That was a cool evening, even tough I only rode one thing. After we said goodbye to you guys we watched an e-stop in the second launch area. It was cool to see the train getting back to speed for the second half of the ride.
You have to take into account the crowd that certain park brings. Cedar Point is fairly popular tourist park while Carowinds is more like a locals park. Watch how Disneyland handles their crowds on a new ride and it pales in comparison to these parks.
When it opened it was all about the hang time and airtime but now with Carowinds giving copperhead a new stronger launch I can say it’s now also about the launch!
Looks like a cool coaster. Glad you like our Icon!! I don't expect much from the launches for me it's all about the hang time and airtime!! Launches are a means to an end.
Carowinds is my home park, and I can’t wait to ride this!! Cedar Point used to be my home park, and Steel Vengeance is definitely the best roller coaster I’ve ever ridden! But I’m sure Copperhead Strike will be super fun, and it’s definitely a great fit, I think most coaster enthusiasts think so too. Great Video!
I'm riding Blue Fire as my first MACK Rides Launch Coaster this summer. I know it might be the least impressive of the thrill ones, but I'm still pretty excited
It's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Sure, the launch isn't impressive, but the rest of the ride is pretty solid. I personally enjoyed the coaster and say it's something worth riding a few times for coaster enthusiasts.
@@nugget_music I very much expect to like it. I'm not as negative as some can be. I even have family coasters in my Top 10, just from how much fun I had on them
Raeven Winn I’ve always wanted to go to CP. how long are the wait times during summer weekdays for the most popular rides? (Raptor, gatekeeper, MF, maverick, steel vengeance)
@@drewgeyerr On weekdays the lines aren't bad. For rides like Steel Vengeance and Maverick there's still a decent wait but both rides are worth the wait in my opinion.
Toastbuster I saw him too! I saw him holding the camera and then I was thinking who is that I recognize and by time he made it down the steps I had only just realized it was coaster studios and I was like aghhhh darn
Carowinds is my home park and I think this is just what the park needed! So glad that you enjoyed it, I'm likely going to ride this weekend and am super excited
Only got a single ride in on Saturday, but it was a great ride, and is a welcome addition to Carowinds. The hang time is definitely it’s calling card. Fury is still king of the park, but I’ll need a few more rides to figure out where it is in the park’s order. Once the park is open during the week In the summer, I’m going to marathon this thing!
Jeez, everyone is really super excited they get really aggressive when a new coaster opens, that coaster looks really awesome and well themed, glad you got to ride it and hope to hear a review of this soon.
I’m going here in June. Super excited, I went there two years ago and can’t forget the 10 minute waits for Fury front row. I highly doubt i would ride 10 times a day ever again.
Thanks for this video, I've been looking forward to your reaction. I'll be riding it April 13th, we bought Fast Lane passes so hopefully we'll only have to wait 10 hours instead of 20. Hope to see a review video for it soon!
Hey, I was at the opening of copperhead Strike on Friday while you were there and I'm not sure if you could hear but my friend REALLY likes your videos so I said "he loves you" and you said, "hi whoever that is." I'm sure you don't remember but I just wanted to let you know I did! I love your videos, and it was a great ride!
Sometimes you need a good six or seven security guards to enforce that Southern hospitality. XD Look forward to the cinematics if you got some, it's also a very photogenic coaster at sunset. Loved this coaster and was there this night, didn't even know this crowd control was happening lol, I went to Fury first because I had fastlane anyways.
Why don't parks make a temporary extension queue at openings of new roller coasters? You could close the normal queue until opening time and remove (parts of) the queue when the crowds have left.
i’m so excited to go when it opens again, i’m rly bummed that it’s closed cause i have the season pass and have been dying to go but hopefully they stick to their plan and open in a few weeks.
Taylor!!! I need a bit of help here! Booking a Cedar Point trip today. But i only have time for one more park nearby. Kings Island or Kennywood?? taking everything into consideration (top coasters, prices, atmosphere) is mystic timbers better than Phantoms R?
How many trains was it running/is it capable of running? I dont get why so few parks copy the loading/unloading area of Blue-Fire - especially when building a new Mack -that can almost double the throughput.
Because if the guests spend more time in lines they will have less time to experience what they want which likely means they will either buy fast passes or come back for another day, and any of these options mean that money is going into the park... So basically a less likeable customer experience for the sake of corporate greed. Quite sad really.
Zachary Mehrtens it was very chaotic once you got to the entrance. People push and shove their way to the front. We got stuck behind people. It sucks, but it happens.
Coaster Studios I’ve been listening to off-rides and it sounds like they didn’t. I’m kinda surprised, this might be one of the most heavily themed coasters CF has built and one would think there’s music to go with all that scenery. I mean, even Electric Eel has good queue music and that one doesn’t have much scenery except for some weird rocks. I wish CF would collab with IMAscore again. I love the Mystic Timbers soundtrack.
Thats to be expected of a new coaster with staff not yet experienced. Given some time to sort out last few problems Mack rides are easily among the most reliable machines out there. It might just be better trained staff at German parks but other than the SLC in Heide Park being down due to its annual technical inspection i have not once had a coaster break down while i was at a park here in Germany.
As a European the amount of security here from the entrance Metal detectors to the Crowd control security guards creeps me out. Like it feels unnatural y'know. Also the big gate in front of the fireplace like why is it there, are they just too afraid to get sued by bad parents? Again this is probably standard for the US but still it's quite unsettling to me. Also Copperhead strike looks good. Looks like it Could definitely keep up as a main attraction if it was at a small or medium sized park. (Again European terms so when I say mid size I mean around 3-6 coaster parks like Tripsdrill or Drayton Manor size.)
That was a cool evening, even tough I only rode one thing. After we said goodbye to you guys we watched an e-stop in the second launch area. It was cool to see the train getting back to speed for the second half of the ride.
Cedar Point should've handled the crowds for Steel Vengeance opening like how Carowinds did for Copperhead Strike!
They probably learned from SV
Cedar Point embraces the "running of the bulls" hopefully in that doesn't change but someone will sue
You have to take into account the crowd that certain park brings. Cedar Point is fairly popular tourist park while Carowinds is more like a locals park. Watch how Disneyland handles their crowds on a new ride and it pales in comparison to these parks.
Nathaniel Thomas I love that! It feels so good running to a coaster!
Me: copperhead strike is cool
Inner me: *COASTER PARODY*
So I guess you could say that this ride is quite *ICONIC?*

