Chessington World of Adventures Shut Down Due to Water Supply Failure

Chessington World of Adventures was forced to close

Chessington World of Adventures was forced to close its gates on Monday after a sudden interruption in the local water supply made it impossible to operate essential facilities. The park, located in southwest London, announced the closure early in the day, citing health and safety concerns as the primary reason for the decision.

A spokesperson for the attraction explained that without a reliable water source, they could not guarantee the proper functioning of restrooms, food outlets, or ride safety systems. The issue was traced to a problem in the area’s water network, which also affected nearby businesses and residents, according to the local water authority.

Visitors who had purchased tickets for Monday were notified through the park’s website and social media channels. In a statement, Chessington assured guests that all tickets dated for the closure day would be automatically valid for any future opening date within the next 12 months, with no need to rebook or pay extra.

The park’s management apologized for the inconvenience and said they are working closely with the water company to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. They also mentioned that they hope to reopen on Tuesday, pending a full restoration of services and a thorough safety check.

Local authorities have not yet provided a timeline for the water repair, but engineers were dispatched to the site shortly after the problem was reported. Meanwhile, Chessington advised visitors to check its official channels for updates before planning their visit.
