Major Theme Park Evacuated as Emergency Services Rush to the Scene
Police and sniffer dogs were seen at the park as officials said the circumstances remain unclear and urged the public not to speculate.
- On Sunday, Chessington World of Adventures was evacuated following reports of a "threat," with police and sniffer dogs observed patrolling the Leatherhead Road resort about 12 miles southwest of London.
- The evacuation follows a series of bomb threats targeting multiple European flights in recent days, with Western intelligence officials vigilant over suspected "hybrid warfare" operations that both Moscow and Tehran have strongly denied.
- Metropolitan Police urged the public not to speculate about the incident while enquiries remain ongoing; a visitor reported the evacuation was carried out in a "very quick and calm manner" despite the situation.
- Guests affected by the closure may use tickets at LEGOLAND Windsor or contact Customer Services for assistance after 2pm, as the resort urged visitors to follow staff instructions and "let the teams do their jobs."
- This marks the second occasion this year the theme park has been compelled to cease operations; earlier in the summer, the attraction suspended activities following a water supply failure affecting the surrounding area.
