More track has been delivered to the Zebra car park at Chessington, located next to the World of Jumanji construction site this huge car park is becoming one big storage yard for the rollercoaster track. With Go Ape open you have to drive past the car park and we, of course, couldn't resist taking a sneak peek and see if the track had been installed yet or if any more had been delivered.
It would appear 5 more sections of track have been delivered ready to be installed. All previous sections of the track we saw during our last trip are still sitting waiting to be installed, we're starting to think that maybe the park is waiting for all track to be delivered to start installing it. Rather than hiring a crane for smaller stints get it for one large pull-together. These sections of the track appear to be the other side of the inversion and for more banked sections of the rollercoaster.
With this delivery of track, we would guess 40% of the track for the rollercoaster has now been delivered. With the rest probably still in transit from America still. If you look closely at our last update you can see on each section of the track, a white label defining its country of origin. On each section of the track, you can also see the date of production written on it as well as what element number it is.

More rollercoaster track has been delivered to Chessington ready to be installed over the next few days in peace and quiet. With it now being the closed season, this might be our last chance to look around!
3 sections of track can be seen near the station within the construction site with more tracks spotted in the Zebra car park.
With permission from the park, we adventured into the car park whilst being watched by security and discovered even more track!! This is the largest delivery of track we’ve seen for Project Amazon now called World of Jumanji.
The sections of the track seen in the car park appear to be for the inversion / inline twist.
We can’t wait to see this rollercoaster put together over the next few months.

It’s the last day of the 2022 theme park season at Chessington and it’s our last chance to see the progress made on The World Of Jumanji area and the new rollercoaster.
Since our last visit to the park, no new track appears to have been delivered but work on the rollercoaster hasn't stopped! The first section of the track outside the station has been properly bolted together. At the back of the station, the first section of the track has been lifted into place. Featuring more launch fins and some breaks, this section will be used to slow the train down when it rolls back into the station after completing the circuit. Some catwalk side panels can also be seen, these will be used for maintenance and for evacuation purposes.
Inside the station, sections of the track have been covered in blue plastic sheets to protect them from damage whilst the park theme the station.
Talking of the station, we finally have a roof! The park is now one step closer to having the station watertight and ready for winter.
Next Sunday is an Annual Pass Day and will be our last chance to see the rollercoaster progress. With today being the last day of the season, the park has all week to receive new sections of track and install them without geeks watching!

4 days after we reported that the track had been delivered for Chessington's new rollercoaster, we had spotted that the track we spotted was indeed for the station and just outside of the station / the first turn out of the ride.
These track sections have now been installed along with the start of the spike coaster supports behind the station. With these track sections now installed it leaves the car park where they were delivered completely empty, making room for more deliveries very soon!
With the station track now installed, work has already begun on installing the roof over the station. Although the track has been installed in the station it would appear the first section of track outside the station hasn't been bolted together yet and isn't in its final resting location just yet.
We can't wait to see what sections of track are delivered next over the next few days and weeks. It won't be long until we start to see track installed all over the site! There's lots of work to be done still before we see the other 2 flat rides installed and theming work properly commence.

Track has been delivered for Chessingtons newest rollercoaster which is due to open in 2023.
A few pieces lay in the car park awaiting being moved into the construction site to be installed. The pieces that can currently be seen appear are some straight sections of track which look to be part of the station and launch sections for the ride. And one big curved section which we expect will be part of the helix looping up and around the jaguar theming.
It seems one piece has already been relocated to the construction site. Since our last visit only a few days ago more supports have been installed around the jaguar theming. The only support left to be installed is the rollback out of the station as far as we are
