During the 2019 theme park season, the Black Buccancer was removed due to unknown issues. However, it would appear that the park are stripping out the console of the old pirate ship, ready to install a brand new system ready for the 2020 season.

Chessington announced earlier this year that Black buccaneer wouldn’t be reopening for the 2019 season and that the attraction had set sail on a journey. With the addition of Beach & Bounce for the summer season new signs have been added around the Black Buccaneer ride saying the attraction is closed for 2019, could this be a sign that the ride might be back for the 2020 theme park season? Or will a brand new Pirate Ship be sailing in.

After 30 years of being operational at Chessington, Black Buccaneer has dropped its sail for the last time. The ride didn’t actually open for the 2019 theme park season after no work had been done to the ride rumors started to circulate that the ride wouldn’t be returning. After a few weeks of the park being open and the rumors going around today the park confirmed the ride had closed and wouldn’t be opening this year.
With the location of the ride being a large plot of land we expect this space will be used up by a rollercoaster in the next few years. Well.... we can at least hope so!
