Following a rip-roaring year in 2010, staff at Chessington World of Adventures are celebrating as the Surrey resort has been crowned UK Theme Park of the Year in the Theme Park and Visitor Attractions Awards 2010.

The award-winning resort undertook huge developments in 2010, including new ride, Kobra, and the opening of new ‘lands’ Wild Asia and the Africa-themed Wanyama Village & Reserve. As well as achieving record-breaking visitor growth numbers and industry-leading guest feedback scores in 2010, Chessington was also named Best Theme Park for Customer Service.

Chief Explorer, David Smith, said:

At Chessington, every day is a new adventure, but this fantastic accolade proves that the hard work, dedication, and endless passion of all our staff has really paid off. We are all extremely proud to be a part of “Britain’s Wildest Adventure”, but to be crowned the UK’s number 1 theme park realises our wildest dreams.
