Description: King Cobra was a stand-up roller coaster located at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. Other stand-up roller coasters that preceded King Cobra were sit-down models later modified to accommodate stand-up trains, so King Cobra was the first in the world to be designed from the ground up as a stand-up roller coaster. After the coaster's Japanese manufacturer, TOGO, went out of business in 2001, parts for the ride became more expensive and harder to find, so following the 2001 season, King Cobra was dismantled and put it up for sale. When the ride didn't sell, the track was scrapped and the train's common components were used as spare parts for other rides.
