Cobra, Steel roller coaster at La Ronde amusement park in Montreal, Canada.
Cobra is a steel roller coaster at La Ronde amusement park in Montreal with sharp turns and rapid elevation changes. The ride features several consecutive turning points that move through different sections of the park.
Built by Intamin, Cobra opened in 1988 at Skara Sommarland in Sweden as Stand Up and ran there until 1994. It was relocated to La Ronde and reopened in 1995, one of only three stand-up coasters Intamin made. It closed after the 2016 season and was demolished in 2018.
The ride came from Sweden's Skara Sommarland, where it ran as Stand Up from 1988 to 1994 before moving to La Ronde for the 1995 season. Its track was yellow, repainted green in 2002. In 2007 a colony of Townsend's big-eared bats settled in the ride's engine room.
Cobra stood at La Ronde from 1995 until the end of the 2016 season, then was demolished in 2018, so there is nothing left to ride. It was a stand-up coaster built by Intamin, one of only three of that type the manufacturer made. Its single inversion was a vertical loop 22.9 metres tall.
Cobra was a clone of Shockwave, the stand-up coaster that operated at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Great Adventure and later Six Flags AstroWorld as Batman The Escape. In 2007 a colony of Townsend's big-eared bats settled in the ride's engine room. The track was yellow, repainted green in 2002.
