I've experienced "One more time!" chants working at Great America (Gurnee) too, and yes, Carowinds. Fury crew was great when we were there too. The 2nd day of our trip there I got 4 end-of-night rides in a row, the last 3 without getting off (in the dark!). It was beautiful, and sealed it for Fury being my #1.

Your comments on Nighthawk: The typical home park experience with this ride

[@inlinechris]

Just visited this park and rode fury (post crack) and the crew is still amazing! 3 train ops and they were sending every train before the next ome even hit the brake run. Amazing ride and crew.

[@kaileyallen4365]

Carowinds is the closest park to me making it my home park, and I still am fairly impressed with how they handled the crack incident. They were very professional and open about it, and never once tried to sugarcoat or hide anything from anyone. I have full faith that they have really studied the ins and outs of why this happened and fixed it so it wouldn't happen again

[@jake4028]

In July my flight got messed up so I ended up going to Carowinds instead of sfgadv and it was so great. Fury is my #1 for sure

We did a lot of distant parks this season, when I was planning July, it was a toss up between Great Adventure and Carowinds.

I can’t blame you! Fury is the only flawless coaster I’ve ever been on. It’s not necessarily the best, but there is literally nothing wrong with it. Even Steel Vengeance has at least one flaw, Fury just has no issues.

[@ch6inre6ction11]

Afterburn is severely underrated...and yes the 2 rear end seats are a must to feel the full whip of afterburn. It's my #2 in the park. Nighthawk was a disappointment. Felt like the train was too big for the track. Alot of shuffling going on. Also Carowinds has a bit of a dilemma with Nighthawk. On 1 hand it's old and only on borrowed time with Firehawks spare parts. On the other it is a visually beautiful and unique roller coaster that is a GP magnet. The way it interacts with the parkways and guests. What ever ends up replacing Nighthawk should do the same. I'm thinking dive coaster since it's in the middle of the park and they can even get rid of Vortex to make enough space

[@ArchJ17]

There’s a dive coaster nighthawk replacement concept by ML Designs on KZbin that honestly would be perfect for the park IMO

[@Gabes1321]

I think a Gerstlauer infinity would be perfect

[@thomastucker9272]

I worked nighthawk early part of this season it’s closed a lot and a lot of the time it’s open one of the trains is being worked on by maintenance so it’s one train on an already slow dispatching ride.. just a total disaster would not be surprised to see it gone in the next 3-5 years

[@ArchJ17]

@@thomastucker9272 me and my friend went to carowinds and had to wait two hours in the line cause after the train before us the ride went into maintenance. Love waiting 2 hours for the second worst thrill ride at the park.

I may be single stressed and socially isolated but at least I went and rode Fury. They also let me go around twice at night. I really wasn’t expecting as much as I did I was dying to ride this since 2015 but then SV and Orion were built and I went skydiving. Fury was so good it almost revivals skydiving.

[@nodabble]

Definitely one of the most beautiful roller coasters ever! the daily uploads are keeping me entertained 😀 Keep up the great videos Taylor!✌️👍

[@LaunchedReality]

At Thorpe Park on their rides they have a one more time sound track. They play it each night on some rides for last cycle and can do 2-4 ride cycles for those guests. Also on off peak days it will play at random times through out the day. Queue closes are 5 mins after park close now as well to ensure everyone has enough time to get into the queue for their last attractions.

[@adambuckler1398]

Oh yeah!! The Fury crew is INCREDIBLE!! I’d get to the park 15 minutes before close just to get LROTN on Fury. I always got 2+ rides. My best was 4 (all in the front too 😁). Those are the little things that add so much to the expierence, it’s part of the reason I love Carowinds so much!!

[@alexbrown2696]

I 100% AGREE with your rant about Carowinds not having transferrable lockers. Fury and Copperhead may be the only coasters in the park to require lockers but it would make a lot more sense to have the transferrable option that KD and Cedar Point have. Heck, even Great Adventure has transferrable lockers and for good reason because none of their coasters have bins on the platforms. I also do not like that Carowinds charges $2 for one hour per locker unlike the other Cedar Fair parks that charge $2 for two hours or Six Flags with $1 for two hours. The only other CF park that I've been to that doesn't have transferrable lockers is Kings Island which now has 4 coasters with lockers but it's possible they added that option since I last visited in 2018.

12:07 as someone who worked at raptor at cedar point, depending on how many people were in the park that day, sometimes we would let the guests on each train get an extra ride at the end of the night. I love when that happens, as the guests are always so hyped in the station when they find out they're getting an extra ride

[@joecarroll8724]

Every park needs to follow Universal's locker policy - free short term small lockers near the most extreme rides, and bigger paid lockers everywhere else. However, I've just adapted and don't bring anything that won't fit in a zippered cargo pocket or a fanny pack to any park anymore.

[@jackportenier2441]

The joke about leaving Carowinds without riding Fury hit me hard because I didn’t get to ride Fury when I when to Scarowinds (even though that was the only reason I was going to Carowinds) because the line was 4 1/2 hour line the whole night. I only got to ride Copperhead Strike

[@silas4720]

God I love this ride

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

Afterburn without a 2-hour line? You're so lucky! It's been on 1-train and very slow ops on my visits. Also, Nighthawk has ridden awesome on my visits, so you should give it another try. I like it more than Afterburn. I try to get both done in the first hour before those lines get huge. Fury still has a short line afterwards.

[@gametime2473]

Yeah, I have had a ton of great rides on Nighthawk. It is the first ride I hit in the morning. I can get 4 or 5 rides on it with no line before the line gets super long later in the day. If the ride is so bad, there wouldn't be long lines to ride it even with the lowish ride capacity.

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

@@gametime2473 I guess I've had bad luck with crowds there. I line up for Nighthawk 15 minutes before opening, which was necessary. The line is huge by opening time. By the time I get off the ride, its already a 2-hour line. But you're right. It's got to be good if that many people are willing to wait that long for it. That's on weekdays. My weekend days had shorter lines everywhere.

[@ZoniesCoasters]

My guess on why they sent y'all "One more time!" Was because it didn't change how soon they got to go home since the crew is stuck there until scarowinds ends. Try that once scarowinds is over and they sure as heck probably wouldn't send you again cause they just want to go home.

I think they will eventually. Remember they have added Intimidator, Fury and Copperhead Strike all in the period of 10 years or so. That is a lot. RMC Hurler would really take a mediocre ride and make it top notch for not that much money. It's a no brainer.
