Chessington World of Adventures invited us to the launch of Tiger Rock on 28th April, a water ride set within the multi-million pound Land of the Tiger, featuring an innovative enclosure and Europe’s first overhead trails.

The new attraction is home to four endangered Amur tigers, so we were excited about meeting the 'roar-some foursome' (Kalinka, Kyra, Olga and Tsar) as well as riding the log flume.

Chessington World of Adventures has now announced the opening date for new multi-million pound Land of the Tiger, featuring an innovative enclosure and Europe’s first overhead trails, all set to welcome the four endangered Amur Tigers.

The foursome – currently living in Sweden – will soon be making the big move to Land of the Tiger at the Surrey park, where their new specially designed home awaits that will allow the world’s largest tiger species freedom to roam with a cat’s-eye view of the whole area. 

New for 2017 at Chessington Howl'o'ween and with a 'three bat rating’, Creepy Caves Unearthed is said to be the scariest attraction yet.

Room on the Broom Spooky Story Time will also join the lineup in 2017, alongside the return of Curse of the Lost Tomb and Trick or Treat Wood.

Chessington World of Adventures has now applied for full planning permission to re-develop part of the Mystic East area of the park including the addition of three new interconnected animal enclosures and a re-theme of the Dragon Falls log flume as Tiger Rock.

The park's two existing Sumatran Tigers will be re-located to the brand new purpose built animal enclosures, with four new Amur Tigers joining them. 

The Gruffalo River Ride Adventure is now open at Chessington World of Adventures after a launch event that included a book signing with author Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler.

The Gruffalo is one of the UK's best-loved children's book characters and the story has been magically brought to life through a series of impressive sets featuring animatronics, projections, screens and music with various added effects including lighting, smoke, smells, sounds and water fountains.
