    Intimidator was a way better name. Thunder Striker isn't bad, but the park already has a "strike/striker" name in the park, which makes both copperhead strike and thunder striker sound unoriginal

    I was there this past weekend, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Got 5 rides on Afterburn, there’s most definitely something wrong with the red train. It was so bad! Blue train was great though!

    i think the thunder striker makes it sound less intimidating but the intimidator ,1 was representing someone we honor, 2 its just a better name in general !

    @mitchellries256 5 месяцев назад +4

    Do you know what I am going to miss the most about the rename of Intimidator to Thunder Striker? That would be the signature "Gentleman. Start Your Engines" that goes off before the train leaves. I am going to miss it even more on Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion.

    I wish they could have kept the NASCAR theme on Intimidator seeing as how NASCAR’s home base is in Charlotte.

      They could have kept the racing theming while still renaming the ride, sort of like how they kept the fight plane theme of Afterburn after renaming it.

    Glad to hear the park is staffed, polished and ready to go. One thing you can say about Carowinds is that they will repaint their coasters when needed. If I were in charge I would not put any more money into Vortex.

    Just stumbled across Carowinds....we have Six Flags here in Atlanta. Given the recent shooting on opening day, umm no thanks. Is it worth the 4 hour drive and what day is good to go during Spring break? Any hotels youd recommend nearby?

    • @TravelGuidesUS
      @TravelGuidesUS  5 месяцев назад

      Yes it’s so worth it! I’d try going on a Wednesday or Thursday of spring break. As for the hotels, it’s all based on your budget. There’s a lot of nasty ones nearby… but the two that I recommend would be - maps.app.goo.gl/hNPpWEtFKBKttCQ57?g_st=ic

    I may like kings dominion more from home park bias, and cedar point may be a better park overall, but there’s a special place in my heart for carowinds. It’s just a beautiful mix of charm and genuine quality.

      @@TravelGuidesUS That’s great to hear. I have 2 questions for you. First, did Thunder Striker change its trains or are they still they car type trains? Secondly, is there a place to put your phones & wallets at the ride locations like Fury 325? Or should we get a locker?

    I'm making my first trip ever to Carowinds this year and was wondering the best time to go for crowds.
    Of course I'll be avoiding weekends this summer but how about weekends in the spring? Or possibly weekdays in June? Otherwise I may wait 'till fall before their Halloween event.

    Leave it to Teresea Earnhardt to mess up more that was associated with the late great Intmidator. The minute she gets her nose out of anything to do with the Earnhardt name it will be better for everyone. RIP Intimidator!!

    Why not use “Thunder Road”? How about “Speed Trials”, or “Carolina Thunder”?

    @user-jp9uz1xk4t 5 месяцев назад +2

    I don't like the new name. Thunder does not strike, and it is a little redundant with Copperhead Strike. I think they could have kept with a Nascar themed name.

  • @RMCHurler
    @RMCHurler 5 месяцев назад +1

    Im highly doubtful that anything is changing with the theatre and snoopys junction especially since it said "temporarily closed". The theatre needs a renovation to become a decent venue for shows. The train is also pathetically themed and needs love to fit in with camp snoopy. My bet is watch for those to be better themed and renovated and a new coaster behind the playground and woodstock express in the dinos plot to be added as an expansion with maybe a new ride or some meet and greet space like at knotts.
