The 70 foot tall compact coaster has 3 inversions, 40mph top speed and top G force of 4.5g. It will have 2 trains featuring 2 abreast seating in 5 rows. IContruction has started for opening later this year.

Went there last summer...quite a nice little park.

Nice to see them putting in a new coaster...good reason to go back there.

After the incident last summer where part of a train derailed and fell to the ground the park is aiming to reopen Cobra this April. Henrik Ragborg Olesen, CEO, confirmed that the trains are being reconstructed as the TUV inspectors determined they were the cause of the accident. Once repaired and rebuilt the German TUV will reinspect the ride in time for it to open in april.

Don't be mean to Pinfari, they've helped boost many coaster counts with their Big Apples.
