Re: Copperhead Strike to debut at Carowinds in 2019.

... last year and this year. I find this hard to believe. That thing is hauling all the way to the brakes in normal conditions. Heck, there is even a trim on the hill before the helix. I have a hard time believing temperature would slow it that much. Can snow and ice affect braking, the restraints, ...

My wish is that Carowinds takes off the ridiculous trim on the airtime hill after Intimidator's turnaround. If they don't do that, I hope Carowinds reduces the trims like SeaWorld Orlando did to Mako.

^I disagree, Hurler was easier better than Thunder Road after GCI reworked turn 3 before Carowinds reinstalled the trim brake. I kind of disagree. Hurler was better in year 1 up to maybe year 3. After that, and even after the minimal GCI work, meh... Also if Hurler got a boost in ...

I agree with a Ghostrider treatment for Hurler with new trains. Maybe add a tunnel and remove the trim break. The airtime and speed of Hurler is insane when the trim break is off. The layout is not that bad. Also keep in mind You have to pass HURLER to get to the DROP TOWER ...

^I disagree, Hurler was easier better than Thunder Road after GCI reworked turn 3 before Carowinds reinstalled the trim brake. Also if Hurler got a boost in foot traffic because of Fury then Scream Weaver would have too. Hurler’s entrance isn’t near Fury nor is it on the way to ...

I think the trim is the main thing holding it back. Take that off and redo the track a la Ghostrider and you’d get a lot more airtime. I think this idea is super short sighted. Hurler is a dated, mediocre at best, wooden coaster. ...

... Lumber Company (Mystic Timbers wooden coaster connection as someone else posted (but that coaster was built by GCI) • "We will cut it down, trim it up, and set it up to your specifications" and "custom furniture"? maybe in 2020 a custom wood coaster or retrack RMC of Hurler?) ...

... favorite part was the head choppers. WOW! My fifth credit was Great American Scream Machine. I was not a fan. From what I understand, they added a trim brake, and put the old Georgia Cyclone trains on this ride, and I heard it was better before that. It was very rough, as well. Might be the roughest ...

... that would probably ruin the pacing, there’s nothing to change. Hurler I think would be nice with a full GCI retrack and the removal of the first trim. I think it’s fun as it is now but it’s not necessarily a quality ride. I also like Nighthawk, and it appears to be well liked among the general ...
