King Cobra, Steel roller coaster at Kings Island, Ohio, US.
This steel roller coaster featured a vertical loop, camelback hills, and a 540-degree helix across its 2,219-foot track length at 50 miles per hour.
Opening in April 1984, King Cobra marked the first United States installation of a Japanese Togo roller coaster, operating until its closure in November 2001.
The green and yellow snake-themed design of King Cobra matched the Adventure Village section of Kings Island, which displayed live animal exhibits.
The roller coaster required riders to stand throughout the experience, accommodating 1,250 passengers per hour with a minimum height requirement of 54 inches.
Engineers constructed and tested a prototype called Astro-Comet in Tokyo before dismantling and rebuilding the structure at Kings Island.
