Cobra is a steel roller coaster at La Ronde amusement park in Montreal, Canada. It originally opened in 1988 and is one of 3 Stand-up coasters manufactured by Intamin.
The roller coaster was relocated in 1994 from the Skara Sommarland amusement park in Sweden, where it was known as the Stand Up. In 2007 it was announced that a colony of Townsend's big-eared bats had settled in the ride's engine room. Le Cobra is a clone of the Shockwave coaster that was at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Great Adventure, and later at Six Flags Astroworld as Batman: The Escape. Cobra only has one inversion (a loop), a turnaround dive hill, and a helix through the only loop.
Unlike B&M built stand-up coasters, this ride is considered rougher then most roller coasters of its kind. The ride is over 20 years old (originally built in 1988) which has led to it becoming rough over time. However, most Intamin stand-up roller coasters are considered rough. The two Intamin engineers of this ride and Shockwave, the ride Cobra is a clone of, went on to found B&M a few years later.
