Chessington World of Adventures | History | 1987-2019

Chessington has a long history since the 14th century and this video shows the progression of the park, from a zoo to a theme park. In the comment section of this video share your memories of the park since 1987.
I am aware many of the clips used don't belong to me and have been used for 'educational purposes'. Sources for most of the clips can be found in the following links... • CHESSINGTON WORLD OF A... , / themeparkworldwide,https: & / powerstowersproducti

Obviously, Chessington isn't the only park with an interesting and complex history, so expect to find history videos of Thorpe Park, Alton Towers, LEGOLAND Windsor and more in the future.

My mum worked there in the second world war, as my grandfather knew Mr Goddard the Chessington Zoo owner. She was apparently the only member of staff who wasn't on the animal side, as there were no supplies for the tearoom or ice creams etc. Even though larger animals were evacuated it remained a popular place to visit as it was one of the few places that had camera film, so families went there to get a photo to send to their service members posted abroad

Good video mate. Something tells me that 2020 wasn't so good for Chessington... Gutted when they removed the Monorail! First ride I ever went on.

[@PriyaPrabhuVlogs]

superb theme park

[@mikekaraoke]

I know you posted this a very long 4 years ago now, and see people corrected you on: Safari skyway actually opening in 1986 not Summer of 1987 when you said!
Also you forgot to add in: Toadies Crazy Cars opening in 1987!

Theme team can you rank the 4 merlin parks from worst to best how would you rank.

[@TeamTheme]

Possibly

[@haribo6344]

An amendment - Safari skyway actually opened in a 1986 a year before the rest of 'world of adventures' as a precursor to what was ahead.

[@TeamTheme]

Thanks for the clarification

Singing happy birthday to pectin

[@mychuckyromance9707]

Were any of the hocus pocus Hall items auctioned off after its closure?

[@TeamTheme]

I don't think so

[@rose-byte]

Could I have a shoutout in next video?

Hey dan, when is the next video?

[@TeamTheme]

The next vid will probably be uploaded next week sometime, it’s been taking a long time to edit.

[@Timr2]

Safari Skyway opened in 1986, to show the construction of the park.

[@TeamTheme]

I didn’t realise that, thanks for the info!

[@Timr2]

Thank you, your channel is amazing!

africa is now the rainforest

[@TeamTheme]

Yup

[@blackpanthe25ishot90]

1300?!?

[@TeamTheme]

The reason why I put 1300s to 2019 in the title, is because at the start of the video I go to the beginning of the burnt stub mansion's construction which happened to be in the 14th century.
