Land of the Dragons
Step into the Land of the Dragons at Chessington World of Adventures Resort and you’ll find a colourful world bursting with energy, imagination and family adventure. Opening in 2004 after nearly two years of teasing, this vibrant land replaced much of the former Toy Town area and the Action Man Training HQ. As a result, it introduced a fresh, fantasy-driven space designed with younger explorers firmly in mind.
From the moment you enter, the land feels alive. Bright buildings stretch upwards, while rope walkways and canopy bridges criss-cross overhead. Meanwhile, detailed rockwork and lush planting bring the space together, creating a playful, almost cartoon-like setting.
At the centre of it all is Dragon’s Fury. This spinning roller coaster twists and turns its way around the land, weaving through pathways and attractions. As a result, it becomes both a ride and a spectacle, adding constant motion and excitement. However, it’s just one part of a much wider experience.
Elsewhere, the land offers a fantastic mix of attractions for all ages. Younger guests can set sail on Sea Dragons or enjoy the gentle sway of Griffin’s Galleon. Meanwhile, Canopy Capers invites adventurers to climb high above the ground through a network of bridges and treehouses.
The area itself also has an interesting past. Part of the original Toadie’s Crazy Cars ride was shortened to make room for Dragon’s Fury and its station. Therefore, the land not only brought something new but also reshaped what came before it.
Of course, every adventure needs a moment to pause. Dragon’s Lair Café offers a cosy spot to relax with a drink or snack while the action continues nearby. Consequently, it’s easy to balance high-energy fun with a well-earned break.
Ultimately, the Land of the Dragons delivers a complete family experience. It blends thrills, play and imagination into one lively space. So, whether you’re soaring on a coaster or exploring above the canopy, there’s always a new adventure waiting just around the corner.
