Chessington History

Welcome to the history of Chessington, the most comprehensive Chessington history guide.

For over 25 years UK Theme Parks has by many ways tried to ensure that the history of Chessington has been preserved for all to see. We strive to keep track of the parks progress year by year with rare pictures, maps and information all provided.

Opening back in 1987 Chessington has a rich history of rides and attractions, all preserved here on UK Theme Parks.

Use the menu on the right to skip to an old attraction which is now retired or go year by year below, detailing the history of the park. This site has been covering Chessington for over 20 years and I hope you enjoy the history of such a wonderful park.
