That Cobra.... it's Cursed.

Woo, some random construction photos of Busch Gardens Tampa's new Mack spinning coaster, Cobra's Curse. Set to open sometime in the summer of 2016. These photos are a little older now... as the ride is now fully complete and allegedly testing.
Beware? Be sure to put your hand in the box....
(of the 5 people I was at the park with... Only I was ""brave"" enough to do it...)
The ride will start off with this fancy looking 70 foot Elevator Lift. Its bright colors kinda feel out of place alongside Montu and the rest of the Egypt area.. but I'm sure it'll grown on me in time.
After the first part of the ride is completed, the train will enter a secondary, possibly launched lift into this lovely looking drop.
And then right into a number of back to back banked curves like this, while the car is freely spinning.
When it was first announced I kinda blew it off... but after thinking about it a little and seeing it in person, I think Cobra could end up being the sleeper hit of 2016 and unlike the parks past most recent coaster... this time its being marketed properly and since its still somewhat under the radar... could turn out pretty good.
Oh hey... And its uh, that guy... With one of Cobra's cars on display.

And the teaser for Cobra's Cruse from Busch Gardens' YouTube.
Soon?
(....But I'm still more excited for Mako :D)
