Chessington World of Adventures is issuing a special invitation to young guests dressed in their most alluring vampire costumes in honour of this historic birthday celebration.
This unique event, which is only accessible on Friday, April 11th, offers the option to participate in a children’s fancy dress competition, with the winners receiving coveted Ultimate 8 Reserve & Ride passes.
Do you possess the skills necessary to be Chessington’s most eerily active vampire?
Vampire is one of those roller coasters that everyone knows and loves. It’s one of our most popular coasters, and what makes it so special is the nostalgia it brings. Every day we have visiting parents (and even grandparents!) reminisce about riding it when they were young. And now they have the opportunity to take their kids on one of their childhood favourite rides. This big birthday weekend is a fantastic opportunity for families to create more unforgettable memories, and we can’t wait to see our park filled with the excitement and creativity of our youngest guests.

Take Flight on Vampire
The competition is available to children aged 6 to 15 who are accompanied by an adult (18+) and can be entered by joining the Chessington team at the Safari Hotel at Chessington World of Adventures from 10:15 on Friday, April 11.
Four Ultimate 8 Reserve and Ride passes will be given to the winner and three other persons.
It is incredible to see the lasting impact Vampire has had over the past 35 years. From initially writing to Chessington Zoo’s director with the idea to transform the attraction into a theme park, to being the first to ride the Vampire track, the process and making-of Vampire has been a thrilling adventure in itself.
John Wardley – one of the world’s leading rollercoaster creators
I have always been fascinated with illusions and special effects, and this was something I really wanted to bring to life with Vampire – giving riders the opportunity to be fully immersed in the adventure. It was this inspiration that ultimately led to the revolutionary suspended track – with Vampire being the first roller coaster of its kind in the UK. It’s inspired coasters globally since.
On Friday, April 11, the famous Vampire rollercoaster will celebrate its 35th birthday. Since its historic debut as the first suspended roller coaster in Europe, it has delighted millions of people and captivated tourists with its drops, turns, and eerie haunted house elements.
