History
Safari Skyway was opened in 1986, as one of the first rides at Chessington World of Adventures Resort along with Dragon Falls.[2] Safari Skyway's entrance is in the Market Square area, and the monorail gives a guided tour of the zoo, lawn and mansion area.
Description
The ride takes approximately 10mins,[3] and the maximum height is 1.96 meters. Riders under 1.1 meters must be accompanied by someone 16 or over.[1] The ride passes such features as the Chessington Zoo, overlooking Sea Lions Bay and other areas. It first passes by the smaller animals, around the Sea Life Centre and near the Lodge Gate entrance. The ride continues passing nearby (but not directly above) the gorillas, lions and sea lions before returning to the station via the theme park.name="coasterforcesafariskyway"/>
