It’s like Merlin knew you were having a baby! Chessington getting a new family land with a new junior rollercoaster as well as a new Minecraft land plus Alton Towers getting a new CBeebies Land rollercoaster - talk about perfect timing 😂
Loved my Christmas present my cameo from you !!! Really made my Christmas, thank you Shawn and Charlotte and bump your vlogs always brighten my day xxxxxxxx❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think rattle should be included in the area with tomb blaster and croc drop, that way it could connect that side of the park, if they are smart they could also redo rattles queue and use some rameses revenges queue and link it to the lower part which would make a bit of space where the existing queue is, but no clue what could possibly go on a slanted space like that. As for project play I agree with some of the other comments where it could be a paw patrol themed area which makes sense from the blueprints. Merlin are definitely starting to get weary of universal.
Hi There, a great update, it's just a shame that they're replacing Scorpion Express with a junior rollercoaster rather than refurbishing it or replacing it with a similar model. Kind regards Peter p.s. I agree about the fact that they should be a lot more creative rather than go down the IP route.
I had a great Christmas although I had to work that morning. As a healthcare worker, we don’t get holidays off. But at least I got time-and-a-half pay. It’s nice to see Merlin adding and re-theming their parks. Hopefully I can get to Chessington when I visit the UK in a couple of years.
Hope you all had a great Christmas! As much as it's good to see Merlin invest in these new attractions, I struggle to get excited about it now as I just don't trust them to keep them maintained and working 😢 Great video as always!
The IP For This Area Is Rumoured To Be Paw Patrol. That's What I Heard From People On Twitter And That Bridge Near The Small Beach In The Area Looks Like Adventure Bay And Its Near The Coaster's Entrance And The Entrance Façade Looks Like The Lookout Tower From The TV Show. (If I'm Wrong, That's Fine! I Like Speculation)
Completely agree with the speculation if you look closely on the plans as well the entrance to the ride says to have a slide which goes well with the lookout tower idea! And the big building looks a bit like the town hall in paw patrol in the plans 😂 (like you said if wrong it’s just speculation 😂)
@@ThemeParkWorldwide wouldn't this be difficult as Blackpool has nickelodeon ip and paw patrol is a meet and greet there can't see Amanda letting it go so easy
Merry Christmas from yesterday, Shawn. 🎄🎄🎅🏻🎁⛄️❄️❄️❄️ Great update from Chessington World of Adventures, I think that Project Play, with a new Junior coaster and themed area, sounds like a nice addition to the park. As for the theme, I'd go with “Animal Treasure Island”, an original one that Merlin Entertainment created for Gardaland. Also, in the next few years, I think we could see The Gruffalo River Adventure be reverted into a new version of Bubbleworks. I'm just saying, but it's a possibility.
Merlin has just created this new original IP called “Animal Treasure Island” and they’re using it for the first time at Gardaland in the new ride for next year. In the press release they’ve confirmed this brand is gonna come to other Merlin’s parks so I guess the new area for Chessington might be themed to that.
Ofc they arent major coasters. But merlins done good here. Chessington and alton did need these types of rides, im glad both parks are getting them. Next steps could possibly be some very small flat rides at alton though. Would like to see the world of david walliams get a coaster next though. As for chessington, they seem to be in a really good spot.
I would love to see a vekoma family suspended coaster in the world of David walliams or a really well themed water coaster with an indoor section. Would definitely retheme that whole area though to match whatever project horizon will be
It’s ashame that parks are losing original themes and going for IPs but in this current modern day, it’s what gets the guests in! And what with Universal, it’s gonna be the best way to fight it!
Also Shawn I know you mentioned it on your stream but yes you should definitely make a P.O. Box I think you would get lots of thing from me and everybody ❤
I’m so glad they’re investing so much money to Chessington. It’s our local park and I feel like they’ve really let it full into disrepair lately. Lots of rides down and things not working on them. Really hope they invest some money on their existing rides too especially Tomb Blaster. We’ve genuinely got stuck on there about 5 times now🤦🏼♀️
Hi Shawn I’m going to chesington this season because I got a platinum anual pass for Christmas so hopefully I might see you at some parks also I’m going to Europa park at Easter ❤
How do IPs work from a business perspective? Do the theme parks have to pay to use the IP? Or is it a mutually beneficial agreement as it's good for the theme park while also promoting the IP?
Hi what advice would you give for someone who might want to get into similar type work as yourselves and for someone who is starting from scratch as I bet that would make some excellent collaboration between us both ?
If there had a Minecraft themed coaster I would definitely go for Stampy themed the train being orange and white and has a little Minecraft Stampy cat on the zero train at the front.
Great news update video Shawn from Chessington World of Adventures have revealed more details about Project Play, a NEW Junior roller coaster and themed area planned to replace the majority of Mexicana for 2026. In this video I take a detailed look at the plans, that include the new roller coaster, 3 flat rides and much more! keep news the good videos coming on the channel,Shawn. 😀👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hay, I am looking to do some parks in Mainland UK during the summer with my daughter. She is going to be 6 and around 1.1m in height. We are from NI so have done emerald park the last two years so was looking to set it up a bit this year. What parks would you recommend for her age/height to get the most for money. I was thinking Chessington and LEGOLAND!? over 2/3 days? Will probably not have a car as boat prices is crazy dear. Thanks Dave
I hope they can sort this park out. Every time I have been in the last few years, almost nothing is open. Still not ridden MM or Croc Drop and not gotten on Rattlesnake in many years lol.
Probably doesn't need to be said but you don't need to spend top dollar and jetset all over the world all the time to do vlogs, video formats like these were you simply have a cosy chat are just as awesome. Top tens, reviews, news, mini docus, topics like what theme park crazy cover but with your own view would be interesting.
Like it not IPs are very powerful if done right can get crowds in look at Disney, Universal even Cbeebies Land always busy, and IP does fit in with World of Adventures my one hope is like with Curse at Alton Manor we see a new take on Professor Burps Bubbleworks
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Exactly, we are UK/British and should develop more original content like we used to. When we get Universal Bedford with IPs that is totally understandable! for me the 80's/90's were the golden era for these.
Personally I think Rattlesnake needs to go, I would sacrifice both scorpion express and Rattlesnake for 1 really decent new thrill coaster but I don’t think that is on the cards. Rattlesnake is just really uncomfortable and it often gets voted as one of the worst rollercoasters in the UK. I’ll be happy to see it go, it’s had its time along with monkey swinger because I’ve heard that’s going and I never really cared for that ride either.
For the IP I sadly have to say it’s probably gonna be another peppa pig world again which is exciting for children living in the area of Cwoa and Merlin making money but less great for Paultons park cause they have a peppa pig world so it will make less profit for Paultons and more people going to Cwoa.
I’ve been to Peppa Pig World in Florida and in Paultons Park, and let me just say how good Paultons Parks looks compared to the one in Florida, it is such a shame if that was to happen as I can already guarantee it won’t be nowhere near as good as Paultons, nobody can match it.
As much as Merlin would love to do that it can't as Paultons park has the exclusive rights for Peppa Pig in the UK. So it will definitely NOT be Peppa Pig themed.
It’s like Merlin knew you were having a baby! Chessington getting a new family land with a new junior rollercoaster as well as a new Minecraft land plus Alton Towers getting a new CBeebies Land rollercoaster - talk about perfect timing 😂
Great to see plenty of new investments coming in!
Ill definitley miss the tacoteria which is never open
Happy to see that go!
3:59 looks to be a mirrored clone of farmyard flyer at paultons judging by the supports and track layout
It does look very similar!
Loved my Christmas present my cameo from you !!! Really made my Christmas, thank you Shawn and Charlotte and bump your vlogs always brighten my day xxxxxxxx❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Wow! Seems that there’s a lot of exciting news about each of the Merlin parks! Can’t wait for the updates in the future! Great video as usual too!❤
Lot’s to follow which is exciting!
Merry Christmas from yesterday Mr Sanbrooke.