Gladiator Dragon well actually according to Taylor, it's IconISH at 6:04
Love the joke... And the pause

When did it get a stronger launch
March 2022
@@DanielTR-d6q oh cool! I haven’t been back this year so haven’t experienced it then! Can’t wait to try it loved it before

My home park too
Keep in mind that ricochet Is also a Mack coaster:(
the security really weren't playing around and they did a great job.
Lol yup
Six Flags Over Texas needs a Mack coaster, we need a new original coaster. But the park also needs more family rides.
Magic Mountain needs family attractions BADLY!
@@HudsonDiTomaso But other six flags parks exist... they need something good too
They don’t have Magic Mountain’s problem!
No we always get family rides we need a roller coaster that is original
You got your mack coaster

This ride was so much fun I was very shocked by how cool it was, glad I got front row at night too now THAT was an amazing experience
Coaster Frenzy I’m not sure what to think of other coasters anymore after I’ve already ridden the two greatest ones ever built, SV and LRod.
Looks like a good ride. I'm jealous. I wish the off season would end in Ohio.

I saw him at KD last year in October, but I’ve got bad social anxiety and didn’t say hi lmao.
0:10 I used to park at that Cabelas when I didn't have a season pass and didn't want to pay for parking haha.
This ride is looks great we need more of these in the US
I enjoyed that. Nice hearing your reactions and points of comparison.

Copperhead Strike parody idea:
Ride it now after waiting in a 3 hour line or watch it break down 4 times a day only at carowinds
Carowinds is my home park and I think this is just what the park needed! So glad that you enjoyed it, I'm likely going to ride this weekend and am super excited

It is!
Jeez, everyone is really super excited they get really aggressive when a new coaster opens, that coaster looks really awesome and well themed, glad you got to ride it and hope to hear a review of this soon.
I got 2 day rides and one night ride. Very fun coaster!
So glad to see some love for my home park! Glad you enjoyed yourself!
Holy crowd control...reminds me of the way they herded everyone in for Railblazer passholder day. Hangtime passholder day was a mad sprint.
Haha I was the first gp to ride twisted timbers in 2019. Wish I got to see you
It was great seeing you guys!! It was awesome walking all the way there with yall!
"Calm down it's just a Mack"
Sooooo true 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's hard watching Chad after that whole incident, but overall great video Taylor.
Yea that’s what I was thinking but what actually happened all I know is he got “cancelled” but that’s it
I’ve never been to a cedar fair or six flags park but I watch you to know what it’s like I want to go so bad great vid Taylor!
It was one of my favourite rides!
Got vintage Coaster Studios vibes with the parking lot and wind combo 😂😂 JK Great video Taylor!
Ahhh ikr lol
are you planning on a trip to CW for yukon striker?
I am
ramon x At the moment, yes, but we will see what happens. Plans change. I hope to make it up there at some point.
Did you enjoy copahead strike Taylor
How was the launched airtime
Its not the best. There’s barely airtime but the hangtime is absolutely insane
3:45 "HOPE YOU ENJOY IT TAYLOR!"
Thanks for this video, I've been looking forward to your reaction. I'll be riding it April 13th, we bought Fast Lane passes so hopefully we'll only have to wait 10 hours instead of 20. Hope to see a review video for it soon!
I actually really enjoyed blue fire so I can’t wait for this!
Since of this being a Mack rides coasters I think CP 2020 could be a Mack rides hyper coaster
Great video! Can't wait to ride it!
My top hyped coaster
Are you going to do a review of copperhead strike?
I can’t wait to ride it in 11 days the hang time look amazing
I was so exited! I was the guy in white on the first train you showed with people on it!
Did you ride on the first row. I’m going on it soon and wondering if I should ride on the middle? It’s gonna be my first real roller coaster
Man, I love roller coasters! They are fun !!!WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!🤣👍❤

