Cobra

Paultons Park, Ower, Hampshire, UK

Paultons Park's largest and longest roller coaster. New for the 2006 season, this coaster is situated in the Kids Kingdom area near the Go-Karts. Each train carries four riders sitting in two rows or two.

The Cobra is undoubtedly Paulton's new signature ride. With tight mouse turns and a sweeping first drop, it's sure to put a smile on the face of anybody that rides it.

Cobra is incredibly smooth, which makes the fun helices and awesome air time hills glide by so magically!


	Name: Cobra Type: Gerstlauer Bobsled Height: 54ft 2in Speed: 31 mph Capacity: 720 riders per hour

Posts: 154 Location: Connecticut	Great family ride, with some surprisingly thrilling moments, way smoother and quicker than the simular Rattlesnake at CWOA.

Posts: 154 Location: Connecticut	Cobra is an outstanding ride, and perfect for Paultons Park. I've ridden it over 40 times, and still some parts take my breath away! The airtime hills at the end are fangtastic (get it?..FANG-tastic :P), and the switch from left to right is orgasmic!

The mouse turns are really powerful, the helixes after tham are th ebest and are very powerful and I love the switch between the left and right helix. Airtime hills are great and fun and the last helix is as powerful as the others!
