Mexicana Fades Away at Chessington

The old Mexicana restaurant has been partially demolished, and inside the remaining building, internal walls have now been stripped out.

Meanwhile, the buildings in the small zoo area are still standing — but not for much longer, as further demolition work is expected soon.

You can still spot part of the old Scorpion Express queue line, although it now looks very out of place among the cleared areas. The Scorpion Express photo booth has also been removed, though interestingly, the "Scorpion Express This Way" signage is still standing... but for how much longer remains to be seen.

Ground works for the new development aren’t far off now, with vertical construction anticipated to begin around September. Exciting changes are on the horizon for this corner of the park!
