So How Fast Are Carowinds' Operations?

[@drdewott9154]

Dude that Fury dispatch was Gud!

[@TylerPCoyne]

It was good as gold! Baby!

[@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239]

TylerPCoyne just like the ride itself. However, Steel Vengeance (RMC Mean Streak) will destroy it!

[@clax5612]

TylerPCoyne So far they’re neck and neck.

[@mintypotato7817]

I go to carowinds about every month since i live 2.5 hours away and the dispatches are always super fast! except once when someone was holding their backpack in their lap and they refused to get off and put it in the bin thing xD

[@zz6-z]

Probably the best dispatch ever.

[@tdotson95]

I've worked at Carowinds during the summer, they tell us to go as fast and safely as we can with dispatching, usually we want to go really fast but the guest sometimes are completely clueless when they leave their brains at the door and go incredibly slow

[@mintypotato7817]

I love Carowinds :)

[@PS5Akatsuki]

love Carowinds. Thanks for all that you do, theme parks are a magical place where adults and children can get away from BS for a little bit. Plus i've never feared for my safety at Carowinds, been going there for over twenty years now. Definitely can't say the same for state fairs.

[@quinnkids177]

Carowinds is good

[@TheCrazyPop]

I know people hate the lockers, but it does seem to help with dispatch times. Great Video

[@medmac2112]

These videos are incredible!

[@EmmaGranger99]

When I went, Hurler took a ridiculously long time to dispatch. Didn't help that they were only running one train. Carolina Goldrusher also took an insane amount of time.

[@dyedshirt3206]

the thing to keep in mind here is that most guests could care less how long they're taking because guess what? no matter what, the ride ops have to wait for them. a lot of these dispatch times could be far slower.

[@shanemartin3961]

The Nite Hawk at Carowinds seems to be the slowest, because usually there's only 1 train operational.

[@jcspotter7322]

I've had 5 minute dispatch times on nighthawk and closer to 30 seconds on fury 325, their dispatchers are sometimes hit or miss

[@mintypotato7817]

[@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102]

[@mintypotato7817]

yes and a counter of how many dispatches are done in 10 hours!

[@bobbery2]

Minty Potato they do about 20 per hour (at least while I was there) so about 200

[@davidpiepmeyer1689]

I saw that at least 1 full row was empty. So all they have to is push the lap bar down all the way. Still great ops

[@timhulsen7385]

[@Batfastard14]

0:53 that GP air traffic controller pisses me off so much, it’s “cleared FOR takeoff,” not “TO”

[@CoasterStudios]

wow I didn't know that why didn't you tell me that earlier I've never heard that before

[@Ohiocolts]

But you can’t just say “cleared for takeoff” because that would result in another major crash because not every air traffic system has gotten permission from base and warning of the incoming takeoff yada yada yada you know

[@thecameraguy_65]

Batfastard14 When I was standing in line for afterburn I thought the same thing. It made so mad especially when he said it two times.

[@steamfend333]

Does it matter? Its a coaster.

[@BlaqMambaX]

Funny someone mentioned that. When I worked there and it was still called Top Gun, he did say "for" instead of "to". I think it changed after Cedar Fair came in.

[@reportaccount474]

the flying cobras dispatch seemed to be because of riders, so that's an iffy verdict

[@donnybwisor]

I've ridden it probably 20ish times and it always that slow.

[@David-gj9qr]

Report Account all of these dispatch videos are because of operations which includes ride ops, dispatch, and riders. You can’t say a verdict seemed to be iffy because of riders, because riders always have an influence and that’s the point the video is trying to get across.

[@brianmacdonald7297]

I agree. When I was there over the summer, the dispatches on Fury and Intimidator were both crazy fast. I wondered of the ops crews were having a friendly competition to see who was faster.

[@jellybrown]

Have they ever dispatched Fury at 25 seconds? I just hope they never ever dispatch it at 3 minutes and 25 seconds, or 325 seconds.

[@mintypotato7817]

haha, once for me they dispatched at 25 seconds, the record time when ive been there is 20 seconds.

That was a very slow time for Afterburn and they usually dispatch a bit quicker. Nighthawk, well, for Nighthawk that's about as good as it gets. Fury325 crew is on point, as they usually are! 👍

[@judahemory9877]

Fury was almost unbelievable like WOW!!😃 I love my home park in the carolinas.

I wish Six Flags would take a look at Cedar Fair operations. I must say Carowinds, Kings Island, and Cedar Point all are usually really fast!

[@jtbackup4553]

Really? Went to SFGAM last month and their dispatches were pretty fast!

[@David-gj9qr]

Daniel Worley this video shows that most rides at Carowinds don’t have fast dispatches

[@ThunderDashHub]

For being my home park...Carowinds does great on their premiere rides like Fury and Intimidator, but they need work on Flying Cobras and Nighthawk...especially Nighthawk...

