Scorpion Express, Steel roller coaster in Chessington World of Adventures, United Kingdom
Scorpion Express is a steel roller coaster at Chessington World of Adventures with a figure-eight track layout and brown-colored supports. The ride covers approximately 245 meters with two-person seating in most of its train cars.
The coaster debuted in 1987 as Rocky Mountain and underwent a complete overhaul in 2014 with new theming and mechanical upgrades. This transformation gave the ride its current scorpion concept and updated mechanical systems.
The ride features a mining theme with metalwork scorpion decorations and radio broadcasts about a fictional mining operation. Visitors encounter this playful mining setting as part of their experience on the coaster.
Children under 90 centimeters tall can ride with an adult, while those over 110 centimeters can ride independently. It is advisable to check at the entrance for any current restrictions or conditions before riding.
The front car of the coaster has an unusual single-row design that sets it apart from all other cars. This special configuration makes riding in the front car a different experience than the rest of the train.
