Just wondering how long the wait time is on Cobra when the Queue is full?

And Rip Roaring Rapids. I know it used to be 2hrs at the entrance, has that changed? The line was close to that on Sat. Guess everyone is going to flock to that now that Log Flume is gone.

I have not seen any long wait times on Cobra. They move pretty quick up there--even with only one train. I would estimate the longest I have seen is 30 minutes.

Rapids is still rapids--long lines and all. The end of the line is about 2 1/2 hours on an average day and still around 2 hours if the crew is moving quickly. Since the removal of Thornberrys, both the lines for Rapids and White Water Falls have been pretty long.

RRR is fun and all, I just couldn't imagine waiting 2 1/2 hours for that thing. If the wait is any longer than about 20 min. or so I just skip it.

We were there a week ago Saturday and the queue was almost full, and the wait was about 25 minutes.

Today the line was just a straight line almost out the queue, and it was maybe 15 minutes.

The crew has been doing a good job I think.

Oh wow, that is really good. About half of what I was thinking.

I totally agree. I haven't rode it in a while, but I'm not waiting 2 hrs to ride anything at Carowinds. I go on a Monday or Tuesday sometime this summer.

We went on Mother's Day and it was down, they were up on the lift hill fixing something. It could have been around that time. Not sure if it went down that day or late on Sat before that.

Of course Dayglo Hawk wasn't. :evil:


It was until someone threw up this morning and they shut it down.

^Cobra was the one they shut down when someone threw up.

One of the crew was getting ready to clean it up but the supervisor said no and called it in. I was in line for the very next train.

On the flip side, they had one of the best crews operating this morning. They were very quick and actually jogged back to their stations so the train could be dispatched. I was impressed.

This is slightly off topic, but does anyone know if the Cobra webcam is still on-line or did they cut it for the intimidator cam? are there ANY other webcams throughout the park? I really want to see people getting freaked out tonight. :D
