Chessington World of Adventures Resort

[JAperson]

it’s a short coaster in terms of track length

I suppose an indoor coaster like this, with a park as restricted on space and what they can build as Chessington meant it was always going to be somewhat short in terms of track length. Although with the other elements it could well mean the experience isn't ridiculously short, but I suppose we will have to wait and see in that regard.
Then again Merlin have a recent habit of building half coasters.....

My understanding was there would be "show scenes" where the car stops moving, so the length of the track doesn't necessarily determine the length of the ride. Also i recall there was a switch or backwards section so it will be traversing the same piece of track per cycle.

I'm imagining something in the realm of The Mummy at Universal, albeit probably not that good.... though the budget is there so perhaps reason to be optimistic!

Do we know what the 2nd new ride is meant to be in this area and what Kobra will ultimately look like

The layout on the plans showed it travels round a few show scenes before doing the backwards spike following the spike it rolls into the motion table/turntable, before exiting this section with a launch to the outdoor turn around section before entering the building with possibly an airtime hill before a near 360 degree large left turn before a right turn into the breaks.

The expected show scenes at the start and the motion turntable should extend the length of the ride,
