I went to Carowinds yesterday, so a few comments. 1. Hurler has terrible headbanging even with the pillow seats, and all my friends hated it. 2. Afterburn is hidden in the back of the park, so the line was very short, and it was among the best rides. 3. Fury is great and generally really smooth, and I think had 3 different airtime sections. 4. nighthawk is a fantastic coaster, it is very intense and everybody should ride it. The fact you are facing backwards makes it even better, but facing up is annoying on sunny days. also, it breaks down WAY too often. 5. It's important to see how fast the lines in rides move. Fury, intimidator, and afterburn move really fast because they run 3, 3, and 2 trains respectively while Flying Cobras is very slow because it can only run 1 train.
Tim Shore no. The B&M rattle is unbearable on Fury. I love the drop on it but it rattles so much I got a migraine from my head hitting the back of the chair. I thought that vortex was pretty fun. I think because I’m so short, my head would just fit inbetween the over the shoulder restraints. Also I loved nighthawk. Smooth. And very fun and I was in the middle row
You have to go back to Carowinds and ride Copperhead Strike! It was awesome! Though it wasn't very forceful, it had awesome transitions, the inversions were really fun; you get so much hang time, it was super smooth, and the airtime was surprisingly fantastic. Probably my second favorite coaster in the park, right behind Fury.
I worked there two summers. One was before paramount owned it and the 2nd was right after the purchase. We were given a very strict speech that we had to always say “paramount’s carowinds” and if we were heard not using “Paramounts” we would be reported and written up. There wasn’t much else that changed.
I love your channel and have gotten hooked on the rides. After seeing your review of Hershey’s coasters, I got my parents to take a trip to Pennsylvania. Thank you!
Ah, you just missed out on Thunder Road by a couple of years. Big wooden out and back dueling coaster, with one train going forward and the other going backward the whole way. I went to Carowinds every week all summer for about 3 years (bless you, season passes) with my best friend in middle school, and every time we went we'd ride that at least 10 times. Lines were short on the backward train (plus, iirc it was usually the one that won), so we'd just get to stay in our seats and ride it on repeat. Hurler's okay, but Thunder Road was absolutely awesome. So much air time. Wish we'd had Fury 325 and the Intimidator back then, those are absolutely incredible. I really miss Thunder Road though, I walk by there every time I go to the park now and it's just sad.
nice review. i grew up in the 80s & went to carowinds a dozen times. some random memories include throwing up after riding the oaken bucket 3 times in a row, getting a stiff neck after riding carolina cyclone for the first time & being super nervous, getting stuck halfway through thunder road & the power going off, intentionally getting splashed by rip roaring rapids on hot summer days & riding scooby doo 10 times in a row because i was too short to ride any adult coasters. i remember white lightning scaring the crap out of me & my friends when we were kids & the urban legends about the front car going off the end a few times & dumping people out to their deaths. i finally rode it several times as a teenager & it really wasn't that bad. carowinds will always be part of my childhood & brings fond memories of ragtime music, the smell of popcorn & the sound of roller coasters whooshing by.
Every year our school takes a visit to Carowinds and I couldn’t be more excited 😄 Thanks for making this video, now I can know which ones will be bumpy and uncomfortable 💕
I lost my glasses on Flying Ace. The headbanging was so bad, it snapped the side of my glasses and they fell down to the grass, never to be seen again.
My Top 13 13: Lucy's Krabbie Kabbies (Kiddie Coaster) 12: Ricochet (I thought this was trash, super jerky, rough, and just a piece of garbage) 11: Flying Ace Aerial Chase (Roughest coaster I've ever ridden, it's so painful, and I guess it's a junior SLC LOL) 10: Carolina Goldrusher (I didn't think this was that good, I thought it was boring and bland, and it was kind of rough) 9: Woodstock Express (I surprisingly enjoyed this) 8: Nighthawk (I rode it in the front and it wasn't garbage, but still super bumpy) 7: Carolina Cyclone (I surprisingly thought this was a decent coaster) 6: Hurler (this blew my mind, it was a nice wooden coaster) 5: Vortex (only stand up I've ridden, I got a little head banging, but I enjoyed this) 4: The Flying Cobras (I rode it when it was Carolina Cobra) 3: Afterburn (OMG BEST INVERT EVER!!! It is so intense, it is very smooth, and it's so much fun) 2: Intimidator (this is incredible, the airtime is fantastic, and the whole ride is just amazing, that drop surprisingly made me grey out which shocked me) 1: Fury 325 (my number one coaster as well, it is good in every way, that's all I gotta say LOL)
Taking everything you said about Carolina Goldrusher, you would really like Adventure Express at Kings Island or River King Mine Train at Six Flags St. Louis (my 2 favorite Arrow Mine Trains)
great list! i put afterburn at #2 that ride is intense. Fury was outstanding you can feel the speed through out the whole ride, and you all most greyout at the bottom of the first hill, Amazing Ride!!!!
