Set to open in spring 2023, this £17 million development is the largest ever investment in the resort’s history, bringing together entertainment and industry experts from around the world to create an experience which recreates the adventurous stories seen in the two Jumanji films. 

Impressions of how the new space will look show an entrance portal shrouded in overgrown foliage, with a Jaguar Shrine structure standing at 55 ft tall as its centrepiece. 

More details about the rides, attractions and experiences guests can expect to discover in the World of Jumanji are to be shared over the coming months.
