The Flying Cobras, Steel roller coaster at Carowinds, United States.
The Flying Cobras features both forward and backward motion along a track with three inversions, reaching speeds of 47 miles per hour at Carowinds park.
Originally installed at Geauga Lake in Ohio as The Mind Eraser in 1996, this Vekoma manufactured coaster moved to Carowinds in 2009 under the name Carolina Cobra.
The 2017 name change to Flying Cobras pays tribute to the traditional air shows that were performed at the Carolina County Fair section of the park.
The roller coaster requires riders to meet a minimum height of 48 inches and operates with over-the-shoulder restraints to ensure passenger safety during inversions.
With its 116-foot elevation and 108-foot drop, the coaster carries passengers through each of its three inversions twice during a single journey.