I used to work operating vortex and every driver have to test the ride before the park open. We call it "the nutcracker" (self explanatory). That ride grew up on me. Like a rash. The only good thing working at that ride was, our line is always the shorter one in the whole park. Even on insanely busy days. But i am EXTREMELY happy see my home park on here. And yes, the list is pretty accurate. I looove ricochet, nighthawk and afterburn. I encourage you to try the new one. You gonna LOVE IT! Tons of air time and is insanely fun.
I loved the Carolina goldrusher! I was scared of riding roller coasters but I rode this one and started to work out my confidence of riding roller coasters
I am only 9 years old and I went on the Fury 325. I have to admit, it was pretty fun. I went on it 2 times, then I had to leave. Actually, it was kind of slow in my opinion, my fav ride was the ricochet. I really enjoyed Carowinds, but now I am back at home with my cute dog and I have no girls in my family, just women
I am kind of like my dad, I am brave to do a lot of things that are really scary to other people and it is not that scary actually, all I want to say is if u go to Carowinds, I hope you have a great time and make sure to ride the Fury 325!:)
Leahs Lifestyle I'm 10 turning 11 on Tuesday October 17th (3 days from now) and I'm going to Carowinds today and I'm gonna ride it I hope it's fun and I don't poop my self lol
Glad you mentioned Montu. That is my personal fav as well, but I'd put Alpengeist at BG Williamsburg at #2 and Afterburn at #3. Great video! Love Carowinds!
Now you have to go back and try out our new ride! It’s called copper head strike, it was put in this past summer of 2019. I love the fury, but honestly the new ride is just as fun if you enjoy double launches and many loops that hang you upside down.
Went this past monday and rode fury 325 23 times, 13 of which were marathon by sitting in the train every time we went into the station. Lines werent bad so they didn't make me get up. Best roller coaster ive ever ridden so far.
Warning!: on the way up: you gonna be evaluating everything you did wrong with your life. On the way down in the first drop: you life gonna flash before your eyes. Yep. Just be ready. Lol
I rode all of these and my top three are 3: Nighthawk 2: Fury 325 1: Afterburn I prefer faster coasters, especially because that was the last one we rode, all the wind cooled us down.
Byleric because that would hurt for a guy think about it your feet are off the ground and there is a seat under you that holds you up and just one shoulder harnes and imagine how bad that would hurt a guy and think about all the painful inversions
Carowinds is about 30 mins from where I live! I'm not tall enough to ride the Fury, but hopefully, when I go there fore Summer camp, I will be! Flying Cobras was the first one I ever rode. Also, one time, I was in the dinosaur land area, and I saw the Intimidator stuck at the top of one of the hills! But I think they were just testing it again since it was the end of the day.
Would love to see a former coasters episode. Carowinds use to be my home park back in the day. Still hurts knowing I never got to ride Thunder Road one last time that was my favorite coaster there.
Afterburn used to be called Top Gun when Paramount owned the park. When you got to the station, Danger Zone played. It was so cool. I believe one of the model planes is still there.
I love the Hurler, Afterburn (I rode it back when it was Top Gun), and the Goldrush is fun as a hell. But I wish you had a chance to ride Thunder Road. My childhood was that coaster, and I hated it when they took it out, I mean I nearly cried. Unfortunately as a larger fella I couldn't ride Nighthawk, (back when it was called the Borg Assimilator.) . I know they make coasters with the average in mind but so many cool looking coasters do not like big/wide people.
