I don't think that's been confirmed either way other than a reasonable guess.
There is every chance it could be 1.3m which is still very good for a thrill coaster that appeals to all ages.
As @Coaster Cam has said, we don't even know what rides are going to be in the area yet.

Lawrence Mancey is that you?
It was confirmed to be 1.2m to staff.

I've had a wonderful day at Paultons Park today with the family. My 4 year-old daughter has passed the 1.0 metre tall mark since our last visit meaning that her entry fee went from £0 to £45 which was painful, but we definitely got our money's worth as she can now go on Velociraptor, Flight of the Pterosaur, and even Storm Chaser, all of which she loved and was actually disappointed that they didn't go upside down (coaster count now 32). My 2 year-old also got his first rides on Dino Chase and loved it so overall I am a very proud Daddy. Anyway, at the risk of this becoming a trip report rather than a construction update, here are a few over-the-fence pics of what's going on:
I didn't go on Cobra as it's the only coaster at the park that my daughter can't go on (so there are SIX that she can. Last week we went to Chessington where there are a grand total of ZERO roller coasters that a 1.0m child can ride!).
Regarding the supports I'm not really sure what I'm looking at to be honest - there are a series of large pads as you can see, much larger than individual coaster footings would usually be. Time will tell I suppose.
Here's the building going up next to Cobra's brake run:
Also a quick look at the former log flume site which has no signs of any work ongoing:
Nothing to report on Ghostly Manor by the way.

I imagine this is what the Scorpion Express replacement is going to address but it is weird now you point that out!
Exciting to see so much going on under Cobra, interacting with all those supports could be really fun.

In that first photo, this dug up section looks a lot like a course of a water ride like a flume, water coaster or a shoot the chute
It could be that the two rides they're opening is a coaster and a water ride which could explain why there is only 2 mentioned on that memo posted earlier in this thread.
While its all unconfirmed, it is believed to be that a there will be a water coaster where the go-karts were.In that first photo, this dug up section looks a lot like a course of a water ride like a flume, water coaster or a shoot the chute

There has been a lot of speculation about a water coaster (allegedly from Mack) on the Go Karts site however it's unconfirmed as of right now.
It'd be crazy to hear of Paultons adding a looping (and possibly launch) coaster followed by a water coaster the following year.
I'm sceptical but if this happens, it'd be amazing although am surprised about how long between Raging River going and 2027 for a larger water ride to open.
Kind of hope they don’t go single rail. My daughter is disabled, and I prefer being able to sit next to her on coasters (even if I hate being the accompanying parent with her on Storm Chaser!). Just not sure how she’d be on a single seat coaster, and I know she’d want to ride it if they did put one in.

When I saw the footers in person, my first thought was a water ride. The footers of the 4 current corners are incredibly tight.In that first photo, this dug up section looks a lot like a course of a water ride like a flume, water coaster or a shoot the chute

Can imagine Cobras lift hill and main structure being themed to a mountain/ volcano with a log flume/shoot the chute coming out of it into a nice splashdown. Would make a very nice photo op.
I was thinking the same that this could be a water ride, as I think the coaster is better suited to the go kart area
Nah, it looks like the water ride is where go karts were, which is the 2027 project.

Nothing has been announced either way.
The idea of a water coaster going where the Go Karts and opening a year later is just rumours as of right now.
The footers as of right now appears to be that of a water ride of some form but it could be anything. It could possibly be a coaster although I didn't think it'd be digging a course for a coaster.
There's a possibility that it's two water rides which could be two of a flume, water coaster, Splash Battle, a Mack Rocking Boat or rapids.
Just wondering, what makes you certain that it's going in that particular direction?

Yeah, I think you're right, actually. Cobra is such a small ride, it's more likely that a flume is going under it than a coaster. We'll see though... I guess all will be revealed next month.
I work at the park
But to be fair we don’t really know that much about whats happening atm though.
