If the first two test runs were yesterday, it's extremely unlikely any human has ridden the ride yet.
Right now, the ride is still in the hands of the manufacturer. Typically there's an 'approved riders' list that gets bigger as more essential testing is carried out. In the early stages, only the engineers/those commissioning the ride would be allowed on. Then, as testing progresses, select personnel from Cedar Fair would be added to the list. Once the test and adjust period is completed and the ride receives its final approval and is handed over to the park, anyone can ride. This is typically when the park employees will ride for the first time. Then its on to media day and grand opening.
Of course, the above may not be exactly how Carowinds will handle it, but it's how other parks have handled it in my experience.
Yup! Probably not something that I would ride personally, but it sure looks nice in the park skyline.
