Mandrill Mayhem at RCDB

Mandrill Mayhem is a launched, steel shuttle wing coaster located at Chessington World of Adventures in Chessington, United Kingdom. The ride was designed by Swiss rollercoaster manufacturers Bolliger & Mabillard, and is located in the World of Jumanji section of the park, themed to the Jumanji film and book franchise. A consultation for the ride took place in May 2021, and the coaster opened two years later on the 15th May 2023. The last row faces backwards.[1]

The 1,247-foot-long (380 m) ride stands 66 feet (20 m) tall and features one inversion – an inline twist, two LSM launches, a junior scorpion tail spike and a 405° spiral rollback. Riders experience speeds of up to 45 mph (72 km/h). The trains are stylized as mandrill monkeys holding the riders in their arms. The ride features a single train with 7 cars. Riders are arranged 4 across in a single row for a total of 28 riders, making for a theoretical capacity of 840 guests per hour.[2]

Guests between 1.2m and 1.3m must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 16, while those a minimum height of 1.3m can ride alone.[3] The ride sits alongside two other attractions, manufactured by the Italian SBF Visa Group, Ostrich Stampede (a ‘Jump & Smile’ model) and Mamba Strike (a ‘Miami’ flat ride).[4]

Mandrill Mayhem is the only Bolliger & Mabillard installation in the world that does not form a complete circuit.
