My Thoughts on the King Cobra
This was the first standing coaster I ever rode. I will miss it mainly because I'm nostalgic. It was fun, although bigger and faster coasters were starting to eclipse it. There's nothing like standing up and going upside down! Mr. McElwee didn't care for it because he said his head got jerked around. I never thought it was too bad.
