I rode the Cobra a few days ago. It was a pretty good ride. The first drop was the best part, the rest was a little dizzying. It was my first cobra roll, certainly not my favorite inversion.


Please don't let your Vekoma Boomerang experience shape your first impression of a cobra roll... there are MUCH better ones out there.... ones that don't leave you with the feeling that you just got hit in the head with a frying pan. :|

I rode the Time Machine at Freestyle Music Park and I loved the Cobra Roll on that one.

Not that I don't like the Cobra. It doesn't give me as much of a headache as the Hurler.

I don't think Hurler's that bad if you sit very close to the front.... anyway, I'm not a fan of the new trains on Cobra...well, at least the OTSR's... they are like vests and I can hardly breathe with them on.