I wish you could have gone when Thunder Road was still there. It and Fury 325 only overlapped 1 year but it was truly the crown jewel of the Carolinas and my favorite wooden roller coaster. It’s missed by everyone that road it.
Fury 325 is INSANE!!! My butt levitated out of the seat for almost the whole ride! And I SWEAR that first drop is at a larger than 180 drop!! I can't wait to go back!
I haven't rode after burn but when you said "montu" i was like oh yeah! that's my favorite b&m invert i have ever rode and the only b&m invert i have ever rode
Last time I went to this park was in 2007 and I wanna say all the rides names seemed to have changed. They had Top Gun, The Borg, Carolina Cyclone off the top of my head.
My dad and sister begged me to ride the Vortex once. Once done, my crotch and stomach was hurting bad. I threw up and had to lay down in the brick planters for about 30 minutes while Mom and Dad argued for the rest of the trip about who's fault it was and should they take me home. We never went on that stand up ride again. Surprisingly, I actually have a good tolerance for certain roller coasters. I went on fury 325 without greying out at all, so I dont know why I got sick on the vortex. Maybe it was my nerves combined with the roughness? IDK.
Carowinds is my hometown theme park, and I agree for the most part. My favorite coaster is the Goldrusher, it's not too thrilling but still really fun!
The Fury honestly is the best ride ever. My dad owns a fence business and they did all the fencing around the Fury and the newest ride I cant remember the name of it. My dad and the guys that work for him were actually on the second run of the fury that had people on it.
I was at the Carowinds last Friday and I don’t like roller coasters at all. They just scare me to death. I managed to get on 1 ride while I was there. I rode the Carolina Goldrusher. I will say it is probably one of my favorite ones I’ve ridden. I know it isn’t much more than a kiddy coaster but I kinda liked it. I was a little scared but it wasn’t that bad and I might ride it again if I ever go back. They definitely weren’t getting me on the Fury or anything though.
@@AveragePicker yeah. It seems to be. It's kinda both more intense than I thought and kinda not. It's about as much as I can handle. The Carolina Goldrusher to me is kinda like the Fury to others. Then the Fury to me is I'm scared for my life. I didn't ride it but I know that's how I'd be.
Bruuuhh the best place in Atlanta. I went there in 2019 and the roller coaster that went upside down I screamed for my mother😂😂😂. I went an the kiddy's hawk alot of times. I wanna go again some time
Our band class went there last year and the whole class ride the Fury and it was fun and rode all the other rides. I loved the Afterburn, Intiminator and Fury.
I've ridden Nighthawk last year in the FBC, and it was terrible. Maybe you went on a good day but it was so rough I needed to ride Windseeker right after each time to relax my head
Snorted a tiny bit when you got to number 3 and I realized the non-vortex B&Ms were the only ones remaining. Predictable list? Sure, but those opinions are predictable for a reason. All 3 are great coasters.
Woodstock Express was made just 2 years before Carowind’s even opened! Edit: even goldrusher was made when carowind’s open just a few months later lmao
I just went to carowinds Today! And just to be clear, the Afterburn was HELL. It was my first time on it though. The first drop was painful. And the coaster kept pulling my head down and couldn't get it in its right position. The Nighthawk and Cobra were nice. I was going to ride the rest of rides but it started to rain😥. When I go back again atleast ill be prepaired for the Afterburn😁.
We think this vid is supper accurate!! I love how you put vortex at 13 it should have been 99. Totally right about the hang time in intimidator and a night time front row ride in the fury 325 is literally the best!!!! ❤️😀😜
This list is out of order, more in specific the top three. It is supposed to go: 3. Fury 325 2. Intimidator 1. Afterburn Not Afterburn, then Intimidator, then Fury. Hurler at Number 4 is the perfect spot for it. I enjoyed it a lot more than I should have, being a somewhat rickety wooden coaster, and it not being the smoothest one, but I think Hurler really deserves the spot. Carolina Cyclone, however, should be higher on the list, as I don't think it is as bad as you say it is. I thought is was rather fun, with loops, corkscrews, and semi-intense helix at the end. I think it deserves a second chance.
