About Mandrill Mayhem
Mandrill Mayhem at Chessington World of Adventures is a Vekoma Suspended Thrill Coaster (STC) opened in 2024, themed to the World of Jumanji area. Riders sit with feet dangling and the layout includes a 100-foot drop, three inversions and several near-miss interactions with set pieces. Top speed 45 mph, ride duration about 75 seconds.
Mandrill Mayhem is currently Chessington's flagship coaster and the busiest ride in the park, with weekend queues commonly hitting 60-90 minutes. Best ridden at park opening or in the final hour - the throughput is moderate so queues clear slowly. The single-rider line is sometimes open and saves significant time when it is.
Mandrill Mayhem has averaged about 22 minutes of wait over recent weeks, and is typically busiest around 11am and quietest around 10am. Over the last two weeks it has been open around 92% of the park's operating hours. It's typically quietest on Fridays and busiest on Wednesdays.
