Cobra's Curse - New Spinning Coaster For Busch Gardens Tampa

Update on Construction and a Logo

Much better than I thought, Deere! I'll have high hopes for this!

This little baby helix, I'm about it.



I didn't realize how close this was going to get to Montu. That's pretty cool

I have to say what a snappy helix! That also goes well with Montu, actually!

The support game on this ride is peculiar.



They might be going for a Cheetah Hunt effect here? It definitely doesn't seem like those open ends are going to connect to anything.

thats some intersting shaping...

^^ I feel that more coasters should have a "Cheetah Hunt" effect, just before the first drop! I hope to see B&M do this kind of move so they can make their loopers a tad longer and look more appealing for guests! That pre-drop with an instant snap would work for a snappy turn. I know that "Great Bear" at Hershey has a similar part! Well, as for those open ends, they can also be for neat-looking lightning rods!

Daemonen at Tivoli has s similar pre drop sequence.

As for those odd supports - looking at the model it looks like they're going to be part of the themeing (banded together with rope with the main supports) or something similar.

^ That video clip is fantastic!

I really need to get to this park. this new coaster just gives me another reason to put it on my to do list.

^ Wow I freakin' love that 180 or Boomerang Turn! This coaster will turn out pretty well!

This will be my first spinner, woo!

Are spinners that rare where you live? I have 5 spinners in a 80 mile radius.

SFOG is 30 minutes away from me. Also, not including Wild Mouse coasters.

Well, am I the only one who thinks this image is somewhat like Cheetah Hunt?

Construction looks like it's going great. I really should see if I could try to plan an new trip to Florida. I've got plenty of new rides and coasters to do since last visit!

^ Hope you'll have fun!

Aye SFOG is like 30/45 min away from me too! Always nice to see someone from your state on the site!

Lift construction!

Damn, that roller coaster has blue track with reddish purple supports.

I guess that this is gonna be a darkhorse despite the small layout!

I'm still deciding if it looks icky or not lol

I think the colors look good near Montu (which is one the most intense inverts i've been on).
