tomathy Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I doubt it will have an indoor section, its not a massive ride and an indoor section would have to be themed incredibly well to work. Plus I don't think the plans show an indoor part of the ride, sorry to disappoint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeparkmad Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 What type of ride is it? 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomathy Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I know, was just saying, I wondered how long it would be before Chessie got one of these or the normal Disk'o. It should fit in nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeis Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Do we know if it will be a regular or mega disk-o? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Do we know if it will be a regular or mega disk-o?I don't know if this is right or whatever but isn't Kobra going to be a Disk'O Coaster which Is obviously different to a Disk'O and Mega Disk'ODisk'O (small halfpipe and 24 seats)- portable Version possibleMega Disk'O (large halfpipe and 40 seats)Mega Disk'O 24 (large halfpipe and 24 seats)Skater (small halfpipe with "normal" seats facing inwards)- portable Version possibleDisk'O Coaster (halfpipe with hill 40 seats)Skater Coaster (halfpipe with hill with "normal" seats facing inwards) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk-O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Yeh you are correct Chris. It's the one with the air time hill in the middle, although I personally wouldn't say it has air time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 All of this indoor section stuff is starting to get on my nerves if I'm honest.The plans do not show an indoor section on Kobra. I know plans can and do change, however, someone would have found out and said.Also, why have an indoor section on a Disk-o coaster!? It would not work very well. It would have to be incredibly well themed, positioned in the perfect place and make perfect sense to be there. It is a long shot that it would work - so why risk it? Moreover, it would feel better without an indoor section. Though I've never ridden a Disk-o of any kind, from the looks of it, I'd assume that going through an enclosed area would just ruin the 'feel' of the ride. In the end, the best chance of an indoor section would be in the loading area, and I just can't see it happening to be honest.Please don't think I'm saying don't discuss the rumour about an indoor section. I'm not. But I can't see it as a possibility. I doubt it will happen; that's my opinion anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not work very well. It would have to be incredibly well themed, positioned in the perfect place and make perfect sense to be there. It is a long shot that it would work - so why risk it?It could be an indoor snake pit with animations and sound effects. Let your imagination run wild with the possibilities.And as you said, whether it even appears to have an indoor section or not! I doubt it will happen; that's my opinion anyway.Thank you for sharing your idea! It is nice to not all be the same and have different thoughts!It makes us human!

Rich Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I honestly don't think it will have an indoor section. The plans have to be made public Keith for planning permission, any amendments etc will need to go back online and back to the planning permission committee.Also after riding Edge, It's going to be travelling and spinning too fast to make an indoor section noticeable and worthwhile!

Hazzer Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 which one of the above is ramba zamba at southend?the one at Adventure Island in southend is the Disk'O (small halfpipe and 24 seats)- portable Version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 As much as I don't think it'll have indoor sections, it actually sounds like such a great idea now.The indoor section could be the station, and be themed brilliantly, thus bettering the ride experience- will be good zooming through it during the ride. Plus it'd make fantastic operational sense having the station sheltered from our British weather, helping to keep both staff and guests happy.Fun to speculate, but as Rich said, all buildings have to have planning permission.

KaneCurse Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I think that people are getting the supposedly "indoor section" on Kobra mixed up with the bird/reptile walk through which Wild Asia is recieving.Also I hope that Kobra is themed alot more than The Edge at Paultons is.

TraX Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 It is! You can clearly see the amount of theming they are going for from the planning applications. The two giant snakes either side are going to look fantastic. I'm very excited as to what the area will look like in the new season. From Circus Land to Beano Land, that corner of the park has always been out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricBlll Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I agree that an indoor section sounds like a weird idea. If it is true then I think it will be going in the queueline or station as a few other people have suggested. Remember that the queue goes under the airtime hill and behind the ride, so there is plenty or room around the back of Beanoland near Peeking Heights for something like an indoor section. I personally think it does not need one at all, but it would be great to queue inside an immersive, themed room like a jungle, before going into the open and seeing the ride.The Kobra should be a really good ride for Chessington, being the first large investment for a few years, along with its giant snakes and fountain theming.

treeis Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I wonder what the wild asia theme music will be.... ....the one which will inevitably get on my nerves as I wait in the queue for Kobra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hopefully the 'new ride effect' will take place, and the crowds will flock to Wild Asia (well, Kobra especially) leaving Vampire and nearby rides with walk on queues. Maybe even Dragon's Fury for a short while with any luck.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I wonder what the wild asia theme music will be.... ....the one which will inevitably get on my nerves as I wait in the queue for Kobra.I am sure the theme music will be very good and suited to the area! Hopefully the 'new ride effect' will take place, and the crowds will flock to Wild Asia (well, Kobra especially) leaving Vampire and nearby rides with walk on queues. Maybe even Dragon's Fury for a short while with any luck..And I like the sound of that Josh!Everyone can go to Wild Asia no problem. Be nice to see Vampire on 0 mins for a bit longer! (Then again, I would say that! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomathy Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I doubt the indoor section, it would be to hard to theme it, I mean 360 degrees of theming and your going to be going passed it at a considerable speed, plus I think it would be better outside, either it all indoors or all out, thats the only way theming is going to work.

Topsyturvy15 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Any queue expectations, I would say an hour at first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomathy Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I expect up to an hour and a half purely because its a new ride and doesn't have the best throughput ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'd guess 30 - 50 minutes. Yes it's a new ride but I doubt it would have the same pull factor as Fury or Vampire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
