Scorpion Express

About

Scorpion Express (originally the Runaway Train) was a mine train themed powered roller coaster at Chessington World of Adventures in Greater London, England. It opened with the theme park in 1987 as the Runaway Train. The original ride was closed in 2012 for refurbishment and reopened on 14 March 2014, with the same track layout but new name and theming.

Scorpion Express is set in a small mining village, featuring an animated metalwork scorpion. Scorpion Express closed in July 2022 following a fire, and, as of September 2024, it was revealed in the future planning proposals for the park that it would not return.
