The Flying Cobras Official On-Ride POV

Experience the amazing aerial acrobatics of The Flying Cobras at the new County Fair!
The Carolina Cobra has undergone quite the transformation for the 2017 season. Part of the NEW Carowinds County Fair, The Flying Cobras gives guests a taste of an airshow from an early-era county fair. Look to the sky to see the amazing aeronautics of this thrilling coaster.
Standing at 125 feet, this coaster sends riders through a 360 degree loop and a cobra roll. Once riders catch their breath, they are sent through the whole ride again backwards! This coaster turns riders upside down a total of six times.

Rode this yesterday. Did not expect it to be so intense. Left with dizziness and a headache. Kicked my ass.

[@riftzznt7123]

bro i went on this ride when i was like 7 and that shit made me wanna throw up

[@Heliosphan33]

@@riftzznt7123 you would have been valid

[@lesleyblevins5673]

It makes me dizzy to

[@KamikazeSOF2]

My nephew straight up passed out.

[@theyoungadvocate7797]

This was my first 'real' roller coaster yesterday (unless you count the Goldrusher). I rode 3 times, each with my eyes shut and holding on for dear life 😂😂😂

[@shanemartin3961]

How old are you? My son rode this when he was 10.

[@plastic8101]

I rode it for the first time when i was 9, i loved it. And now im 10

[@fbi5222]

I went on when I was 7

[@dibble1331]

This was the first thrill ride I rode when I first went to Carowinds. I was I think 14 when I rode this. I still wasn’t used to riding roller coasters yet so obviously I was basically shitting myself. I still really like this coaster, and is definitely my favorite Vekoma Boomerang.

[@lilianaaa_416]

I rode this when I was 8 and screamed the whole ride even when it didn’t move at all and my parents decided to let me ride the ricochet afterwards to “cheer me up” it made me cry even more and we got ice cream then rode kiddy rides for the rest of the time

[@justinbowen6594]

a surprisingly smooth vekoma boomerang

[@SRR475]

Yeah, I rode jolly rancher remix at Hersheypark and thought the same thing.

[@destinycline9692]

I used to be terrified of this roller coaster.. I finally rode it yesterday and it was actually fun.

[@craiglopresto3322]

The old Mind Eraser at Geauga Lake. This thing was a headache generator lol

[@bridgediscovery1011]

Me te I dont like this one its uncomfortable to

[@VestedUTuber]

Wasn't bad when I rode it back in 2016. Then again, it was equipped with the MK2 trains at that point.

[@cancelled148]

Wow. Without the headache, you can really feel the forces without the head banging. It really great. I'm not rlly crazy about going backwards tho

[@abraveastronaut]

I'd totally forgotten, but I actually worked on this ride occasionally, too. I liked being sent over there when I was tired, because there was only ever one train on the track (thanks to the design which makes it impossible to run more than one) so I got to take a breather while it was in motion. Ironically Cobra shared its crew with the unusually labor-intensive Goldrusher, so once in a while I'd set off for heaven and find out I was headed for hell instead.

[@thecommenter7001]

What would you say the funnest ride to operate was

[@yeti4269]

Gold rush has always gave me the sense of getting decapitated

[@fosterjones2147]

The first lift is steeper than you might expect

[@peashootercomments9519]

I had gotten tricked into going on here by my step-cousin making me think it would be a smooth nice ride. But i wanna ride it again😁

[@petermorin6741]

That final stop looked hard!

[@CoasterAddict]

We love the new theming and the entire County Fair section! Keep up the great work!

[@vspookdsyt]

Hey Carowinds! I’m Going To Carowinds Today! I’m So Exited To Ride! Copperhead Strike Is My Favorite Roller Coaster! Love The Rides! I Love The New Arenautica Landing! It Brings A lot More Atractions To The Park! See You Carowinds This Afternoon!:)

[@FarmRiddles]

This is my first looping coaster and y first coaster at Carowinds!

[@nataliechristineramsey7809]

[@rumpuscutie]

Natalie Ramsey same

[@coasterthekid8867]

Then you're both GP

[@tracen638]

Static Coaster, im a coaster enthusiast, and this boomerang is suprisingly smooth. Let them love the ride without them recieving hate.

[@kaydub0623]

they can have their own opinions. just because they aren't enthusiasts doesn't mean they can't enjoy it.

[@Leospartner]

this was a one and done for me.

[@charismaticadventurer8448]

I rode fury 7 times, and all of that combined couldn’t compare me for the nausea I got on the backwards loop.

[@bunchinbemunchin6310]

I love this one cause u get to choose if u wanna go forwards or backwards first lol

[@cooperstewart917]

rode this yesterday with all the other coasters really fun

[@samanthalocklear5897]

I usually chicken out on roller coaster rides but i got on this today and when we was going backwards to get speed i was freaking out but once the ride started it was smooth.

[@mrs.thomas-usmcwife5686]

This ALMOST replaces the backwards coaster of Thunder Road. (RIP) I'm taking my daughter tomorrow for the first time. I personally haven't been in about 9 years, so I know its going to be fun. I'm going to miss Rip Roaring Rapids and White Waterfall though. I road those with my grandmother decades ago. Maybe they can add them to Carolina Harbor sometime.

