Ostrich Stampede

Get ready to bounce into the chaos of the desert, because Ostrich Stampede brings one of World of Jumanji’s wildest moments to life. Opening in 2023 at Chessington World of Adventures, alongside the land, this lively attraction invites guests to take on a herd of runaway ostriches on a fast, fun, and energetic ride.

At first glance, the ride may look playful. However, Ostrich Stampede is an SBF Visa Super Jumper ride, often compared to a “jumping frog” style attraction. That means one thing—plenty of airtime-filled bouncing. As your vehicle begins to move, it quickly builds into a series of rhythmic hops, lifting you up and dropping you down in quick succession.

Meanwhile, the theming draws straight from the Jumanji films, specifically the unforgettable desert stampede scene. During that sequence, Dr Smoulder Bravestone accidentally provokes a single ostrich. What follows is complete mayhem, as the bird returns with an entire herd in pursuit. The group races across the desert in dune buggies, narrowly escaping again and again. Eventually, they leap across a cliff edge, leaving the flightless birds unable to follow.

That same sense of frantic escape is captured perfectly here. As the ride gets going, you’ll feel like you’ve been dropped right into the middle of the chase. The bouncing motion mirrors the uneven terrain, while the spinning adds an extra layer of disorientation. Furthermore, the surrounding theming helps build the illusion, placing you firmly within Jumanji’s dusty, danger-filled landscape.

Although it delivers plenty of thrills, Ostrich Stampede remains a fantastic ride. The experience feels accessible, yet still exciting enough to keep riders coming back for more. In addition, its energetic pace makes it a perfect contrast to the nearby larger attractions.

Ultimately, Ostrich Stampede is all about controlled chaos. It’s fast, it’s bouncy, and above all, it’s a whole lot of fun. So, if you’re ready to take on the herd, climb aboard and hold on tight—because in Jumanji, even a simple ride can turn into a full-blown stampede.
