On July 4, 2008, 6 days after the official opening of the ride, the front cart fell off the rails and fell to the ground, injuring 4 people. After repairs and testing following the incident, the ride was closed until late May 2009.^[1]

On July 14, 2022, fourteen years after the first incident, a 14-year old girl was killed while riding the Cobra, after the rearmost cart of the ride broke off and was hanging from the rest of the roller coaster. A 13-year-old boy was also injured.^[2][3] This incident resulted in the closure of the park for two days, and a police investigation is, as of July 2022, ongoing to determine the cause.^[4] The ride has also permanently ceased operation due to the incident.^[5]