I went to Carowinds in the 1970s and 80s, and the Goldrusher was the only coaster I really liked. Thunder Road was so bumpy I was afraid the track might collapse under me. Goldrusher was a lot smoother. I didn't even attempt White Lightning. I looked at it and said "Nope!" ;-D And of all of them, Goldrusher is the one which is still there, after all these years. Cool.
I've been there for 6 years, stopped going, and I'm returning this year! I'm so excited Edit: every time I go I ride the Woodstock Express and one year my dad's hat flew off xD also when riding the Intermediater I couldn't even sit back! Everyone thought I fell asleep...
This is my home park and I think its greatly underrated. But you know what? I'm okay with that because I have never been to another park with wait times as short as Carowinds. You can get more rides in here than anywhere else.
Hurler: "A Nice, Painless experience." Yeah I cried when I rode that and I'm 14.. then again not everyone is going to love coasters, I try to enjoy them it's just I'm not comfortable with going that fast, it makes me feel unsafe. I'm hoping to get rid of that fear when I go this summer, hopefully I'll be able to ride the Copperhead Strike. I also made my dad a promise that I'd go on the Afterburn with him and I don't intend on backing out. WISH ME LUCK AND HOPE I DON'T HAVE A HEART ATTACK QvQ
Honestly, the Hurler does feel a lot better than it used to but the headaches are killer if you aren't expecting it. I'm glad they made the effort to maintain it. Personally, I always preferred Thunder Road and I am still sad that it's gone.
Thunder Road was awesome. But i do remember while working at the water park section watching boards fall off of it on occasion. First time I saw one fall I called my manager and asked if we needed to report it and I got a, “I don’t know.”
Afterburn (Which will always be called Top Gun in my heart) was better when it had a tunnel. It used to go underground briefly, not sure when they changed it, probably after the Cedar Fair buy out. But that was my very first steal coaster ever and it holds a special place in my heart. And the kid's wooden coaster (which I still call the Scooby Doo coaster, I grew up at Carowinds, I can't help it) was my first wooden coaster. Lots of nostalgia here.
I can't believe goldrush, cyclone, and Scooby Doo (woodstock express) are still there. From time to time I do wonder if white lighting is still breaking down at least once a day in where ever it went off to. I rode hurler when it first opened and asked another employee if they were still trying to pound the nails into it. It was pretty rough. I don't remember the seats having cushions.
Woodstock express was my first coaster (even though I rode the kings island one) and I really need to go back to kings island now that I’m a enthusiast
Wow, 475 views in just a couple hours? I'm honestly shocked. Thanks for checking out the video! :)
now you call a bunch more
Little did he know
Afterburn is my favorite! I ride it every time I go! Not to mention the line is always really short so I spend most of my time on it. :3
Same
Same I love afterburn Infact I rode it on Saturday lol
It’s my favorite too! My siblings get too nauseous but I could ride it 10 times over
Cooper Does Stuff thank you
Have you heard of fury 325 it’s a whole lot better
i grew up going to carowinds and know my way around that park like the back of my hand, i love it so much.
Todomo ik!! Carowinds has always been the closest park to me and I still love going!!
Im moving to North Carolina and i know Busch Gardens Tampa like the back of my hand
Same, you from Rock Hill as well.
Same i get season passes every year and scarowinds is very fun
Same here! Go Carowinds!
Flying Cobras wasn't it named Carolina cobra before? I went to Carowinds in 2015 and I swear the track was orange with green support pole things
It was; it was re-painted and re-themed this year. It was also at Geauga Lake; that's where it was first built in 1996.
haylie21 aj yes they renamed it and repainted it
haylie21 aj They just did a remake over on Carolina cobra but they changed the name to flying cobras
haylie21 aj yes it was
haylie21 aj it was changed when they created the county fair rides, and they included it in the area, so they changed the name
I went to Carowinds yesterday, so a few comments.
1. Hurler has terrible headbanging even with the pillow seats, and all my friends hated it.
2. Afterburn is hidden in the back of the park, so the line was very short, and it was among the best rides.
3. Fury is great and generally really smooth, and I think had 3 different airtime sections.
4. nighthawk is a fantastic coaster, it is very intense and everybody should ride it. The fact you are facing backwards makes it even better, but facing up is annoying on sunny days. also, it breaks down WAY too often.
