Chessington Minecraft Coaster Goes Vertical as Track and Supports Are Installed

The Minecraft coaster has now gone vertical, and track and supports for the new Minecraft themed roller coaster have now been delivered, with some currently being stored in the grass car park.

Big and exciting times at Chessington World of Adventures. Even more excitingly, supports for the indoor section of the roller coaster have started to be installed. The launch section appears to run beneath the large structure, which would explain why this part of the track has been installed first. There are no visible signs of launch components just yet.

Green supports can be seen stored in the field alongside black supports. It is expected that the green supports will be used for the outdoor section of the coaster, while the black supports and track will form the indoor section.

During a short visit to the park today, three sections of track were spotted already installed. Two smaller sections appear to have a gap left between them, which suggests they could form part of the maintenance bay at the side of the ride. One longer section could form part of the station or possibly a dark ride section. It already looks fantastic, and it is exciting to think about how much more track and support installation we will see over the coming weeks and months.

The structure of supports already in place appears to form a U turn in the layout, possibly wrapping around a central themed feature, which could be part of an indoor dark ride section.

It is always thrilling to see track rising into the sky.