Kings island did for mystic timbers
Carowinds did have a temporary extended queue for Copperhead.
hey i went too! how long was your wait, lol 😂 mine was 3 HOURS. Only ride we rode.
HOLY COW! I SAW ME AND MY DAD IN THE OVERFLOW QUEUE AT 4:34
Same exact time at KD most rides went Down due to matnince issues I’m middle of day at the same time
Great to see you taylor
i’m so excited to go when it opens again, i’m rly bummed that it’s closed cause i have the season pass and have been dying to go but hopefully they stick to their plan and open in a few weeks.
Well this didn’t age well
Oml I can’t beleive it took this long, I actually went on Saturday and had so much fun. So glad it is finally open
Thoughts on the airtime launch?
Harrison Leggo fun, but nothing crazy. Floater airtime, not ejector.
Taylor!!! I need a bit of help here! Booking a Cedar Point trip today. But i only have time for one more park nearby. Kings Island or Kennywood?? taking everything into consideration (top coasters, prices, atmosphere) is mystic timbers better than Phantoms R?
If you go to Kenny go when steel curtain opens!
@@Amber-wb7qt of course. It would be on august. But i haven't decided yet
Yoooo i was that kid in the morning on the backrow waving at u. So cool to see you
Opening day not passholder night
Are you going to make it to Wisconsin dells next year to ride Hades 360?
I want to make it up there eventually but am not sure when.
are you going to do a full review?
yes
Hey Taylor it is the kid that you met at copperhead on Friday 22 of March
I’m that guy who talk to you during the queue line when you were getting footage. Great ride
Im going next week, I’m so excited
My Favorite part was the inverted top hat over the que line.
Copperhead strike or Afterburn?
Frolord Afterburn
Rip Wildbull

3 trains
It’s intensity surprised me, my legs felt like they do on a b&m invert when all the blood rushes down
How come you didn’t get the Very first dispatch?
Zachary Mehrtens it was very chaotic once you got to the entrance. People push and shove their way to the front. We got stuck behind people. It sucks, but it happens.
Well did you even see the first dispatch.
of course I did!
How long did you wait.
Today I went to Carowinds and road the fling cobra and threw up great day👌
Those Flyers were at King's Island back in the 1990s
I live in Sandusky and cedar point doesn’t open til May :(
Wil Bruni same :( really craving a ride on Steel Vengeance right now
I live near and I cant wait
Lucky! I wish I lived in Sandusky, but I live just a few minutes from Kings Island so I'm happy about that!
Is there preferred seating
They do assign you to a certain row, however you can request a row and they usually will allow it.
It looks chilly there!
I was there saturday i like Cooperhead strike better then my #2 favorite (Maverick) so my #1 is Steel Vengeance and #2 Copperhead Strike .
Eric Thomason says the one who’s first inverting coaster was desert storm a few months ago
Did this have queue music? It was a little hard for me to tell and I’ve been suspicious that it will since the promos always used the same song.
I'm not entirely sure- If they did, I honestly didn't notice.

I saw u standing at harmony hall and yea I waited 2 hours to ride copperhead strike because the car got suck before the second launch
Looks like a cool ride
What day was this?
this past Friday
Thanks
Hopefully they bring back thunderoad it was stupid removing it for a water park expansion
They can't bring it back cause it took up part of the land occupied now by Copperhead Strike
@@CoasterStudios could they bring it back if they remove night hawk I know it wouldn't have the same layout
What credit number was this Taylor? Looks like a good coaster. I might be riding it myself this summer.
agentM1991 this was 602 for me!
@@CoasterStudios Awesome.

we had skip the line passes :)

When is top 25
i saw you when u were getting on the cyclone that was my friend that almost went the opposite direction i was next to him
That red carpets always there
I was at media day there! Best ride in the park~
I'm so glad I got to go there that day
*Planet coaster Intensifies*
Can't wait for the inevitable parody lol. But seriously, glad you liked it.
They really should have had an escort on cedar point opening day 2018
Man I tonight you were gonna get some on ride footage
