We know 2025 is a transitional year for Chessington with Mexicana closed as it makes way for Project Play, a new (Paw Patrol rumoured) themed area opening in 2026 with new kids coaster and 3 flat rides and closes Wild Asia to make way for the 2027 Minecraft Land which will see a new indoor coaster and flat rides.
It was surprising to learn a few weeks ago that despite planning permission not being granted that Wild Asia would not open at all for 2025 but good news for Chessington…on Wednesday their local council unanimously voted to approve Project Refresh and Renew which means the park can now begin completely flattening the area of the park which has previously been known as Circus World, Beanoland and Wild Asia ready for Minecraft land.
All in all it’s a really exciting time for Chessington and I will certainly be visiting in 2027 although I’m still disappointed they’re going down the IP route rather than unique themes as I do think it takes away from the park but I’m sure Paw Patrol and Minecraft will draw in plenty of new visitors!
