Flying Cobras • Carowinds

Comfort Harness Intensity Capacity Layout

The flying cobras is just a standard vekoma boomerang with its simple layout, but it is much improved by the new vest restraint trains that the ride has. It made me nauseous as most rides that go backwards do, that being said for what it is it definitely is better than many of its kind

Comfort Pointless

Just like Sidewinder but with theming. Best boomerang I've ever ridden and it's still only a little enjoyable.

On October 18, 2009, Carolina Cobra's second lift hill failed to catch, resulting in a rollback that couldn't make it back through the second set of inversions. The passengers were able to exit the ride onto a nearby platform. All of the passengers were taken to first aid. Seven of the riders were released back into the park; the eighth was taken to a local hospital and examined. No serious injuries were reported.

First Drop Intensity Headbanging Inversions Discomfort

So while the first drop had some great negative g's, the loops had some serious head banging problems and that's basically the entire ride

Discomfort Tear it down!

This ride gave me motion sickness. This is the only roller coaster that has ever done this. It very nearly ruined my entire trip to Carowinds.

Fun Harness Capacity Dead spots

What may seem like your bog standard Vekoma Boomerang on the surface is actually something a bit more rare; this is a Boomerang that the park decided to actually put money into and buy the new trains with the new vest restraints! Do the vests make the Boomerang into the best ride in the world? No, but they certainly make the ride experience a lot better, allowing you to better enjoy the simple shuttle coaster as it goes backwards and forwards through its compact layout.

Harness Intensity Rattle

Flying Cobras is a surprisingly intense boomerang and is overall very underrated.

Harness Intensity Capacity

Surprisingly good for a Vekoma Boomerang. The new trains really helped and I thought it looked pretty with the colors and different color cars. No headbanging thanks to the restraints and the Inversions were quite intense. Too bad it can only run one train though.
