Caravan enthusiasts may be interested to hear that there is a new attraction at a popular theme park.
Chessington World of Adventure has added a new “land” called Wild Asia and intends to develop the site further by introducing the African Savannah Experience, which opens in June and will be populated by zebras, antelopes and other animals.
Based in Surrey, the amusement park opened for the summer season on March 27th having transformed Beano Land into the new attraction, which acts as an extension to Asia World.
PR manager Maria Hamilton revealed that the Wild Asia section “offers a whole experience for explorers wanting to immerse themselves in the culture, food and crumbling ruins of a lost Asian kingdom”.
Visitors can look forward to riding KOBRA, which operates on a 90-metre track and propels participants at speeds of up to 43 mph.
Meanwhile, seasonally adjusted figures from the Office for National Statistics show that the UK enjoyed a two per cent rise in visitor numbers in the three months to January 2010, compared to the previous quarter.
