I think a eurofighter was one of the better plays they could've done here. Cobra was a relatively unproven model and one of only two to be built (as far as I know). The park very definitely won't go for another pseudo-prototype, likely ever again, due to fears of a similar repeat accident. In fact, the Eurofighter's common appearances & its safety record was directly stated as a reason they went for one.
Yes, something new would've been cool, but I fully understand why they wanted to go for something that's already been done before. I'm just happy that it's a custom layout.
At least it won't have arse-ugly walls surrounding it
