Foundations Begin for Chessington 2027 Big Investment

Chessington’s next big investment, set to open in 2027, is already well underway — and signs point to it being one of the park’s largest projects yet. Recent construction photos show extensive groundwork and foundation digging for what appears to be a large show building alongside a new rollercoaster layout. Heavy machinery is on-site, and early concrete work suggests the structure will feature both indoor and outdoor elements.

Although it’ll likely be some time before track installation begins, the visible progress is exciting for fans. The area under development occupies a sizeable space, indicating a major new themed land may be in the works.

There’s growing speculation that the attraction could be Minecraft-themed, which would be a first for any Merlin Entertainments park. If true, the combination of Minecraft’s creativity and Chessington’s family-focused storytelling could make this one of the most unique additions in the park’s history.
