The Flying Cobras is one of over 50 Boomerang coasters installed by Vekoma around the world, but it is the first roller coaster to feature the company's re-designed MK-1212 trains. It was renamed The Flying Cobras to pay tribute to the classic air shows that were once seen at the Carolina County Fair, and it also received a new paint scheme with blue track and white supports. On August 18, 2016, Carowinds announced the expansion of County Fair for the 2017 season, which included the refurbishment of Carolina Cobra. It was built in an area of the park formerly housed by Flying Super Saturator, a roller coaster that was dismantled after the 2008 season. Later that year, an announcement stated that Head Spin would be relocated to Carowinds, where it reopened as Carolina Cobra on March 28, 2009.

After Geauga Lake closed in 2007, the coaster was relocated to Carowinds in 2009 and renamed Carolina Cobra.

The Flying Cobras was the first roller coaster addition to Carowinds following the park's purchase by Cedar Fair in 2006.
