Thanks for sharing. Topgun looked as bad that year as Flight Deck looks now...That poor coaster just gets no respect.

Wow, I'm glad I got to ride King Cobra. Such a great ride, and also such a contrast to the concrete jungle appearance that new rides always seem to have.

By the way, I much prefer the Halloween decorations at the entrance to the park in '98 than I do now...

I miss King Cobra. Was my first stand-up coaster. Alot of firsts were at KI for me. The day Vortex goes....I will be a basket case.

Actually, in this video, you can see that it once looked very nice...

This is also a good video to see the past

I watched it, it's great. It makes me cry because I want King Cobra back! I just wanted to see some of Hanna-Barbera Land, but it didn't show that. I also realized there was a lot more landscaping back then than now......

^this is true...i miss the old landscaping to be honest...
