Yesterday was media day for Cobras Curse at Busch Gardens Tampa and the park was awesome enough to invite us out to check out their new Mack spinning coaster.
Below we've got some amazing pictures and video for you taken by Steve who was on hand for the festivities.

Welcome to the Cobras Curse

Snakes ... why did it have to be snakes
Let's head in and check out the queue
The queue is amazingly detailed and air conditioned which was very much needed yesterday
Video of the awesome queue pre-show
We'll leave you with a few more shots of the ride
Overall Cobras Curse is a crazy fun ride and something that is definitely needed at the park. It has good forces without too much crazy spinning and will do amazingly well with all of the parks demographics.
Cobra’s Curse Striking Facts:
- One-of-a-kind spin coaster features a menacing 30,000-pound snake king icon and a 70-foot vertical lift that will take riders within inches of its 3 foot-wide eyes and 4-foot-long fangs.
- During the three-and-a-half-minute ride, the coaster trains speed along at 40 mph down 2,100 feet of serpentine-like track, travelling backward, forward and then spinning freely.
- Guests will experience a new spin with each ride. Each train spins randomly, with frequency and direction determined by the rider weight distribution.
- The ride’s air-conditioned queue naturally fuels guests’ adrenaline with an immersive themed experience and a state-of-the-art snake exhibit featuring four exotic snake species including some of the world’s most feared and often misunderstood, vipers.
- Riders must be 48 inches to ride, or 42 inches with a parent or guardian.
