The £17M ‘World of Jumanji’ attraction, set inside the Chessington World of Adventures Resort, ‘deep dives into the adventurous, action-packed stories seen in the box-office-hit Jumanji films’.
Billed as the theme park’s ‘wildest adventure yet for families’, the new land features the world’s only Jumanji roller coaster and two more rides – ‘Mamba Strike’ and ‘Ostrich Stampede’ – based on the film franchise.
Visitors are encouraged to follow in the footsteps of the film series’ characters as they try to ‘locate the Jaguar’s Eye Jewel, lift the curse and save Jumanji’ during their time in the themed land. To get inside, visitors pass through an entrance portal that’s ‘shrouded in the ominous and overgrown Jumanji jungle’.
Alongside the three new rides, there are other Jumanji-themed activities to explore, including a maze of pathways reminiscent of the board game from the original 1995 Jumanji film, starring Robin Williams and a young Kirsten Dunst.
