About Croc Drop
Croc Drop at Chessington World of Adventures is a 76-foot drop tower opened in 2021, themed to ancient Egypt and Sobek the crocodile god. Riders are lifted to the top, paused for a moment of suspense, then dropped in freefall. Total experience around 90 seconds including the lift. Lower height limit than typical thrill coasters, making it a good first 'serious' ride for older children.
Croc Drop queues are usually moderate at 15-35 minutes. The visible drop from the queue line builds anticipation - some riders find the wait more nerve-wracking than the drop itself. Capacity is good so queues move steadily.