Let’s hope we see them improve the overall maintenance and reliability moving forwards
I'm calling it. The coaster is a Zierer Force One - the same model that is at Heide Park for Indy-Blitz
Possibly so!

I believe it might be CoComelon, as that IP has had a presence at Chessington.
@josh0108 it would be huge if they did go with cocomelon a world 1st and it's by far the most watched show ever on Netflix
It certainly was with my parents and grandma, yesterday.
Hope you had a lovely day!

How do IPs work from a business perspective? Do the theme parks have to pay to use the IP? Or is it a mutually beneficial agreement as it's good for the theme park while also promoting the IP?
Usually the parks pay to have them!
Hello guys I think that Chessington World 🌎 Of Adventures is definitely going into the right direction for there new rides future coming.
Hi what advice would you give for someone who might want to get into similar type work as yourselves and for someone who is starting from scratch as I bet that would make some excellent collaboration between us both ?
We would recommend trying to create your own unique style and just have fun with it all too!
What editing software do you use?
Also what editing software would you say is good for someone who has never done any editing before?
We use Sony Vegas as I’ve found it easy for years!
It’s definitely an exciting project with some new stuff, but wish it was an original project instead of an IP.
Definitely
I'm also thinking that a Paw Patrol IP would be great, but like someone said it's Nickelodeon, so it probably would not happen.
Maybe so!
My first though was Paw Patrol as a theme, but that's Nickelodeon, so probably not.
Possibly so
Happy Boxing Day 😎👍
NEW 2026 Roller Coaster & Area Planned For Chessington World of
Theme Park Worldwide love louis shirley
If there had a Minecraft themed coaster I would definitely go for Stampy themed the train being orange and white and has a little Minecraft Stampy cat on the zero train at the front.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Can you believe it is nearly the end of 2024.
Crazy!
I find it crazy how fast this year has gone by! I feel like it was just New Year’s Eve!

Shame about scorpion express but it’s for the best sadly it will be remembered. Look forward to see what could replace it!! 🥳🥳
I hope they can sort this park out. Every time I have been in the last few years, almost nothing is open. Still not ridden MM or Croc Drop and not gotten on Rattlesnake in many years lol.
I hope that ride availability improves
Just watch the entry price go up to .
I’m sure prices will increase, but it’s good to see investment coming in
The junior coaster might be a clone of Indy Blitz in Heide Park 😊
Possibly so!
Personally I think it could be Paddington but not 100% sure
Chessington World of IPs
It seems that way now!

I'm looking forward to all of these new updates it's going to be pretty sick anyway take care Shawn god bless
Looking forward to seeing what happens!
Like it not IPs are very powerful if done right can get crowds in look at Disney, Universal even Cbeebies Land always busy, and IP does fit in with World of Adventures my one hope is like with Curse at Alton Manor we see a new take on Professor Burps Bubbleworks
Why another IP, why can't it just be an original idea like back in the day-we already have had IP with Jumanji 18 months ago!
I do miss the days of original themes and ideas!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Exactly, we are UK/British and should develop more original content like we used to.
When we get Universal Bedford with IPs that is totally understandable!
for me the 80's/90's were the golden era for these.