5. It's important to see how fast the lines in rides move. Fury, intimidator, and afterburn move really fast because they run 3, 3, and 2 trains respectively while Flying Cobras is very slow because it can only run 1 train.
Rory H agreed
Nighthawk sucks, its too rough and the operations are shit
dude you need shoulder restraints for head banging, hurler didn't have shoulder restraints
Rory H head banging only happens with OTSR restraints and you call night hawk a fantastic coaster?! Wtf
I love the hurler but I didn't get to ride the Afterburn.And I love the Fury and Intimadator maybe the cobra

Thank you!! I live in Charlotte and totally agree that the vortex hurts

Abby Kirby I live 45 minuets away from Charlotte
Yea, I did it for the first time and it hurt soooooo bad
Abby Kirby me to
Abby Kirby. Omg it did I went on it today for 1 time
Totally agree Vortex the worst, Fury the best. Perfect rankings!!
people don't know how to properly ride standups
^^^^
@@kevinthompson6986 how do you do it?

Got off with a high pitched voice
I just went there yesterday. AND AFTERBURN WAS LEGIT
The loop was the craziest part in my opinion
Is it scary? I'm 9 and so it might be more scarier for me Cuz I'm a kid
Precious Stacks depends on who you are, my nine year old sister is obsessed with rides, but yeah, it is very intense.
I went to carowinds back when it called paramount carowinds and I love the ride back when it was called top gun
it felt like i was going in a straight line for me
I disagree with you on Carolina Cyclone. it doesn't seem like much, but it's still one of my favorite rollercoasters out there.
Rob Baker I have to disagree because it hurts my head really bad and I get a headache from it
Rob Baker same with me I really like the Carolina Cyclone
ᑌᑎIᑕOᖇᑎ ᏢᎡᏆNᏟᎬᏚᏚ its a good arrow looper compared to Anaconda at KD or Steamin Demon at the Great escape

Rob Baker cyclone has always been my favorite! Since I was too short to even ride I’d sneak on anyways! Lol

@@diamondjebgold9906 Wow I can’t believe you replied to a 3 year old comment
The age doesn’t matter, it’s the comment that does 😎
Fun Fact: Carolina Goldrusher is the oldest rollercoaster at Carowinds
The Lawl is the *LAWL* and one of the best
Really? I thought it was the Hurler. Hmm!!! That's so cool!
ik
He is crazy tho night hawk is awesome!
fr
Yes! Finally someone who likes that ride
Definitely one of my favorites!
YES!!
It makes me want to shoot my self in the head tbh
I remember going to Carowinds...it’s changed so much. Anyone remember the Nick rides?
Kamcion Thats back when they were owned by paramount. Good times
NPC#789132 They were owned by Paramount? Huh. I wonder what happened.

*Welcome to ricochet, the park's 11th roller coaster!*
Oh god the flash bac k s
Cedar Flags lol yeah that gets annoying
oh my god i literally screamed when I saw this
I always ended up thinking why 11 rollercoasters are something to brag about.
I road this once never waist time on it ever again lol

I’d like to see a remastered version of this video considering copperhead strikes release since then
I lost my glasses on Flying Ace. The headbanging was so bad, it snapped the side of my glasses and they fell down to the grass, never to be seen again.
I love it! keep up the good videos man :)
My Top 13
13: Lucy's Krabbie Kabbies (Kiddie Coaster)
12: Ricochet (I thought this was trash, super jerky, rough, and just a piece of garbage)
11: Flying Ace Aerial Chase (Roughest coaster I've ever ridden, it's so painful, and I guess it's a junior SLC LOL)
10: Carolina Goldrusher (I didn't think this was that good, I thought it was boring and bland, and it was kind of rough)
9: Woodstock Express (I surprisingly enjoyed this)
8: Nighthawk (I rode it in the front and it wasn't garbage, but still super bumpy)
7: Carolina Cyclone (I surprisingly thought this was a decent coaster)
6: Hurler (this blew my mind, it was a nice wooden coaster)
5: Vortex (only stand up I've ridden, I got a little head banging, but I enjoyed this)
4: The Flying Cobras (I rode it when it was Carolina Cobra)
3: Afterburn (OMG BEST INVERT EVER!!! It is so intense, it is very smooth, and it's so much fun)
2: Intimidator (this is incredible, the airtime is fantastic, and the whole ride is just amazing, that drop surprisingly made me grey out which shocked me)
1: Fury 325 (my number one coaster as well, it is good in every way, that's all I gotta say LOL)
Taking everything you said about Carolina Goldrusher, you would really like Adventure Express at Kings Island or River King Mine Train at Six Flags St. Louis (my 2 favorite Arrow Mine Trains)
Me: looks at title
Also me: we all know what number 1 is.
