An ancient and mythical kingdom will be uncovered at Chessington World of Adventures in 2010, as the park unleashes a brand new land called Wild Asia.

Kobra, an awesome new spinning Disk'O Coaster ride, lurks in the jungle next to family favourites including the Monkey Swinger and the Tuk Tuk Turmoil dodgems, with the Lorikeet Lagoon walkthrough aviary and Maharaja’s Market just begging to be explored!

New for 2010: Wild Asia Deep in the heart of Surrey, explorers can navigate their way through fallen temples to discover a crumbling lost land rumoured to channel supernatural powers of sacred animals. A clearing in the jungle reveals the cunning KOBRA which lures adventurers to bravely harness the power of the serpent whilst it spins through the air on a 90m track at a dizzying 43mph!

Further into the jungle, explorers can go on a bumpy tour on the Jungle Bus or try their luck on the Tuk Tuk Turmoil Dodgems, get soaked on the cheeky Monkey Swinger before going jungle crazy in the Temple of Mayhem.

The spirits of intrepid explorers will be lifted by the song of exotic and colourful birds in the Lorikeet Lagoon, a walkthrough aviary allowing guests to come up so close they can hand feed nectar to the birds! And if that’s not enough therapy, the Maharaja’s Market offers a little piece of Asia to take away while the restaurant is an authentic Asian dining experience.

David Smith, Chief Explorer at Chessington World of Adventures, says:

The launch of Wild Asia perfectly complements the other worlds within the park and we can’t wait to challenge families to ‘take on the KOBRA’! 2010 is a very big year for Chessington and this new land is just the beginning of Britain’s Wildest Adventure.
