearance.

In addition, work has begun on the brand-new entrance portal to the land. Metal footers for the structure can be seen peeking through the fencing, marking the starting point for what will soon become the main gateway into PAW Patrol World.

With rides installed, theming going in daily, and testing already underway, PAW Patrol World is quickly becoming one of the most exciting new additions to Chessington. Spring 2026 is shaping up to be an unforgettable launch.

Chessington has officially sent out an exciting email giving us our first exclusive look inside the brand-new World of PAW Patrol — and it’s shaping up to be pawsome!

As new members of the patrol, we’ve been given a sneak peek at what’s in store — from a “my first rollercoaster” adventure to the UK’s very first Drifter ride. Here’s everything waiting for little patrollers this Spring…

Chase’s Mountain Mission

There’s trouble on the mountain! Mayor Goodway and Chickaletta are stranded high above on a tightrope, and it’s up to Chase and Everest to save the day.

Families will hop into Chase’s high-speed rescue vehicle on this family junior coaster, racing to complete the mission. It’s the perfect first thrill ride for young adventurers!

Skye’s Helicopter Heroes

Time to take to the skies! Riders will climb aboard Skye’s iconic helicopter and soar into action on a high-flying rescue mission.

With panoramic views and plenty of teamwork (and tail wags!), this uplifting adventure promises an unforgettable flight.

Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue

Sound the alarm! A kitten needs rescuing, and Marshall is calling on little heroes for help.

Climb aboard the bright red firetruck and hold on tight as it rocks and rolls through the streets of Adventure Bay in this fun-filled family ride.

Zuma’s Hovercraft Adventure

Spring into action on the UK’s first-ever ‘Drifter’ ride!

Join Zuma aboard a spinning hovercraft journey from Adventure Bay to Seal Island. Riders will swirl, spin and brave the ocean waves as they race to deliver a brand-new light bulb to the lighthouse.

Rubble & Rocky’s Playzone

For those ready to build, climb and explore, this interactive play area is packed with hands-on fun.

Little builders can slide and scramble through Rubble’s construction zone before heading into Rocky’s Recycle Yard — a maze of repurposed parts perfect for eco-heroes who love to tinker and crawl their way to adventure.

With themed attractions for every member of the PAW Patrol team, immersive storytelling, and rides designed especially for young families, World of PAW Patrol at Chessington is set to be one of the most exciting new additions for 2026.

Spring can’t come soon enough!

It’s been a month and a half since our last look at the new World of PAW Patrol area at Chessington, and the progress is impressive. The land is really starting to come together, and it looks fantastic.

Since our previous visit, what appears to be another new flat ride has been installed, adding even more excitement to the area. During our behind-the-scenes tour of the maintenance workshops, we also spotted the refurbished bus for Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue. The vehicle has been given a fresh coat of paint along with brand-new decals and is expected to be installed soon.

The central tower within the land has now had its theming completed, and it looks absolutely amazing — a real focal point for the area.

Chessington reopens next week for half term, meaning views into the construction site will be available once again. While there’s still no confirmed opening date for the new land, it’s clear that great progress is being made.

All paws on deck - World of PAW Patrol is getting ruff-ruff ready! Leading UK family theme park, Chessington World of Adventures, has given fans a first look at the UK’s first and only PAW Patrol-themed land, opening spring 2026 - and it’s already looking PAW-some. 

First look images unveiled today of the hotly anticipated new attraction - dedicated to the top-rated animated preschool series from Spin Master that airs on Nickelodeon and streams on Paramount+ - follow the installation of the iconic PAW Patrol Lookout Tower™, a real-life replica of the tower seen and played with by millions of children across the world. The Lookout Tower will form part of the new ‘Chase’s Mountain Mission’ ride, the attraction’s entry level rollercoaster.

The new images show PAW Patrol character, Rubble, who is overseeing the site’s construction, and Sian Hooper - Creative Director at Merlin Magic Making and the brains behind the new land - masterminding the finishing touches being put to the iconic Lookout Tower. This includes the tower’s pièce de résistance - the legendary PAW Patrol pup tag.

World of PAW Patrol will see PAW Patrol’s Adventure Bay setting represented in vibrant landscape theming across 1.4 acres, with the land’s storytelling drawing on the role of the pups in the community, demonstrating purpose and everyday heroism.

The £15 million immersive experience will include four thrilling rides – including the UK’s first ‘Drifter’ ride, designed to delight riders with sliding, drifting and skidding sensations – among a host of other tail-tagging fun and features. Each of the rides is themed around a beloved member of the PAW Patrol pack:

Guests will be able to hop onto Chase’s Mountain Mission, a high-speed rescue vehicle and entry level rollercoaster to help Chase and Everest save the day. 

Soar into action by joining Skye on a high-flying rescue mission on Skye’s Helicopter Heroes, where riders are invited to climb aboard Skye’s iconic helicopter and take to the skies. With spinning rotors, panoramic views, and a mission full of teamwork and tail wags, Skye’s Helicopter Adventure is an unforgettable flight. 

Become Zuma’s co-pilot and spring into action on the UK’s first ‘Drifter’ ride. Hop aboard a hovercraft and help navigate the waters from Adventure Bay to Seal Island on Zuma’s Hovercraft Adventure.  

Climb aboard the bright red fire truck on Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue and hang on tight as it rocks and rolls through the streets of Adventure Bay. A high-spirited ride, it’s perfect for junior patrollers ready to spring into action. 

Further details on what guests can expect when visiting World of PAW Patrol will be announced in the coming months. 

Sian Hooper, Creative Director at Merlin Magic Making commented:

"Bringing World of PAW Patrol to life is a true labour of love. From the very first sketches to seeing the iconic Lookout Tower rise above Chessington, our goal has been to capture the magic, energy and teamwork that millions of families know and adore from the show. Every ride has been designed to make guests feel like they’re stepping into Adventure Bay — whether they’re skidding and sliding with Zuma or soaring sky-high with Skye. We can’t wait for families to join the patrol this spring and create their own pup-tacular memories."

Ahead of World of PAW Patrol opening, the pups are also now on the hunt for a pre-schooler to become part of the patrol and take on the role of the ‘PAWject Manager’ this spring. The once in a lifetime opportunity will allow one lucky PAW Patrol fan to give their ‘final approval’ on the new land before fellow patrollers experience what’s on offer.

The PAWject Manager’s role will include being the first to test out the rides as well as meeting their heroes in their new home. The winner will also receive tickets for their family to attend the opening event, a night in one of the five PAW Patrol-themed hotel rooms at Chessington, and other additional PAW Patrol goodies.

To enter, little ones, with the help of their parents, can submit their application at www.chessington.com/pawjectmanager explaining why they would be ‘PAWfect’ for the job. Entries are open until 23.59 on Wed 4 March and T&Cs apply*.
