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.
Croc Drop has averaged about 18 minutes of wait over recent weeks, and is typically busiest around 12pm and quietest around 4pm. Over the last two weeks it has been open around 97% of the park's operating hours. It's typically quietest on Mondays and busiest on Saturdays.
