BavarianBeatle Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I always liked King Cobra. Especially when it had the water in the helix. 1 Quote
markr Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 While I have always preferred Mantis, I must admit that King Cobra will always have a special place in my heart. I remember riding it for the first time in 1987 with my friend Doreen and being absolutely terrified and closing my eyes. It took a few years for me to adapt to it. Quote
jlopez Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 The first time I rode King Cobra was also the last yea it was open. i only rode it once. I really wish I would have rode it more than that. It was my first stand up coaster. Quote
Jasper Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I got the chance to ride the Cobra while it was still at KI. Do not really remember it however, I was younger and do not really recall the ride experience. Quote
ohiocolts Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Looks fun! What is the Olympic logo for? Quote
markr Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I would guess that he Olympic logo was displayed because the ride was supposed to be like a bobsled ride. Quote
joecoaster Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Loooooved Bayern Kurve as a kid. It seemed to go so fast. Always a favorite. Quote
KIfan1980 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Bayern Kurve is the ride I most associate with going to KI with my parents as a kid - great memories! The Olympic rings did tie into the bobsled theme as each "car" was a sled from a different country - as a kid, I was always trying to t into one of the good winter Olympic country sleds (not USA like most people).

jcgoble3 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Can one of the old guys around here explain the story behind that to us young'uns? Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I assume the media event for that day was quite rainy cruddy. So I assume that this is a Hey come back to kI on us since that one day was really bad.... (of course...I could be really wrong...) Also, the picture is amazing! Very Very VERY! Cool! Quote
