Because up until Copperhead Strike was announced, the only way to ride a Mack launched coaster like this would be to travel to either Europe or Asia... you know, other continents?

That was a genuine question. If it's the first in North America why wouldnt they announce "The first in North America" instead of "The first in the Carolinas"? I'm not questioning your fact, I'm questioning why they'd keep the hype to a regional scale instead of global.

There are a couple of Mack sit downs in the US already, but they are more family rides (Manta, for example). This is the first extreme Mack. Kind of hard to emphasize that, so they just went with 'First in the Carolinas.'
