In just 7 days' time, Chessington's newest area called World Of Jumanji will open its doors to the public. We’ve followed this project since it was a design on a set of plans, just a field full of grass and now it’s a fully themed area. With a world-class rollercoaster and two flat rides, along with beautiful theming and more surprises to be found along the way.
We thought we’d take one last look at the area before it opens next Monday to the public.
Since our last look at the new area, entrance signs have been installed for all of the attractions in the area. Along with ride restrictions boards, and digital queue time signs. The signs for each attraction are very unique and are very different from each other. No boring vinyl signs here!
Around the entire area, lots of plants have been installed transforming the area into a jungle.
Lots of speakers have also been installed around the area. At the beginning of the day, we could hear music testing for the area with an announcement going off at the entrance portal every 10 minutes. Saying welcome to the area and fun little games and facts from doctor bravestone.
At the entrance into the area, the entrance portal has been themed and a sign installed welcoming you into The World Of Jumanji. Even during the day today work was continuing to finish the structure with vines being fitted to it. Sticking to the artwork, in the top corners of the entrance portal signs have been added. It’s all about the small details!
Digital signage has been added to one of the food and beverage units which appears to still be a work in progress with test text added to it. But it gives us a glimpse as to what food you will be able to buy within the area.
There’s lots of cool new theming added to the area since our last trip such as “Warning Mandrills” within the station and the addition of white Talley marks added within the op console of the ride.
On the grass verge near Ostrich Stampede, a sign has been added saying “It's A Stampede” which can be seen when queuing for the ride.
The bazaar area also looks beautiful from what we can see from the path. We can see this area being very photogenic. A new photo wall for trip photos to Chessington!
Looking for a drink? Another Coke Freestyle unit has been installed in the area. Just look out for the rustic Coke sign and the gas pumps. We wonder if there will be a limited edition Jumanji-themed bottle.
The pathway previously used for Vile Villagers has also reopened. Revealing a new view of the new area not seen for a few months. The back side of the station isn’t themed but over time when the plants grow this should be too much of an issue.
Join us Saturday from 2 pm as we live blog and document the press launch of The World Of Jumanji.
