Attraction "Cobra", or Epinephrine Gulp

All week we work in anticipation of Friday, becausefor it is a weekend. Everyone is waiting for something interesting these days. But after all, not all have the opportunity to fly over the weekend over Tibet on a hang glider, jump with a parachute or ride a safari. But for today there are a lot of modern attractions, where you can feel no less adrenaline rush. One of those is the attraction "Cobra" (Moscow). It is here that you can experience a fall at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour from the tower, whose height is 46 meters. But first things first.

The attraction "Cobra" is installed in the entertainmentpark "Wheel at the VVC". It's about 5 minutes walk from the main entrance. To get to this extreme entertainment is possible only after passing through the turnstile-screen. What it is? This is a kind of checkpoint, which does not let anyone, whose growth is less than 140 centimeters. It is a twisting element with partitions, which, after missing one, stops for a while waiting for the next applicant with the ticket. It should also be noted that the distance between the metal elements of the construction does not exceed 30 centimeters. It is for this reason that too fat people are also not allowed to pass.

Having passed the selection for the attraction "Cobra", it is necessarychoose a booth. The greatest extreme can be obtained sitting in the front booths, where it is very scary to fly forward, and in the rear - too drags back. The most optimal choice are medium booths. After landing, for each participant, the skeleton is put on top so that only the head and hands are visible from under it. For the safety of riding without fail it is necessary to fasten the belt that goes from the seat to the frame. In each booth a sign with a recommendation is set not to bend forward and keep the head pressed to the headrest.

When everyone has already sat down, the Cobra attraction beginsits "start". At this moment, the rear caravan clings a big hook and begins to drag the whole train back, and then up, to a height of thirty meters. Then this hook detaches, and the composition of the carriages swiftly flies down, then - past the landing platform and forward - to the dead loop. Overcoming it, the composition rapidly rushes forward at an angle of almost 90 degrees. At this moment, the feeling of skiers is unforgettable, especially those who sit in the first trailer. After all, it comes to the very edge, and you can see how the rails come to an end, and ahead - only the sky and clouds.

Here the composition stops for a few secondsand the attraction "Cobra" freezes. And then with a high speed the composition goes down and again - a dead loop, then - the platform and lifting up, but already in reverse. Then everything repeats from the very beginning, but without a hook. The process takes place with the cries of skating participants, which periodically abate, then intensify. After the end of the ride, the entertainer announces that it is necessary to leave to the left. However, being impressed, many do not hear anything and go to the right.

The attraction "Cobra" at VVC is absolutely safe forrights. Summarizing the above, we can conclude that this attraction is combined two: the tower of freefall and the mountain with a dead loop. He works daily from 11 to 23 hours. The cost of one ticket is 250 rubles.
