The Flying Cobras

An early-era Carolina County Fair was never complete without an air show. So of course, Carowinds' County Fair is complete with an air show of its own – The Flying Cobras.

This coaster sends riders through a 360-degree loop as well as a cobra roll at speeds up to 50 mph. Just as these thrill seekers catch their breath, they fly through the entire ride again, but this time backward. Riders are turned upside down six times on this 125-foot tall, high-speed looping coaster. Guests in County Fair can look to the sky to witness these daring aviation maneuvers of the Flying Cobras.

Seven infamous pilots are responsible for the amazing aerial acrobatics of The Flying Cobras. Each car of the roller coaster train has a different design and stunt pilot. Climb aboard and see which one you will fly with – Chet, Sandy, Flip, Sam, Ace, Gale, or Chuck. The Flying Cobras' queue line is filled with old-fashioned props, including propellers and bios of the two brothers who lead this gang of aerial daredevils.
