I love Carowinds! Im gettin a gold pass for next year and every ride there is amazing. This one isnt as good as the others in my opinion, but its still fun!!! :)
@singeratheart123 I got one for christmas! trust me, go on a sunday morning, the park is pretty much empty. you can get in the nighthawk and only wait a minute or two in line.
scary as crap on the first ride, average to the 4h ride. I rode 14 times in a row, and 29 times in a total day. Its just the fun of it that makes it addicting.
You're more likely to see a park with a Boomerang style line than one without. They're cheap, easy to mainain, and pretty fun actually. Even for hardcore coaster riders.
@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom This, Sidewinder at Hershey, Cobra at Powerpark, and Speed of Sound at Walibi Holland(I think its Holland) all have the new trains now. They're awesome. :D
@hoopsnyoyo15 We haven't ridden Sidewinder since they replaced the old trains, but we try it next year when we go back to Hersheypark to ride Skyrush.
First time I've ever rode a coaster like this. Eh, the best part is anticipating the drop because it scares the hell out of you. Other than that it was pretty mediocre.
I got stuck on this coaster on the other half before you go backwards.At the very top as well for about 30 minutes or so...I seriously thought it was going to just go over the edge. ._______. Scary shit...STILL LOVED IT THO. XD
@DannyBoiWaffles it is a clone they have many of these around the world and i have rode one that is much more painful than many others and it is Sidewinder at Hershey Park
Carowinds has some pretty decent coasters......Afterburn (great) Intimidator (great)......Thunder Road (great).....Nighthawk (pretty good).......Hurler (pretty good)...Vortex (too short but decent)..Carolina Cyclone (Ok for 1980)......I like all the "Drop zones" at the theme parks I've been on them.....This Carolina Cobra I have never been on but it does look pretty good...........
When I got there for Scarowinds last year, I was the almost the first in line! The pressure of waiting when you get up there is scary, and the drop is pretty good, too.
@Phriendship I like how you think you're gonna drop & all the new riders look stupid because they start screaming then realize you're just gaining speed to turn...lol xD
Carowinds is still a steaming pile of horse crap when it comes to other theme parks. Intimidator is a good step forward, but they have a long ways to go.
@hchorselover29054 OMG! I know you posted this 2 months ago, but I went yesterday & did the same thing! Everybody was at the waterpark. Dear god, the waterslide lines...
@abcfan72 hehe my dad said something about it. haha. We are going to Carowinds spring break and I go alot but he hant been since like the 80's he goes " Lightning strikes now!!" im like what?
I noticed in the description of this video that the new improved Vekoma trains make this one of the smoothest boomerangs on the planet.......Does this mean that the many other Vekoma Boomerangs didn't get new trains and only Carowinds did?
