Halloween Star Wars Fun at Chessington Park
October 03, 2006

[ Halloween Star Wars Fun at Chessington Park ]Feel the Force this October at Chessington World of Adventures outside of London, England. From Oct. 6 through 31, the park will feature a Jedi Training Academy, live-action stage shows, stormtroopers on patrol, and chance to "ride in the dark" with late opening hours.

In the United Kingdom's first all interactive Jedi Training Academy (organized by Weird and Wonderful Productions), fans can take a masterclass where Jedi apprentices are instructed in the art of the Jedi Knights, learning some impressive lightsaber moves. Fans will also be treated to a live-action show on the Market Square stage, featuring Darth Vader, Jedi Knights and stormtroopers demonstrating their skills in a dramatic rendition of good versus evil.

Meet Wicket the Ewok (Warwick Davis) on Oct. 7 and 8. On Halloween, visitors will be greeted by patrolling stormtroopers and will have plenty of picture opportunities with unforgettable visitors and props from that far-away galaxy, including Darth Vader, various Jedi Knights, R2-D2 and even a X-wing.

Dragon's Tale Theatre is going to the dark side, with a specially adapted puppet show featuring Chessington's resident dragons Spike and Cinders acting out their favorite characters. The usual tricks and treats are expected in Beanoland including daily fancy dress competition where kids are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite Halloween or Star Wars characters.
