I think the launch room in Copperhead Strike is indicative of a moonshine still, usually made of copper, and the ride is the journey of a ridge-runner hauling illegal whiskey.

[@1001100x02]

I saw a back row of Intimidator, and it certainly looks more intimidating! When you can feel a coaster while watching it on KZbin, you know it’s a good one. Great job on the compilation!

[@KJ-he4qk]

Great job! I’m from NC and have been there a ton. Your list was great and very informative

One time me and my cousins were at Carowinds and we were in line for kiddy hawk. We had been in line for about 45-60 minutes (somehow) and as soon as we sat down, the speaker came on and said the ride closed.

1. Fury (cause of the big drop) 2. Intimidator (cause of the drop) 3. Night hawk (cause of the water) 4. Drop tower (cause of the drop) 5. Hurler (its just fun) 6. Coper head strike ( when you go upside down) 7. Goldrush (cause of the tunnel) 8. Afterburn (beacause of the cave) 9. The swings (beacsue of the view) 10. Kitty hawk (its boring) Since you read all that here's a treat! 🍪🥛 but it costs a like! And for tge ppl who need it Wilderness run: 0:44 Kitty hawk: 1:47 Woodstock express: 3:23 Im done!!

I understand why everyone is so hard on Nighthawk. But I just can’t help but feel sympathetic towards it because it and Batwing at Six Flags America are the only two Flying Dutchmen left in America, maybe in the entire world.

I love fangirling over rollercoasters, and I love the effort you put in! Rock on!

[@2_.tocute]

going this weekend! Trying to see which one is best for me. Best review thanks!

[@theannoyingdahg]

The general theme of Copperhead Strike is, I think, you're trying to discover Granny Byrd's secret formula to success, but she catches you and the whole ride is a frantic getaway drive. I also heard somewhere that it's also "Granny's not the threat, it's the copperheads on her property", which makes sense but I don't understand why snakes would be a threat while in a car. IMO it requires a teeny bit of suspension of disbelief, but like. The ride is worth the confusion. I hate drops, and I can barely handle the drop into the ride lol, but it's worth it. This is the ride that saved me from passing out of heat exhaustion, so it has that going for it too.

I would flip 2 and 3, but other than that I agree. Those harnesses with the 2 red buckles are called "modified". They accommodate for larger riders. B&M did everyone a solid by including those. They are on all the inverts, dive, and floorless like Afterburn, Griffon and Hulk.

The Ride Copperhead Strike was themed after the old song Copperhead Row it is a little before your time, it mainly is a song about Moonshine and running from the law that what the ride is themed after as you look at the tunnel it is a moonshine set up . You sound to young to drink, if you ever watch the show Moonshiners it will explain a lot .

The copperhead strike theme is moonshine running.

[@iamBriii]

I like Vortex, Flying Cobras, Copperhead Strike, Hurler, and Goldrush. Haven’t tried: 1. Fury (it’s too fast, and I’m scared of heights when it comes to coasters) 2. Intimidator (Big Drops 😭) 3. Afterburn (i was just scared to ride, idk why) 4. Nighthawk (line was too long all 4 times I went) 5. Ricochet (haven’t thought to ride it) People tell me that I should be able to ride Afterburn if I’ve rode Copperhead Strike. The only reason why I got on was bc it was like..8 or 9 A.M and I was in the park half-awake with my friend and she made it seem like it wasn’t as bad as it was 😂 and I was tired so I didn’t even think to look at the ride first. But it’s cool, highly recommend!

[@unityjay4607]

Yo if u haven’t all ready here is some advice when I was like 12 I was able to ride fury and basically was forced to bc like u I was scared shitless but once u ride it u literally want to ride every coaster in the world it like boost your confidence so much and it makes u want to ride it again and again. So just saying u should ride it and once it’s over u will never remember that u were once scared of coasters like that lol XD

Copperhead Strike (multi launch and upside down) 5. Afterburn (because of the layout and the cave) 6. Drop Zone/Tower (the drop and view) 7. Windseeker (to see what rides have long lines and short lines) 8. Hurler (the only Woodie and its just fun) 9. Copperhead (there are so many out there) 10. Woodstock Express (I still love it!) 11. Wilderness Run (short) 12. Kiddy Hawk (its just painful)