Knew what 1 and 2 was
i been to carowinds and its so much fun im going to the water park at carowinds

Went this past monday and rode fury 325 23 times, 13 of which were marathon by sitting in the train every time we went into the station. Lines werent bad so they didn't make me get up. Best roller coaster ive ever ridden so far.
I just rode the after burn today with class never opened my eyes
Holy hell I can't believe Fury is a 95 miles per hour steel coaster that's just insane. It looks unbelievable I have to ride this ride before I die
Warning!: on the way up: you gonna be evaluating everything you did wrong with your life. On the way down in the first drop: you life gonna flash before your eyes. Yep. Just be ready. Lol
Arkane Bones lol yea going up that first hill I was just going “I’m gonna die I’m gonna die I’m gonna die I’m gonna die”
I rode all of these and my top three are
3: Nighthawk
2: Fury 325
1: Afterburn
I prefer faster coasters, especially because that was the last one we rode, all the wind cooled us down.
I JUST CAME UP WITH SOMETHING
A STAND-UP FLYING COASTER.

Byleric because that would hurt for a guy think about it your feet are off the ground and there is a seat under you that holds you up and just one shoulder harnes and imagine how bad that would hurt a guy and think about all the painful inversions
ben 200 iq lol
You know arrow loopers are bad when a KIDDY COASTER is higher than it
Carowinds is about 30 mins from where I live! I'm not tall enough to ride the Fury, but hopefully, when I go there fore Summer camp, I will be! Flying Cobras was the first one I ever rode. Also, one time, I was in the dinosaur land area, and I saw the Intimidator stuck at the top of one of the hills! But I think they were just testing it again since it was the end of the day.
Would love to see a former coasters episode. Carowinds use to be my home park back in the day. Still hurts knowing I never got to ride Thunder Road one last time that was my favorite coaster there.
I went there for my orchestra field trip!It was a blast!My favorite ride was the after burn or fury.
Afterburn used to be called Top Gun when Paramount owned the park. When you got to the station, Danger Zone played. It was so cool. I believe one of the model planes is still there.
Ha call the hurler painless I LITTUALLY KEPT BANGING MY HEAD ON THE RIDE
IKR everyone loves it so much and says it’s “smooth” and I’m like the hell i hate it more than vortex
@@thecommenter7001 so true
The word Gigacoaster sends chills down my spine for no reason..
I love the Hurler, Afterburn (I rode it back when it was Top Gun), and the Goldrush is fun as a hell. But I wish you had a chance to ride Thunder Road. My childhood was that coaster, and I hated it when they took it out, I mean I nearly cried. Unfortunately as a larger fella I couldn't ride Nighthawk, (back when it was called the Borg Assimilator.) . I know they make coasters with the average in mind but so many cool looking coasters do not like big/wide people.
I wish you could have gone when Thunder Road was still there. It and Fury 325 only overlapped 1 year but it was truly the crown jewel of the Carolinas and my favorite wooden roller coaster. It’s missed by everyone that road it.
"The best roller coster ive ever ridden PERIODT" I know hes serious but thay was HIGHLARIOUS
Quivarus Elkins
* I’ve
*period
*he’s
* hilarious
The Afterburn is my FAVORITE. I've ridden it like 100 times man
Gilana Sims it was the first coaster i ever rode at carowinds
I love how everyone in this comment section is being so nice, instead of hating. Us North Carolinians rock!
Fury 325 is INSANE!!! My butt levitated out of the seat for almost the whole ride! And I SWEAR that first drop is at a larger than 180 drop!! I can't wait to go back!
