For a major new attraction at a park that's an easy day trip for me, it took me quite a bit of time to get around to trying it. The reason for this is obvious. I'd already ridden Edge at Paultons Park when it opened the year before this, so a copy of the exact same ride wasn't that high a priority. This does me wonder why they went with this ride, it's not as if there aren't other rides that could have been substituted as the signature attraction of the Wild Asia area, that aren't already at a nearby park.

For the uninitiated this is a Disk-O Coaster, a variant of the very popular Disk-O rides, that have popped up in amusement parks around the country. It sees you sitting facing outwards on a giant disc. During the ride the disc spins and moves back and forth along a section of track. Unlike a regular Disk-O with a short section of track, this version has a much longer section of track, that includes a bump in the middle.

I've heard complaints about this ride being on a short ride program. This is not something I had a problem with when I visited, although this was on a quiet day when the rides were a walk on.

One thing I did find was it didn't strike me as thrilling as Edge, not achieving the same high speed out of control feel. To be honest though I can't say if this is because of a tamer setting, or due to the fact I rode Edge first, and the ride has lost some of it's impact on a repeat try.

Overall though it's still a pretty good ride. At Chessington it feels more like a stopgap ride, installed between the opening of major attractions, rather than a major attraction in it's own right. It still offers enough in fun and thrills to make it a must do on a visit to Chessington.
