Croc Drop
With the once fertile Nile laying stagnant, riders must take part in a ceremony to banish the evil spirits from Sobek by plunging 25m into the crocodile’s soul. Croc Drop provides a thrilling but fun dropping sensation, with floater airtime at the highest points. A commanding view of the park is provided at the top of the tower, along with a near-miss feeling when plunging into the Sobek’s giant jaws. The ride experience is further enhanced by a show sequence that features flashing lights, smoke effects, and an intense chanting soundtrack encouraging guests to “brave the drop, release the curse”.

Rattlesnake
Located in an infested sunken mine, Rattlesnake invites guests to board four-seater mine carts and is one of the park’s most wild roller coasters. With the queue line descending into the dugout mine, used in equal parts to form an immersive environment and to ensure the ride remains below tree level, guests walk under and between the track as carts rattle past at speed. On-board, this wild mouse style roller coaster begins by quickly climbing the lift hill, before travelling back and forth along its highest point, with sharp unbanked u-turns causing riders to be thrown side-to-side. The ride then picks up speed on sharp and sudden drops, hills, turns and brake runs, before arriving back at the station. Being one of the most extreme rides at Chessington, riders will really need to hold on for its duration.

Tomb Blaster
An interactive dark ride, Tomb Blaster challenges guests on a mission to battle an ancient curse. Sitting aboard long trains, with carriages that rotate to view the various scenes, riders use the provided laser blasters to shoot at illuminated targets within the ride. Guests must do their best to avoid or shoot at snakes, ghostly assassins and ancient monsters. The scenes were originally designed for the previous version of the ride, Terror Tomb, which told the story of a tour guide called Abdab who was attempting to steal the ancient jewels from the tomb.
