Hi Nicol, The Monkey Falls ride is commonly what we call a log ride here in the States. I have ridden on several of those, and I always enjoy those. Especially the part where the log you are riding in splashes down into the pool or lake at the end of the ride.
Your Sling Slong ride reminds me of the Demon Drop at Cedar Point. The Demon Drop is basically a tall black tower with a car that holds three people. They get in, stand up in the car, and then it goes way up into the air. All of a sudden it just drops straight down. Definitely don't even think about eating lunch before taking that ride because you'll get the worst case of vertigo of your life. As for the Cobra we have some coasters here at Cedar Point and King's island that make it seem small, but all the same being suspended upside down 32 meters in the air is way up there. That is one really big loop. Just be glad you aren't sighted and aren't forced to look down while zipping along upside down in the air as that is really darn scary. Not for the faint of heart.
