Construction Site Grows for Chessington 2027
Sunday 14th September 2025
Construction for Chessington’s highly anticipated 2027 project is expanding, with fences pushed out further to cover a noticeably larger footprint than before. This suggests big things are planned for the area.
At present, the site remains relatively bare, with only a handful of construction vehicles and machinery scattered across the ground. While there’s not much vertical progress just yet, the increased scale of the construction zone hints at the scale of what’s to come.
It’s still early days, but all signs point to Chessington’s 2027 addition being one of the most significant developments the park has seen in years.
Wild Asia Demolition Update: Site Office Installed and Works Underway
Saturday 9th August 2025
Wild Asia is gone but certainly not forgotten. One of the old ride signs can still be spotted in the site compound near Go Ape, a small reminder of what once stood there. It also looks like a new concrete base has been poured for a site office — a sign that this project is going to be active for quite some time. Interestingly, this office might be used for future developments too, with the area around Tiger Rock now marked as a “future development space.”
A large wall has been installed around the front of the former Wild Asia area and painted a striking Minecraft green — an unusual but eye-catching choice! There’s still no official word yet on what the new area will become, but it’s certainly strange to see the site so flat and empty. So far, there are no major groundworks, but it’s clear that big changes are on the horizon.
Chessington Demolishes Wild Asia – Minecraft-Themed Transformation Ahead?
Saturday 12th July 2025
Wild Asia has now been completely demolished. All the theming, buildings, rides—even the iconic entrance portal—are gone. This follows weeks of deconstruction, marking the end of an era and the beginning of something new.
Rumours continue to swirl about what’s replacing it, with strong hints pointing towards a Minecraft-themed area. If true, this would include a brand-new indoor rollercoaster, the relocation of Kobra, and a new indoor flat ride—all major additions to the park's lineup.
Kobra isn’t going far, though. The beloved ride is being shifted slightly and has already been dismantled. Currently, you can spot the track and parts of the ride stored in the Explorer Car Park, safely behind fencing. For the best view, head to the top field near Go Ape—you'll get an up-close look at the iconic ride, waiting for its new home.
It's certainly surreal to see Wild Asia reduced to rubble—once a vibrant, immersive area now standing empty.
Demolition in Full Swing Chessington Wild Asia Is No More
Friday 20th June 2025
What was once one of Chessington’s most iconic areas is now almost completely gone. Since our last update, demolition has moved at lightning speed, with buildings across Wild Asia being swiftly torn down.
Work officially began on Monday, and in just a few short days, the heart of Wild Asia has been transformed into a construction zone. Only a few features remain—the central water fountain, the banyan tree, and the Temple of Mayhem.
Earlier this afternoon, the dodgems building and its themed entrance were completely dismantled.
Rumours suggest the area will soon be reborn with a Minecraft theme, and excitement is building. With a brand-new indoor rollercoaster on the way, this transformation promises to be one of the most thrilling yet!
Chessington Wild Asia Removal Update
Saturday 24th May 2025
The gradual removal of Chessington’s Wild Asia continues, with the most noticeable activity currently centered around the clearing of trees. While progress appears steady, there haven't been any major changes since the last update. A key visual reminder of the area’s past remains—a section of Kobra’s track still sits prominently in the middle of the site, hinting at what once was.
