Kobra will be a Disk'O Coaster. Regarding the indoor section of Kobra: Remember, rumours are rumours! Some may be true and some may be false!

I think just sorting out the audio first would be a good start so we can enjoy it whilst queuing. :)I agree that the entrance part needs a re-paint.The bright green for the queue line also needs a re-paint.AKid - I think if it got watery effects on the queue, than would be an added extra.I persoanly don't mind the loading bay as it has a bit of theming on the operating control roof.I think one of the most important things, on top of the audio, will be to make the Rumba Rapids ride more enjoyable by actually running some of the effects.You could easily control how long they are on for, so people are not tempted to stand up.Maybe add a few signs around the queue to remin seated? We already have the announcement that plays stating "Welcome to Rumba Rapids! Before...... So you must remain seated....... Thank you!" :(It would be nice to see Rumba Rapids getting some attention over this closed season.However, I can fully appreciate that they are busy planning / creating SAW: Alive.

If they haven't got the money to re-build a queue line, what makes you think they have the money to completely re-build a new rapids ride?

I have just watched the filmPretty Womanafter not watching it for over a year now.It still makes me laugh and would reconmend anyone who likes love stories etc to watch it!

It has been taken off the site.However, it has been quoted with who posted it and where it was from.

2010: RideI would love Rumba Rapids to have some of its water effects returned for the 2010 season.I already know why some can't be used, but some just need to return or more into place!I know there is always the issue of people standing up to avoid them, but it is a water ride!2010: AudioI love grooving to the Rumba Rapids audio! :)However, it would be nice for the speakers towards the start of the queue line to have major attention due to the fact these don't give out any sound at all!

THIS IS QUOTED FROM WILL ON MANIA HUB.I thought I would post it here as I think this may get some discussion if posted in its correct section...And with the rumours of the rapids, I think it is something the park could really make use of!It is a high capacity ride and is always usually popular with all age groups!And indoor sections of Kobra - Sounds fantastic!Anyone else want to share their views / opinions?..

I am glad it has been noticed and hopefully rectified shortly! I think it would be amazing to have another department for this too!It seems to me like a simple solution in order to have all the things that make a difference, but may go un-noticed, in one place!You might even call them "imagineers" in a way like what they have in Disney parks! :)I certainly do feel VERY strong with the thought of another department because their is a lot of lighting, scenery, effects and music around the park that could have some attention too. Also, if that is "only" what they had to focus on, I can see Chessington & Zoo rising in people's expectations!A great idea Sheepie!

You are correct Steve that it is probably a low priority thing.However, you would be surprised what vandalism can do and affect guests days out.I really do hope over the closed season, or during the 2010 season, that something is done in relation to this matter...

It all depends on the ground levels and what is actually below that we don't see I suppose.

Will look into that then! :(And in the words of the lovely lady... CHOO CHOO

New TopicsA lot of topics are being created which is very good as it can advance on discussions.However, BEFORE you create a new topic, please ensure that the topic doesn't already exist otherwise it will just clutter the forum.I would just like to say as well that it is nice to see people editing their posts due to things such as punctuation mistakes.This will only help the forum, newer members, and create a more professional looking forum.Thank you.

I am glad you like the idea!

This seems the most relevant place to put this...As some friends will know, I usually say CHOO CHOO when I emply 'yes' or 'oh yeah'.After browsing through Facebook, I found this... I am sure it is a bit old now but what enthusiasm!!!As well as Thirteen, I need to go when this lovely lady is operating!Definately need to plan a trip now for 2010!

Really?! Everytime I went in the 2009 season, it was playing perfectly at a perfect volume. Maybe I could be Bubbleworks' lucky charm? No? Didn't think so! :) It is a shame that it can't be replaced really.

I agree, regarding the audio there, rygr.Throughout the 2009 season, I was always seeing the first scene and the part before the fair ground not having any audio at all.(Apart from in the last scene with the "shhhh, please be quiet...".I would rather have the odd breaks/cuts in the music than have no audio at all though.I also feel they should "set" an audio level. There are many times where it is a perfect volume and others where it is just, well.... stupid! :)Bubbleworks does need some attention during this closed season, especially regarding the audio.I would also like something to be done regarding some of the posters. There is one, which is on the bridge part of the queue, that is completely vandalised.(It is blue if that helps anyone). - Think it is 'Imperial Energiser'.

"It is not always what you know but who you know"Just been told that saying today and relates to this so... :)Does anyone know how many people actually get through to work on Rides and Attractions? (On average obviously!)

I gathered it was there but it is never used so how was I supposed to know that for 100%! :)Get it working!

Never heard that one before! :)Is it played before you go up the stairs to the entrance. ???
