Carowinds is the premier roller coaster park in the southeast. This Charlotte amusement park spans 2 states and features 14 different roller coasters. Paramount owned the park until 2006 and ever since Cedar Fair took over, the park has grown significantly with two massive B&Ms among other attractions.

1. Fury 325 2. Copperhead Strike 3. Afterburn 4. Intimidator 5. Nighthawk Also the acceleration on Copperhead's launch was made faster this year. It's still not a great launch, but a bit better than before.

@CanobieCoaster 2 года назад

It didn't seem better than past years to me.

@AdamSmith-gs2dv 2 года назад

Mountain Gliders has the stopper so you can't snap it hard. I'm spoiled though because I rode the ones at Knoebels and it's insane how much you can snap that one

@CanobieCoaster 2 года назад

Except the ops at Knoebels often stop you and I've been advised by a friend working there not to.

@addiree5436 2 года назад

the fact that flying cobras isn’t on this list is so disappointing, it’s much better than carolina cyclone and vortex

I couldn’t decide between Afterburn or Copperhead Strike, but i’m fairly certain that this is my official top 5 list at this park: 1. Fury 325 2. Copperhead Strike 3. Afterburn 4. Intimidator 5. Nighthawk

@CanobieCoaster 2 года назад

Copperhead and Intimidator fight for number 2 for me. Intimidator was running good in March.

@joseppyy 2 года назад

After having visited Carowinds several times myself, I've come to rank my top 4 rides in the park as: 1. Fury 325 2. Afterburn 3. Copperhead Strike 4. Intimidator I know some people may be confused about Afterburn being ahead of CS, but I just can't ever pass up those good, forceful oldschool B&M's!

@CanobieCoaster 2 года назад

I completely understand putting Afterburn that high.

@SlimFury Месяц назад

After a recent visit, I had a shift in my list 1 Fury 325, still number 1 to this date. There was a great ride op who motivated guests to board fast. 2 Copperhead Strike, this moved up on my list. I enjoyed it more than in 2022. The launches felt a little more powerful. 3 Afterburn, still one of the strongest and most interesting inverts by B&M 4 Thunder Striker, this made a big jump up on my coaster ranks, moving to the upper tier. The amount of sustained floater air was awesome. 5 Nighthawk, I finally got to ride it and found it very fun. 6 Drop Tower 7 Electrospin 8 Do se Do 9 The Air Race, I fogot its name 10 Windstar

@CanobieCoaster Месяц назад

Thunder Striker and Intimidator has run better post covid.

@matchesmalone2201 2 года назад

Fury325 is obviously a legend and worth the hype, but I was happy to see Copperhead Strike at number 2. The theming, weird layout, hang time, and down right fun seems really underrated in the coaster community to me.

@SlimFury 10 месяцев назад

From 7 to 1 7 Do Si Do. I like how this flat ride spins, but also elevates you. 6 Electrospin. The world needs more of these rides. 5 Drop Tower. It may be short, but it packs a punch 4 Intmidator. This is a good coaster, but it can't match the 3 above it. 3 Copperhead Strike. This is like a toned down Maverick. Still fun and has great themeing. Mack needs to beef up their launches though. 2. Afterburn. This is one of the most powerful B&M inverts out there. The brakes do hit hard though. 1 Fury 325. This is my number 1. It has it all, speed, power, airtime, and great length.

@OklahomaCoasterFan 2 года назад

I was happy to see the respect for Vortex. Same top 3 for me. Honestly, I think I'd put Nighthawk as my # 4 ahead of Afterburn. Maybe I wouldn't say that if the Vekoma flyers were just as common as B&M inverts. Afterburn did run much slower for me last year compared to 2018. I was surprised how many of the general public I talked to that said that their favorite in the park was Intimidator over Fury. I heard a lot of that on both my 2018 & 2021 visits.

@@breew1702 That's what others would say as well, and I realized that Intimidator does have not only more airtime, but it's just as strong as Fury's, if not stronger. I think the sense of speed that Fury maintains is what wins me over, or I'm unknowingly just following the pack in the Fury love.

@Paolo8772 2 года назад

I've noticed from POVS that Intimidator doesn't trim during the MCBR because it usually trims twice before it, which is even WORSE! It's bad enough there's a turnaround right after the drop but then to have the 1st two camelbacks (each separated by another turnaround) trimmed is infamy! Don't get me wrong: I love the long ride time and staggered seating trains but I'd imagine that it's the worst of the 4 w staggered seating B&M hypers which I'd argue are even better for floater airtime. Shambala is slightly short, (in length, not height); Diamondback is perfect for floater but it has a rattle, but I've not ridden any except Behemoth which I love, and I'm sure I'd love Fury 325 even better.
