Theme Park
Chessington World of Adventures Resort was one of the pioneering parks in the UK’s theme park industry. Being one of the very first in the country to be built upon a foundation of theming, theatricality and an impressive selection of immersive rides. The development of this park in the ’90s was one of brilliance. Growing from a failing zoo into one of the UK’s most loved theme parks.
Paving the way for the rapid growth of the Tussauds group, the profits, ideas and people involved with the initial developments at Chessington then went off to work on other projects. Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and some of the other UK theme parks owe a lot to the ideas of Chessington. This special little park helped shape the UK theme park industry as we know it.
