Cobra's Curse is a Mack spinning coaster with an elevator lift and changing ride directions.
Cobra's Curse starts as an expedition through Busch Gardens Tampa Bay's Egypt area. The train climbs a vertical elevator lift past the Snake King, runs forward and backward, then finishes in free spinning, with the rider mix deciding how the car turns. That keeps each ride slightly different without losing its family-friendly edge.
The coaster sits in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay's Egypt area.
Cobra's Curse opened on June 17, 2016 and mixes controlled ride sections with free spinning, so the exact experience still depends on how the train is loaded.
The story centers on the Snake King and a cursed temple. The queue and station build tension with snake-themed scenery before the elevator lift carries the train up past the giant cobra figure.

Typical wait time: around 20 min.
It usually falls between 10 min and 40 min.
See more than 40 min? It is probably busier than usual — consider a quieter moment.
Less than 10 min? You are in luck: that does not happen often.
6 outages
Outages usually last about 16 min.
Some are over quickly (sometimes within 5 min), others take longer (up to 41 min). That varies per outage.
Already longer than 41 min? The attraction may stay closed a while longer.
