    (10/30/09) Chessington’s 2010 redo of Beanoland now has a name and logo on display in the park. It will be called “Wild Asia”. Some have also guessed that given the artwork shown, that the new Disk’O Coaster is likely to be given a Cobra theme.
    (10/15/09) I’ve been sent a little info about the renovation of the former Beanoland area. The plan is to give it all a jungle Aztec style ruins theme. The current themeing of the area will be removed, along with many of the attractions, which will be sent off for refurbishment and to be rethemed to fit the new theme where possible. The new Disk’O coaster ride will be placed on the current Dodgem site. The rethemed Wave Swinger will go back into the same location, the Dodgems will go near where the Splatupults and Fizz & Bump Catering unit was. The Crazy Bus will be put back in place of the Loony Ladder. A new animal walk-through area will be installed in the back of the area. The entrance to the land is thought to be placed near the Dragon’s Fury queue entrance where the Snapping Crocodiles are.
    (7/22/09) Plans and applications for a massive renovation of Beanoland can be found here. They talk about moving and rethemeing existing structures, installing a new “disc ride” (aka: Disk’O Coaster), adding a bird walkthrough enclosure and more. Great drawings can be seen here that indicate that the land will be rethemed to the ruins of some ancient civilization.

2010 - African Savannah Experience - (3/29/10) A reader visiting Chessington saw it mentioned on the new park maps that a new African Savannah Experience would be opening in June 2010. Asking park employees a bit more about this they were informed that this was the start of a new long term project to create new animal attractions at the park. This new area will open somewhere behind the hotel, but the plan is to expand it over into the park itself. Following that the long term plan is said to be to open another large themed area based on “America”.
