The Cobra Ride opening in March 2006 at Paultons Park at Ower, near Romsey Hampshire

Construction Photo Diary

September 2005


First steel work for the track arrives and is carefully lifted from the many lorries.	The first columns of the ride are put into position, these will support the track on the first major incline.	Top section of the track begins its ascent to its lofty resting position.	Nearly there, the top of the first incline is carefully lowered into place.


The first incline complete and revealed – looking scarily high up there!	Twisted metal! An exciting steel track section awaits installation.	About half-way there. The Cobra is now visible from the main car park and is beginning to attract attention!	Work continues throughout the day to create Paultons most thrilling attraction yet.


Hold on tight – up and down we go!	The Cobra goes underground as preparations for the ‘tunnel’ are well underway.	The steps are nearly complete giving access to the first incline and revealing an indication of the scale of the ride as it disappears skyward!	Spiralling – Cobra Style.


All the track work is nearing completion.	The Cobras – ready to hatch!	WOW! The mighty Cobra revealed for the first time. All the track work is complete and testing can now begin. There is much work still to do with landscaping etc prior to opening in March 2006. Check back here soon to see the latest photographs.
