Kobra is a Zamperla Mega Disk’O Coaster which opened in 2010 at Chessington World of Adventures Resort in southwest London, England. The ride is currently closed while it is moved and re themed to fit in with the rest of the new Minecraft themed land. It is unlikely that the ride will continue to bear the name Kobra. [1]

History
Kobra opened in the 2010 season in the new Wild Asia land at Chessington World of Adventures Resort. It was manufactured by Zamperla. It is only the second model of its type in Britain, after The Edge at Paulton's Park.[2]
In early 2025, it was announced that the ride would remain closed for the duration of the 2025 season in order to allow for it to be dismantled, moved and re themed. It is due to be part of the new Minecraft land that will open for the 2027 season.[1]

Description
As with all rides of its type, riders sit in a motorcycle-like position in outward-facing seats at the edge of the circular ride platform. The ride model features an airtime hill (AKA camel back hump) in the middle of the track, and two steep slopes at either end. The platform spins and travels backwards and forwards along the track at moderate speed.
Kobra features two large snake statues at either end of the track; giving the ride its name. Riders sit at the edge of a circular ride car, which spins along 90m of track at 43 mph. The ride model includes a camel back hill in the centre of the track to give the car airtime as it travels over.
Minimum height is 1.20 metres, with torso measurements approaching 51 inches.[3][failed verification]
