Amusement Parks: Paulton's Park pickle - update
It appears that Paulton's Park may try to get clearance from the NPA for the Cobra roller coaster as it may be the quieter of the 2 rides and did not garner near as much criticism by the park's opposition as did the newly installed Edge Disk-O coaster.

) In a recent article, a spokesperson for Paultons confirmed that an application has been lodged with the NPA to retain the Cobra ride.
A more telling comment was made by one of the seven NPA members who voted against the application, Totten councillor Alan Weeks who said: “I can’t pre-judge what decision will be made in relation to the proposal to retain the Cobra. However, at the meeting last month there was an indication that members would probably have supported the application if it had been the Cobra on its own.”
