Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has revealed that their newest attraction, Cobra’s Curse will officially open Friday, June 17!

The spin coaster promises to deliver thrills for the entire family throughout the course of the three-and-a-half-minute ride, with coaster trains speeding along at up to 40 mph.

Check out some of the more “striking facts” about the new Cobra’s Curse attraction and pics, provided by Busch Gardens:

  • One-of-a-kind spin coaster features a menacing 30,000-pound snake king icon and a 70-foot vertical lift that will take riders within inches of its 3 foot-wide eyes and 4-foot-long fangs.
  • During the three-and-a-half-minute ride, the coaster trains speed along at 40 mph down 2,100 feet of serpentine-like track, travelling backward, forward and then spinning freely.
  • Guests will experience a new spin with each ride. Each train spins randomly, with frequency and direction determined by the rider weight distribution.
  • The ride’s air-conditioned queue naturally fuels guests’ adrenaline with an immersive themed experience and a state-of-the-art snake exhibit featuring four exotic snake species including some of the world’s most feared and often misunderstood vipers.
  • Riders must be 48 inches to ride, or 42 inches with a parent or guardian.
