Which one was the first Cobra Roll?
Hey, I was just curious. Which Cobra Roll, made by any company, was the first one ever built?

Dude, I just wanted to know. Do you have a problem about me not knowing something? If you do, go solve it up yourself. BTW, I have heard of Drachen Fire at BGW.

Ya know whats funny? You act like an a$$ and you are wrong very funny. The first cobra roll was in fact on the first Vekoma Boomerang.

Does CCI know how to make a bad coaster?

This should stop the pointless arguement:
First Arrow Batwing: Drachen Fire at Busch Gardens Williamsburg (Williamsburg, Virginia) 1992
First B&M Cobra Roll: Kumba at Busch Gardens Tampa (Tampa Bay, Florida) 1993
First Intamin Cobra Roll: Monte Makaya at Terra Encantada (Rio De Janeiro, Brazil) 1998
First Premier Cobra Roll: Outer Limits: Flight of Fear at Paramount King's Dominion (Doswell Virginia) & Paramount King's Island (King's Mill, Ohio) 1996
First Vekoma Boomerang: Escorpion at Reino Aventura (Mexico City, Mexico) 1981
and first inverted cobra roll was on raptor (i think!)
anyone else think that companies dont make as much use of the sea serpant roll as they should??

As much as I love seeing new elements, I have a feeling I wouldn't get the thrill out of a Sea Serpant as I do a Cobra Roll. The change in direction halfway through is what makes them so much fun.

Vertigo, Rock' n Roller coaster in orlando does not have a sea serpent inversion, it is just a regular cobra roll or as Vekoma calls it boomerang. There is a version of RNRC with a sea serpent manuever in I believe SF holland. Just wanted to clarify that fact.
also, Vekoma SLC have the heart beater inversion(thats Vekoma's name for the unique inversion), it is very different from the sea serpent manever. The heart-Beater is similar to a elongated vertical loop with a twist at the top, very different from a cobra roll or sea serpent.

The first inversion on RnRc at Orlando is a Sea Serpent. I'm 100% sure of that. The SFH version has one too. Not being rude BTW.
