Flying Super Saturator - Carowinds - Roller Coaster

http://www.coasterimage.com

In September of 2008, Carowinds announced a new coaster for 2009 - Carolina Cobra. Exciting news to be sure, but the new coaster was going to be taking the place of the park's Flying Super Saturator coaster.

The Flying Super Saturator was a first-of-its-kind coaster from Setpoint. Added to the Carowinds lineup in 2000, the riders glide along suspended from the track above while being bombarded by various interactive water elements controlled by onlookers around the ride. As retaliation, each 4-seat car is capable of dropping a payload of water on guests below. The whole thing made for an enjoyable experience for all involved.

Dismantling of the coaster began in August of 2008 and the ride was soon listed for sale. Flying Super Saturator is (was?) one of only two suspended water coasters in the world.

Enjoy this look back at Flying Super Saturator as it stood just a month before its removal began.

Who wanted to wait for two hours in this line for this ride? I am glad Carowinds put Carolina Cobra in.

Trading this in for "carolina cobra" was a stupid idea.

living about 5 minutes from carowinds, i can tell you that right after cedar fair came in carowinds became packed, what used to be 3,000 people a day turned into 13,000

This was my favorite water ride ever!! I wish they wouldn't have gotten rid of it :((

[laurenmayfield]

Man I miss this ride =/

[JRNY07]

The Cobra is HORRIBLE as is Nighthawk. Both make me so sick. Intimidator was a great addition but what Carowinds really needs are a) Top Thrill Dragster-like coaster and b) a large indoor waterpark with attached hotel rooms. (believe me, they have the room for both!)