I just went yesterday, favorite ride is Afterburn, can't wait to go back
It’s nice that everyone’s favorite ride is the Fury
Why did you make Crabbie Cabbie your 75th credit when it could've been Fury 325?
do you think you could do another list about the other rides? carowinds has just *so* much to offer it'd be a shame to never give it credit
I haven't been to carowinds in awhile... they've added quite a few roller coasters since I've been there definitely going next summer
I enjoy your top lists...thank you!
I haven't rode after burn but when you said "montu" i was like oh yeah! that's my favorite b&m invert i have ever rode and the only b&m invert i have ever rode
Well it sure is a GREAT B&M invert to ride! Montu looks fucking awesome
Last time I went to this park was in 2007 and I wanna say all the rides names seemed to have changed. They had Top Gun, The Borg, Carolina Cyclone off the top of my head.
My dad and sister begged me to ride the Vortex once. Once done, my crotch and stomach was hurting bad. I threw up and had to lay down in the brick planters for about 30 minutes while Mom and Dad argued for the rest of the trip about who's fault it was and should they take me home.
We never went on that stand up ride again.
Surprisingly, I actually have a good tolerance for certain roller coasters. I went on fury 325 without greying out at all, so I dont know why I got sick on the vortex. Maybe it was my nerves combined with the roughness? IDK.
😁😁😁😁😁
People who barficate after a ride are hilarious
This is a fantastic review! Do you have anything like this that breaks down the coasters at Dollywood w/such accuracy?
Here is my ranking:
14 Kiddy Hawk
13 Wilderness Run
12 Carolina GoldRusher
11 Vortex
10 Ricochet
9 Woodstock Express
8 Carolina Cyclone
7 The Flying Cobras
6 Nighthawk
5 Hurler
4 Afterburn
3 Intimidator
2 Copperhead Strike
1 Fury 325
noooooooooooooooo
Please tell me if the after burn is scary?
Carowinds is my hometown theme park, and I agree for the most part. My favorite coaster is the Goldrusher, it's not too thrilling but still really fun!
Afterburn is definitely my favorite steel coaster there
The Fury honestly is the best ride ever. My dad owns a fence business and they did all the fencing around the Fury and the newest ride I cant remember the name of it. My dad and the guys that work for him were actually on the second run of the fury that had people on it.
Copperhead strike for the newest ride
I was at the Carowinds last Friday and I don’t like roller coasters at all. They just scare me to death. I managed to get on 1 ride while I was there. I rode the Carolina Goldrusher. I will say it is probably one of my favorite ones I’ve ridden. I know it isn’t much more than a kiddy coaster but I kinda liked it. I was a little scared but it wasn’t that bad and I might ride it again if I ever go back. They definitely weren’t getting me on the Fury or anything though.
The gold rusher has always been a bit of a hidden gem.
@@AveragePicker yeah. It seems to be. It's kinda both more intense than I thought and kinda not. It's about as much as I can handle. The Carolina Goldrusher to me is kinda like the Fury to others. Then the Fury to me is I'm scared for my life. I didn't ride it but I know that's how I'd be.
Let’s goooo! My hometown amusement park!
Bruuuhh the best place in Atlanta. I went there in 2019 and the roller coaster that went upside down I screamed for my mother😂😂😂. I went an the kiddy's hawk alot of times. I wanna go again some time
This is my home park. I live 10 minutes away. But where would you place Copperhead strike now that it’s open?
Our band class went there last year and the whole class ride the Fury and it was fun and rode all the other rides. I loved the Afterburn, Intiminator and Fury.
The cyclone is the roughest coaster I’ve ever rode
i agree
I've ridden Nighthawk last year in the FBC, and it was terrible. Maybe you went on a good day but it was so rough I needed to ride Windseeker right after each time to relax my head
Snorted a tiny bit when you got to number 3 and I realized the non-vortex B&Ms were the only ones remaining. Predictable list? Sure, but those opinions are predictable for a reason. All 3 are great coasters.
Woodstock Express was made just 2 years before Carowind’s even opened! Edit: even goldrusher was made when carowind’s open just a few months later lmao
Is the afterburn scary? Someone PLEASE TELL ME me and my brother are gonna ride it next time
Not really, I’ve been riding it for 10 years and it is probably my favorite at the park
RIP Thunder Road
I just went to carowinds Today! And just to be clear, the Afterburn was HELL. It was my first time on it though. The first drop was painful. And the coaster kept pulling my head down and couldn't get it in its right position. The Nighthawk and Cobra were nice. I was going to ride the rest of rides but it started to rain😥. When I go back again atleast ill be prepaired for the Afterburn😁.
