World of PAW Patrol Nearly Ready to Open at Chessington

The World of PAW Patrol at Chessington is shaping up to be an exciting addition for the 2026 season, with the area now looking fantastic as the park reopens.

Construction fences around the land have now been removed, giving guests their first clear views of the area in weeks. Remaining fencing near Rattlesnake has been thoughtfully redesigned, featuring curved shapes and themed vinyls to better blend into the Forbidden Kingdom area—a nice and unexpected touch.

Across the land, a wide range of themed models have been installed, bringing the area to life. The flooring is also in the final stages of completion, helping to tie everything together visually.

All of the rides now appear to be fully installed. This includes the train for the rollercoaster Chase’s Mountain Mission and the iconic big red bus for Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue formerly Jungle Bus in Wild Asia, which has now been put into place.

While there has been no official confirmation, markings visible on sections of the rollercoaster track suggest that testing may already be underway.

An official opening date has yet to be announced, but the area is widely expected to open in May 2026. From what we’ve seen so far, this could be one of the best new areas Merlin has delivered in a long time.
