Today we attended Busch Gardens Tampa for media day of Cobra's Curse and from the words of rcking04, our media man for the day there, "OMG IT IS AWESOME!!!!!"

Cobra's Curse is a Mack spinner that forward, then backwards, then free spinning. The loading station is a platform that doesn't stop moving. So you get on and off quickly and easily! Checkout the pics rcking04 took today for us. We'll have videos as soon as possible!!

Lol nice POV watermark. Looks like a really fun ride. I'm surprised it doesn't spin more, but considering the Florida heat and humidity.....that's probably a good thing.

Overjoy in a pleasing way!

We are actually unlucky on that. We tried redistributing the weight, but we mostly all weighed the same. There were cars that were constantly spinning though during that section.

Which one was rcking? I had trouble pointing out the one that was more gay than the other.

ok lol

This ride seems too short to be worthwhile. Should be a fun addition to the park, but the extremely short length bugs me.

It's really broken up - I think that's what irks me most. Spinners do tend to have really short sections but you seem to spend more time on MCBR/Lift elements than actual ride time :Z

I mean Twisted Colossus does the same thing but people like it for some odd reason