[@Secretsofsociety]

Probably the most successful roller coaster in the world commercially

[@kcpjfamilyy9692]

I love this

[@JeremyHale141]

This thing was so fun

[@redfoxfoundation2919]

I rode this today. Being scared is the least you could say

[@charismaticadventurer8448]

This thing killed me😭💀

[@neilsmith9066]

Mind Eraser there you are been looking for you! Rode you in 99!

[@nicholasadkins3793]

You would be correct. Mind Eraser, Head Spin, Carolina Cobra and now the Flying Cobras

[@askjeevescosby2928]

You know what would be cool. Build 2 of these back to back so the cobra roll would be inside the space of the other boomerang. Then dispatch both trains at the same time so both trains hit the cobra roll at the same time.

[@HEYitzED]

Mind Eraser at Geauga Lake. :) I miss this ride. One of the first I ever rode.

[@rickypearson4905]

Reminded me of the old white lighting

[@darkis9154]

Just a heads up, this ride is faster than on video

[@Heliosphan33]

Yes it is. Much faster with a full train.

[@cardio8133]

The vest restraints are awesome

[@diamondjebgold9906]

This coaster is fun but makes me wanna barf going backwards

[@user-jn3vp4ni1p]

YOU CAROWINDS YOU KILLED ME!!!!

[@jetsaleet]

This was my first real roller coaster. Road it when I was about 10 (I’m almost 21 now). I ride everything now!

[@randywest6823]

Randy West Rode Head Spin EST. 1996-2007 at Geauga Lake in Aurora, Ohio USA 🇺🇲.

[@emmyjensen4947]

I rode this two times tonight! Such a great ride!

[@VBaskin2010]

Hey Copperhead Strike, beat that!

[@jonathanstarling1082]

i rode this ride for the first time yesterday

[@ew7195]

I’m going there right now. The first ride I’m riding are the swings that go up in the air. Then I’m riding this. (I go all the time because I have a gold pass).

[@zariaelle]

Same

[@ew7195]

Zaria Elliott I’m going at this very moment lol.

[@plastic8101]

I have the gold pass too, its worth it

[@shanemartin3961]

They renamed the ride from the Carolina Cobra to the flying cobras.

[@neilsmith9066]

Original name The Mind Eraser!

[@peytongriffith1426]

I can deal with upside down and I can deal with going backwards, I don’t know if I can deal with both

[@jessicamarisol_editz36]

YESTERDWY I RODE THIS AND I FAINTED 😂😨

[@Little_piggie_on_ice]

Is this the same one they have in ocean city?

[@gadzia85]

Do they have these just to show on yt like when no one's on

[@thetruths7389]

This is similar to Knott's old Boomerang. :P

[@4373fg]

When did they change this from Carolina Cobra?

[@imbadatnames1326]

Flying cobras is the greatest name of all time

[@gamegeekx]

Mini version of thunder road.

[@CarowindsRoblox]

Not really.

[@maddogz322]

do not recommend this as your 7 year olds first roller coaster- i still traumatized what the fuck

[@Heliosphan33]

Baptism by fire. Definitely a rough ride for your first time.

[@curloscurlos3362]

brooo i rode this with my dad at 7 it was so much fun

[@randywest2591]

Randy West Rode at Geauga Lake & Six Flags Worlds of Adventure in Aurora, Ohio USA 🇺🇸 Old Name Mind Eraser & Head Spin.

[@katieparron308]

The seatbelt on the white car has been broken the last two times I went😕

[@TsunamiTheWolf]

I thought it was Carolina Cobra before? Maybe they changed it and I never noticed, looks pretty now tho

[@sideeswipe]

Tsunami The Wolf They changed the name and theme sorta with the new county fair section

[@zahidaasif4026]

I mean its not too bad ive went on it many times

[@guidingkeyblade7834]

Oh wow, a POV of a Vekoma Boomerang, never seen one of these before.

[@Dartex_WAZA2102]

It’s funny because no one‘s there

[@shellytovi8174]

This is the same thing as the bat at canada's wonderland

[@ThemePark_Nerdo]

Shelly Tovi This one has Vest Restraints whole the Bat has regular Over the Shoulder restraints

[@froggygamezz4923]

Man I remember going on this beacuse of pure pressure… man I beat the absolute shit out of him after that

[@RoastBeefSandwich]

didn't like this ride gave me a headache, most that turn you upside down do to me, but it was fun

[@toxikchrgez5645]

The end of the ride looks fake as hell. The last part of the cobra roll (how fitting) seemed awfully slow and the very end when the ride stops like it stops instantly and i know no ride stops that fast and instantly its just real fake looking.

[@johnmiller222]

mmmmm

[@jilllee9847]

hate this ride, caught an immediate headache after riding.

[@tankdathomie]

They need to just take this ride out of the park. It’s always down.

[@moneyonme4834]

copy of six flags

[@charismaticadventurer8448]

The backwards part makes me wanna throw up. That ain’t fun bro

[@Jake-jp5ov]

Yay they got rid of the ugly paint job

[@Heyo_Souluxy]

Boomerang copy

[@coreylineberry8557]

Isaac3713 _YT Yes, it's a Vekoma Boomerang.

[@DatOneYTPer]

u play *ROBLOX?????????*

[@agsmith4713]

its a vekoma boomerang model there are lots of them

[@ReallyBadSeed]

Another one of the incredibly lame rides at Carowinds that needs to be replaced. And how many times has it been renamed now, 5?

[@jasonandnicolinyoung144]

This is suprisingly useless

[@kian2289]

Jason and Leighann Young What?
