Kōmbo at the Indianapolis Zoo!

<- Previous | Start | Next ->

Opened: 2001 Manufacturer: Zierer Height: 19.7 ft (6 m) Speed: 19.9 mph (32 kph) Length: 652.9 ft (200 m) My most recent ride: 2022

Imagine my surprise when my family and I were walking through the Indy Zoo and surprise! Roller coaster! Yeah, not a setting you would expect, but they've got one there! It's nothing crazy of course, just a medium size model of Zierer's Tivoli coaster but it's still fun to ride something in a zoo rather than a full amusement park lol.

It serves it's purpose well as a little family coaster here. With it's twisty figure eight shaped layout hidden among the trees between the zoo's train and skyride attractions, it makes for a neat little area. Since it's all surrounded by bushes and trees, you can't see any of the animal exhibits while on the ride, which would have been cool, but it's still a fun ride. The name even works well for this kind of ride, with Kōmbo meaning "curved" in Swahili.

If I recall correctly, you get three laps around the course, and unlike some of the other kiddie and family coasters I've covered, I don't remember this one being jerky, rough, or uncomfortable at all. Given some of the others we've covered, that's definitely a plus haha. So overall, not a whole lot else to say about Kōmbo. It's a perfectly fine little ride in an unexpected place. Of course, it's not the main draw to come to the Indy Zoo for, but it's a nice bonus for sure lol.

Thanks for checking out today's coaster post! Keep an eye out for tomorrow's coaster!

Yet another unoptimal combo but this time it's Smoke from MK9! Transparent background because why not? It doesn't even make sense to remove the background anymore since I never impose it on a different one but I just do it out of habit now. Also, I did the green screen by using ReShade so that's why alot of the VFX are missing. Can't really do much about that. I really wish there was a green screen mod for MK9 like there is for MKX. Also this combo was done with Futuretime23's MK9 Trilogy Edition mod so I'm not sure if it the first part with the first string into Smoke Ball is possible with normal unmodded MK9.
