Well, I will admit that I was disappointed to see the Flying Carpet go, but now that I have ridden its replacement I can say with full confidence that Kennywood made the right call. Cosmic Chaos is an excellent flat ride and a wonderful more modern addition to the parks awesome flat ride selection. This was my first opportunity to ride one of the Mega Disk-Os, and frankly Im surprised that more parks dont have one. Chaos provides just enough thrills to please the thrill seekers, yet it is not overly intense and is a ride that most of the family can enjoy together, which has been a staple with many of Kennywoods flats. The alien theming is subtle and cute, and done just right to accent the ride. The ride cycle is fairly long, and you get some great sensations as the disk travels to the peak 50 foot ends of the U-shaped track. With the spinning of the disk, you get totally unique ride experiences on rerides, which is a huge plus! It reminds me a bit of the Frisbee flats out there in that regard, and those are also high on my list. Overall, Cosmic Chaos provides a great ride experience and is a welcomed addition to the park. The ride is a must on a visit to the park, and should be enjoyed by most everyone, unless of course one has an aversion to spinning (although, the spinning on Chaos is rather mild). We Kennywood fans are very glad that these extra terrestrials decided to land their ship in West Mifflin!