We think this vid is supper accurate!! I love how you put vortex at 13 it should have been 99. Totally right about the hang time in intimidator and a night time front row ride in the fury 325 is literally the best!!!! ❤️😀😜
This list is out of order, more in specific the top three. It is supposed to go:
3. Fury 325
2. Intimidator
1. Afterburn
Not Afterburn, then Intimidator, then Fury.
Hurler at Number 4 is the perfect spot for it. I enjoyed it a lot more than I should have, being a somewhat rickety wooden coaster, and it not being the smoothest one, but I think Hurler really deserves the spot.
Carolina Cyclone, however, should be higher on the list, as I don't think it is as bad as you say it is. I thought is was rather fun, with loops, corkscrews, and semi-intense helix at the end. I think it deserves a second chance.
Vortex makes your feet hurt and vibrate
yeah after the helix your feet hurt so bad
I went to Carowinds in the 1970s and 80s, and the Goldrusher was the only coaster I really liked. Thunder Road was so bumpy I was afraid the track might collapse under me. Goldrusher was a lot smoother.
I didn't even attempt White Lightning. I looked at it and said "Nope!" ;-D
And of all of them, Goldrusher is the one which is still there, after all these years. Cool.
1:02 Lucy's Crabbie Cabbie looks like an RMC kiddie coaster 🤣🤣🤣
I've been there for 6 years, stopped going, and I'm returning this year! I'm so excited
Edit: every time I go I ride the Woodstock Express and one year my dad's hat flew off xD also when riding the Intermediater I couldn't even sit back! Everyone thought I fell asleep...
This is my home park and I think its greatly underrated. But you know what? I'm okay with that because I have never been to another park with wait times as short as Carowinds. You can get more rides in here than anywhere else.
Hurler: "A Nice, Painless experience."
Yeah I cried when I rode that and I'm 14.. then again not everyone is going to love coasters, I try to enjoy them it's just I'm not comfortable with going that fast, it makes me feel unsafe. I'm hoping to get rid of that fear when I go this summer, hopefully I'll be able to ride the Copperhead Strike. I also made my dad a promise that I'd go on the Afterburn with him and I don't intend on backing out. WISH ME LUCK AND HOPE I DON'T HAVE A HEART ATTACK QvQ
The vortex was the most painful thing ever, it made me pull so many leg muscles

I'm from North Carolina, and I have rode almost all of them except the ones for 55 inch people but now I'm tall enough to do the fury
Honestly, the Hurler does feel a lot better than it used to but the headaches are killer if you aren't expecting it. I'm glad they made the effort to maintain it. Personally, I always preferred Thunder Road and I am still sad that it's gone.
Thunder Road was awesome.
But i do remember while working at the water park section watching boards fall off of it on occasion. First time I saw one fall I called my manager and asked if we needed to report it and I got a, “I don’t know.”
I road Fury 325 at night and that was the first time I lost my voice riding a roller coaster.
Afterburn (Which will always be called Top Gun in my heart) was better when it had a tunnel. It used to go underground briefly, not sure when they changed it, probably after the Cedar Fair buy out. But that was my very first steal coaster ever and it holds a special place in my heart. And the kid's wooden coaster (which I still call the Scooby Doo coaster, I grew up at Carowinds, I can't help it) was my first wooden coaster. Lots of nostalgia here.
It still has a tunnel lol
i dont know why a wild mouse would be literally 47 MILES PER HOUR
and as fast as the vekoma boomerang
Copperhead strike is Carowinds best investment yet!! i rode that thing it is as smooth as a baby's bottom.
I can't believe goldrush, cyclone, and Scooby Doo (woodstock express) are still there.
From time to time I do wonder if white lighting is still breaking down at least once a day in where ever it went off to.
I rode hurler when it first opened and asked another employee if they were still trying to pound the nails into it. It was pretty rough. I don't remember the seats having cushions.
Woodstock express was my first coaster (even though I rode the kings island one) and I really need to go back to kings island now that I’m a enthusiast
Copperhead Strike is amazing
