Carolina Goldrusher POV

Take a ride back to the times of the Carolina gold rush, the first gold rush in the United States. As you climb aboard our mine trains, you'll embark on an adventure that's full of hill-hugging turns, bluff diving drops and rich treasures.
Carolina Goldrusher is the oldest roller coaster at Carowinds, opening with the park on March 31, 1973. Don't let that fun fact fool ya' - this roller coaster is full of spunk and continues to produce as many screams as the day it was debuted.
This wood and steel coaster rips through the Carolina foothills at speeds of 30 mph and features two lift hills and a 43-foot drop. Some call this roller coaster a timeless classic, but one thing is for sure - you'll strike GOLD!
Height Requirement: 48” minimum

This was the first ride I ever did, and Carowinds is my absolute F A V O R I T E park EVER and nothing can change that, every time I ride this it's like I'm back to 7 year old me screaming my head off in excitement.

[@astrinymris9953]

I miss the drop toward the water the Gold Rusher had in the 1970s. The park had lots of ponds then, and even a riverboat ride. I suppose they were a nightmare for mosquito control, but they were cool. RIP, old quirky 1970s Carowinds.

[@8-bitstorm]

Thankfully the riverboat ride still exists in Disney World so it can be experienced. I agree though, the mosquitos would have been hard to deal with.

This is my favorite roller coaster at Carowinds because it's not scary but it's fun

[@Tadpole_Plyrr2]

[@ayguacamole246]

[@athenak3981]

[@alanmorris7669]

It's perfect for kids and the elderly. I've been riding this coaster since I was 7, and now I'm 54 ... see what I mean?

[@GardenGirlD76]

My favorite ride at Carowinds!!! Never take the Goldrusher out!

[@saver_of_serendipity7053]

My favorite thing to do when you get to the top of the big hill is shout "GOLDRUSH haha just kidding" before it goes really fast, because it freaks my little brother out every time

Fun little family coaster

[@jakecalvello8207]

Finnaly a good cgr pov

[@shadowxz_]

this was my second roller coaster, and i underestimated it

[@akersfam4940]

We beg our parents for them and us to ride this ride ever time we go to Carowinds

[@PercydeRoloFangirl]

I rode this earlier today and my mom dragged me on it bc I told her to and it was so good and It was fun if you're scared just ride it it's fun! (A bit of word vomit but i still agree with this)

[@abraveastronaut]

I miss the lake.

[@Tadpole_Plyrr2]

This ride is so fun but it needs to be a little bit longer

[@brickzy2025]

I have a phovia of coasters, but I can do this one I don't know why.

[@subliminals3824]

Yeah that’s how i use to be, i would be scared of big drops. Recently i got on copperhead and enjoyed it although my eyes were closed, and hopefully i’ll be able to get on fury next year because of covid there’s reservations which sucks.

[@Reputationlover89]

I like to call this Fury 32.5

[@SpencEpix]

This is my sisters favorite ride

[@alwynfrench1122]

Very dynamic.

[@VestedUTuber]

Does this thing really even need restraints? I'm pretty sure a properly secured lap belt is enough.

[@Mus-T_Beats]

There are some sharper banks I think

[@jacksonpriestap3685]

I hit my hands on this ride

[@chazzlucas6395]

They should put these trains on Fury 325 before the season officially opens, you know a RUclips coaster channel will get some video of it and post it ..... The coaster enthusiasts on online and on RUclips would lose their freaking minds : )

[@Aerospace_Gaming]

The track gauge is different. As silly as it would be, it is impossible

[@Aerospace_Gaming]

You could though, probably put afterburn's trains on, which would be even sillier

[@andrewwomble2722]

@@Aerospace_Gaming I'd totally be down to watch a Gold Rush train go down Fury's hill and just go flying off the track into God knows where. Especially if they put sparklers and fireworks in the train. Do it on the 4th of July. Fireworks to close out the day and then finish it off with a Gold Rush jump into oblivion.

[@agentstache135]

@@Aerospace_Gaming Also the side wheels on goldrusher are on the inside, Fury’s track is designed for them to be on the outside

[@jeffgiles2310]

Somebody removes this ride and somebody gonna get cut.

You are the GoldRusher

It ain’t that bad
