Do you think PKI should bring back King Cobra?

Featured Replies

T wouldn't mind having King Cobra back in PKI whether it was the original or a more advanced King Cobra, meaning like more comfortable stand up trains, more advanced inversions etc.... I really enjoyed the unique helix on the ride, it was really cool. What do you think?

I think it is gone for good. I doubt we will ever see a reincarnation of King Cobra, since we already have The Beast and a reincarnation of it.

I hope we get a new stand up, but hopefully nothing like King cobra. More like something taller, faster, and more thrilling, with better inversions and a longer track. I do hope they bring back the bunny hills though. I'm positive that KI will get another stand up. Will it take 10 years like it did with The Bat and Top Gun...who knows!

The PKI management staff got rid of King Cobra for several different reasons. It would make no sense to bring it back.

I am personally getting sick of all of the KC topics lately, I mean the ride was fun but with TOGO gone and no parts for it why would PKI waste money on it. I am probably the number one fan of KC and I even realize that it's gone just deal with it. ph34r.gif

KC I doubt will ever be togeather again.

Standups aren't popular. A B&M floorless or flyer would be nice.

It is with deep regret that I say the cobra is dead, but it's spirit still remains.

Sorry King Cobra fans, but don't hold your breath. I liked KC too, but can't see PKI bringing it back.

Hey.....I know how you feel. I am still sad about the loss of PT and wish that the park would bring it back. But I am a pragmatic person.

If it helps, listen to the Hank Williams Senior song "There's a tear in my beer". It's chorus is "There's a tear in my beer cause I'm crying for you DEAR. You are on my lonely mind."

Replace the word "DEAR" with "KING COBRA". Now pour yourself a ice cold frosty beer and sing "There's a tear in my beer cause I'm crying for you KING COBRA. You are on my lonely mind."

Funny!...um yeah the cobra is Dead..why have it when you dont have the parts to fix it if it becomes broken? iam sure thrill seekers will get what they want in 2004...a B&M FLYER! yeah! biggrin.gif

Yeah, the big snake is one of the other rides that got the axe. It had its positives and its negatives, but one good thing about it was that it could run at least two cars at once I think. It was also a short ride, some see that as a positvie, some as a negative. It's the only stand-up ride I've ever been on, still, and I'll miss it.

I'd like to see come back, but as a bigger and better coaster, perhaps even with some theming and an encounter with a giant snake in a tunnel or something. Anyways, I do hope we will get a stand up sometime soon.

Why build on to it when you can just build a better coaster. Sorry, but making an original coaster bigger and longer won't work. KC was a good ride but I think it is a bit outdated.

It is safe to say that the King Cobra will never again operate at PKI. It was taken out for a reason folks. biggrin.gif
