Tiny Truckers at Chessington is a very popular ride and always has a queue over half an hour on a normal day. With the ride not having many vehicles, the capacity of the ride isn't very high, however, the park has tried to combat this and has conjoined all of the cars together.

Chessington has started to add on-ride photos to selected attractions in the new for 2020 The Rainforest area. River Rafts and Jungle Rangers are currently having on-ride photo cameras and systems installed with a new photo booth installed at the exit of River Rafts.

Blue Barnacle has officially opened to guests this afternoon, the park reopened on Monday however Blue Barnacle remained closed. We presume this was due to the cold weather.

Chessington has given Mexicana a new lease of life, with the whole area being repainted during the closed season and new theming and signs being added to the area. Upon entry into the area, there's no mistaking what part of the theme park your entering.
