I love this ride and ur not supposed to sit on the sit u do it to position urself then u hold it in to place til they lock it...its called a stand up for a reason
@ChrisTheMagicMan10- the first time i rode it, it did hurt, but then i started squatting just A LITTLE before they lock the seats into place. gives you room to move around just a little but not feel insecure. maybe you should try doing that next time you ride it. it'll be much better. lol(: goodluck!
i went to carowindswith my schools safety patrol and this ride is awsome i think i rode this like 7 times you have to stand up when your riding this and on the loop it feels like your whole body is being pushed down its really fun
The only thing keeping my 7-year-old off this thing was her height. Next year for sure! She rode everything else that was allowed. I used to be scared to ride rollercoasters when I was a kid... my first was at Valley Fair, MN. Interestingly, a descendant company owns both Valley Fair and Carowinds!

@acezeeCyCo Nope. Cobra has just one vertical loop. This has a loop and a corkscrew.

Third best ride here, doesnt come close to top gun. BORG is second, but only when you sit close to the front. Sorry, i still use the original names.

The only thing keeping my 7-year-old off this thing was her height. Next year for sure! She rode everything else that was allowed. I used to be scared to ride rollercoasters when I was a kid... my first was at Valley Fair, MN. Interestingly, a descendant company owns both Valley Fair and Carowinds!
