I like the idea of a new paint job, but I have agree The Flying Cobras sounds kinda cheesy

Totally. Its not a huge deal but I think a rides name shouldn't change unless they have a great idea

[coasterbruh]

But they do . . .

Fitting for any Carolina County Fair, guests will look to the sky for an air show featuring the daring aviation maneuvers of The Flying Cobras.

I look at this as the tempesto of the south.

How on earth could the park not know? .

Just noting that in 2006 The Abyss(1989) was repainted after having all the slide pieces removed from the tower/supports. Sidewinder was added in 1997, maybe they are waiting to decide after inspecting the slide.

This is our first year having season passes. We're so excited for the new rides and I'm ecstatic about Winterfest. We love Christmas!!

I think the Cobras are the individual cars, not the train.

I'm not crazy about the name but I LOVE the theme.

Lesson time. . . fighter jets are commingly known as "Cobras". More so popular during WWII. A lot of fairs are coupled with air shows. This could also explain the red white and blue new color scheme it is gonna have. So, to make a long story short the park actually put some thought into this whole flying cobra and its not just some silly name as some of you may suggest.

^^Might be on to something there, maybe each car being one of the "Flying Cobras" like the Flying Wallendas.

Yeah, the cars looked individually colored in the concept sketch.

It would be a crime for them not to use that airplane by Cyclone's turnaround.

Well that's much better. I hadn't seen a red white and blue color scheme. Is there a picture of that? Still not too thrilled about it as we already have another ride themed around fighter jets. Different fighter jets, but still. I kinda liked the snake theme

Can you guys show me the sketch? Can't find it.

That makes me love this even more!

I'm really hoping the park goes all out with retheming the coaster. Maybe some props along the queue...

Wings' location next to Cobra makes a lot more sense now.

See guys . . . it's, to me, a very well thought out name. I mean, afterall it could have been Cobrahawk lol.

Ehhh, I still like the other theme better but this makes way more sense now.

Thanks man

I'm still willing to bet that the slide is being moved/removed, as well as the ladder game. That is what I am sticking with.
