Now the park has been given approval on plans to refresh the Lodge Gate, heavy construction can now begin! Work on the retheme has already begun with the canopy covering the turnstiles being removed along with most of the entrance turnstiles!

Chessington has been given the green light to officially start work on the Lodge Gate retheme! Over the next few weeks works on the entrance gate will ramp up and we should hopefully see this new entrance ready and open for the busy summer season.

Chessington World of Adventures has installed a small selection of animal topiaries around the park. Sprinkling a bit of extra magic, you can spot these beautiful creatures around the park, our favourite is the Zebra located by Adventure Point.

Wild Asia has been restored to its former glory! Originally opening in 2010 the area has been exposed to the elements of British weather without a repaint. The park has touched up most of the area with Temple of Mayhem receiving the biggest makeover and paint job.

Jungle Bus at Chessington looks to be closed for the 2022 season, the ride has been fully dismantled with a fence installed around the ride. The attraction has also been removed from all of the park maps and queue time boards.

Construction work on Project Amazon is in full swing with the site completely cleared and early work on foundations beginning. We can already see loads of small trenches where foundations could be put, yellow markers around the site also seem to show a brief layout of the rollercoaster.

Forbidden Kingdom has received a major repaint during the 2021/2022 closed season. The whole area has been repainted along with the canopy drapes replaced for the first time in a long time! It's great to see the park taking care of older areas.

It's the first day of the season and it's the first time we've been able to see what the park have been up to during the closed season.

Chessington has released Retro Merchandise celebrating its rich history. T-Shirts, Jumpers and a tote bag featuring the park's old logo and slogan can be found online and in the Adventure Point Gift Shop.

Pirates Cove has been fenced off ready for the installation of two new flat rides pending planning permission. Sea Storm remains closed for now whilst the park appears to be waiting for a new part for the ride which has remained closed since early last year.
