Circus World was my favourite section of the park. When I was a child, I used to run to Circus World, every time we visited Chessington World of Adventures in the school holidays. I remember being sad, when they closed the area off in 1995, but the circus itself remained in Chessington until 1998.

Wow amazing footage! Especially of Fifth Dimension and the Black Forest Chateau! I would have visited the park with my family for the first time around 91/92 but don’t remember it as I was a toddler, so this is great to see how the park has changed. It’s a great park today but I feel it has something extra special back then. Very professionally shot video and a wonderful look back in time, thank you!

Thank you for posting this, watching this video in 2023 really brings back how fun Chessington was thirty years ago. 1991….such a different world altogether, this was the year my family and I first went to Chessington, we went every year until 2004. I’d forgotten that there was a picnic area! That went in the mid 90s i think. nothing like being a kid in the 90s and early 2000s

Ah I miss those days, I would've been 11 in 1991. I think the park started going downhill as soon as they started adding "Sponsored by XXX" and "Presented by XXX" to all the popular rides. It started to become more and more commercialized, especially when they neglected Professor burps and so many animatronics started to break down and were never fixed The last time I went back in the mid 90's they'd removed that gorgeous sweet smell from the ride and soon after it became the stupid soap bubble ride sponsored by that soap company All the magic was gone from that point for me. Even as a kid and later a teenager, I couldn't fathom why they would neglect much loved rides like that despite charging astronomical prices for the park fee, not to mention the food/drink prices. Typical greed.
