Croc Drop, Chessington

Croc Drop is a daring drop tower ride that opened in 2021 at Chessington World of Adventures, plunging riders into the heart of an ancient temple cursed by the gods.

Brave the Drop and Release the Curse! The ride’s slogan sets the tone for this thrilling adventure. Possessed by evil spirits, Sobek, the Egyptian Crocodile God, has cast a curse on the Forbidden Kingdom. Riders must join a ceremony to banish these spirits, plunging 25 meters into Sobek’s giant jaws to lift the curse.

The ride’s exceptional theming transports riders to ancient Egypt from the moment they approach. After boarding, the ride lifts them to the top of the tower, offering stunning park views. The anticipation builds with ominous music below, culminating in an exhilarating drop that provides a few seconds of weightlessness. Hydraulic rams and brakes control the unique drop pattern, ensuring a smooth descent.

Croc Drop has quickly become one of Chessington’s most popular rides, combining thrilling drops and immersive theming for an unforgettable experience.
