Under Merlin, Chessington has been increasingly developed into a resort tourist destination, including two on-site hotels, a high ropes course and camp site. Chessington Zoo has over 1,000 animals, including western lowland gorillas, sea lions, and Sumatran tigers. It is split up into several areas: Trail of the Kings, Sealion Bay, Children's Zoo, Amazu, Penguin Bay and the Wanyama Village and Reserve as well as a Sea Life Centre. Chessington World Of Adventures is usually the 4th most visited park in the UK with an attendance of 1.69m in 2019 however in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic and a shortened operating season along with limited park capacity the park had a huge drop in attendance and became the 3rd most visited park in 2020 behind Thorpe Park. Chessington World of Adventures theme park consists of themed areas loosely styled on a range of world cultures. Adventure Point is an English market square, Mexicana borrows from the Wild West, Shipwreck Coast a nautical adventure land, Wild Woods a European street with Bavarian architecture, Forbidden Kingdom mirrors Egypt and Arabia, while Land of the Tiger reflects the Far East, and Wild Asia an Indian jungle. Major attractions include: Vampire, Dragon's Fury, KOBRA, Tiger Rock, Scorpion Express, Zufari: Ride into Africa!, The Gruffalo River Ride Adventure and Croc Drop. (en)

  • Chessington World of Adventures is een attractiepark, dierentuin en een hotelcomplex dat ligt in Centraal-Londen, Engeland. Het park werd onder de naam Chessington Zoo geopend in 1931. Naast de dierentuin werd door The Tussauds Group een pretpark gebouwd. Het pretpark opende op 7 juli 1987 en was daarmee een van de eerste gethematiseerde pretparken in Engeland. Het park werd overgedragen aan Merlin Entertainments na de inkoop van The Tussauds Group in 2007. Onder het gezag van Merlin Entertainments, ontwikkelde Chessington zich steeds meer tot een toeristische bestemming. Chessington Zoo heeft meer dan duizend dieren, waaronder gorilla's, zeeleeuwen en tijgers. De dierentuin is opgesplitst in verschillende delen: Trail of the Kings, Sealion Bay, Children's Zoo, Amazu, Penguin Bay, de Wanyama Village & Reserve en Sea Life Centre. Chessington World of Adventures (pretpark) bestaat uit een paar gebieden gedecoreerd als verschillende wereldculturen. Het pretpark bestaat momenteel uit 10 gebieden waaronder: Adventure Point, Mystic East, Mexicana, Pirates' Cove, Wild Woods en Forbidden Kingdom. Land of the Dragons is in 2004 geopend voor kinderen, hoewel de intense spinning coaster Dragon's Fury er ook staat. In 2010 werd het gebied bekend als Beanoland vervangen door Wild Asia. Belangrijke attracties zijn onder andere: Dragon Falls, Vampire, The Gruffalo River Ride Adventure, Rameses Revenge, Dragon's Fury, KOBRA en Scorpion Express. (nl)
