New for 2021: Croc Drop

New for 2021: Croc Drop

Experience a brand new 25-metre drop tower ride in the Forbidden Kingdom at Chessington World of Adventures in 2021.

Based on Sobek, the ancient Egyptian Crocodile God, riders will freefall into the 12-metre high jaws of a crocodile.

The new ride has been manufactured by SBF Visa Group and can accommodate 16 people at a time.

Brave the drop, release the curse!


Set to ‘drop’ in spring 2021, those brave enough will plunge 25 metres into the giant jaws of a crocodile, Sobek, the ancient Egyptian Crocodile God and protector of the Nile, who has been possessed by evil spirits, transforming him into a cruel deity. With the once fertile Nile laying stagnant, riders must take part in a ceremony to banish the evil spirits from Sobek, plunging into the crocodile’s soul and freeing the water’s back into the Nile.

Those between 1.2 metres and 1.3 metres tall must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 16, while those a minimum height of 1.3 metres can ‘drop’ alone.