[@mintypotato7817]

i was in the line for the nighthawk right in the morning when it opened and i still had to wait an hour to get on, and it took a while to get everyone in the seats, lay the seats down, and all of that stuff. i have to say it is a very good ride though. :)

[@ayguacamole246]

Coastervania Reviews where?

[@Padsquad2010]

When I went in August, Fury, Intimidator, and Afterburn had very quick dispatches. Fury's was almost scary how quickly they dispatched it. Vortex, Carolina Cyclone, and Carolina Goldrusher were not particularly great dispatches, but decent. Hurler, Ricochet And Nighthawk were in the middle of the pack. Woodstock Express, Flying Cobras, and Flying Ace Aerial Chase had very slow operations.

[@mintypotato7817]

Agree

[@FreeDarth]

Nighthawk is extremely slow I get fast passes on my season pass and every time I go, I usually sit in line for Nighthawk for 30+ minutes

[@donnybwisor]

Flying Ace (It's Kitty Hawk or something else now) is painfully slow. If it isn't "walk on" status, we won't wait in line for it.

[@soulsealsaul5553]

These videos are awesome! Its always amusing to see how fast the operations are. Of course, safery is the main priority, so i can understand some operations can be slow, but its always funny to see it take like 10 minutes to get everyone secured.

this is why I love my home park because they dispatch really fast. I went last week on saturday and fury had stopped the ride for like 4 minutes and we still got on very very quickly. Props to the workers/operators at fury :)

[@JRNY07]

Carowinds has some of the WORST clearing times. I worked at Cedar Point and they were quite strict in getting trains in and out quickly - referred to as "hitting interval". Well, Carowinds could really pick up the pace! Especially on Afterburn - this video they just so happen to be up to speed that time but Ive been there many times when they weren't........ And a lot of it isn't the crew being slow: a lot of times it's guests not paying attention, or too fat to fit in the harness (hello! there's a test seat out front for a reason!) or a stupid kid gets scared and wants let off. Ugh. The public can be just downright awful to work around.

[@JordanScottMusic]

Jr Graff I agree. I worked at Fury for the past two years and we’ve had bad days where operations were slow due to constant so many guest delays in the station. I’m glad he didn’t catch us on a bad day haha (;

[@NickyD]

people are too lazy for the test seat and fury that train looked half empty bet it takes long then 36 seconds

[@JordanScottMusic]

Nicky D It can if there are guest delays. But if everything goes as it’s supposed to, than 38 seconds is definitely possible. As operators, we never know when we may encounter issues on the ride platform so sometimes it will take more than 38 seconds sometimes it will take less. You also have to take into consideration how many people are up checking seats on the platform.The more people, the less seats each person has to check, and the faster the train can dispatch.

[@themeparkcentral3059]

When I went to this park last year their dispatches were amazing!

[@revofreak1993]

I honestly think you guys are very soft reviewing those operations. Like any B&M coaster (except flying & stand up) should be dispatched at LEAST in 40 seconds ... I’m from Belgium and my home park (Walibi Belgium) dispatches a woodie, a Vekoma Boomerang & SLC and more in like max 40-50 seconds ...

I went to scarowinds for my birthday in 2021 with my parents, my best friend, and her parents. We got the last ride on Fury, right before the park closed for scarowinds at 5:00. We walked in the queue and we were going up that hill in less than 30 seconds. That was the best experience I’ve ever had on a coaster.

[@mittenskittyfilms9144]

Yes, carowinds does have good operations. Although goldrusher used to have good operations when I rode it a couple of years ago. And now it’s just bad, I would say the goldrusher could use improvement. And some other roller coasters in that area.

[@dylanm4436]

I went a few days ago, it had the worst operations I have ever seen... Fury had a 3 minute dispatch time, Carolina Goldrusher and Flying Cobras had 4 minute dispatches. The only acceptable one was Copperhead Strike which had around 1 minute dispatch times. I'm gonna stick to Busch Gardens lol

[@abbabeththehamster4320]

My dad and I nicknamed Carolina Goldrusher "The Bee Coaster" because one time when we were riding, we sat at the brake run afterwards for a little bit and it was enough to get a small swarm of carpenter bees flying around. They were about 7-10 feet away and weren't dangerously close to the train, but a group of girls in the rows behind us started flailing and squealing just like Nicholas Cage. It was hilarious! We were stuck next to the bees for about five minutes waiting for the train in the station to dispatch, but we (Dad and I, obviously not the girls!) had this for entertainment while we were waiting! Oops; I think I just told you the dispatch time, didn't I? ;-) This video's verdict on Goldrusher pretty much sums it up.
