    Do you dare to ride up 325 feet high to then find yourself going up and down and all around wile not going upside down? Well if that's the case then you've found yourself headed for Fury 325 and it's ever so amazing Coaster thrill that can only be found here at the awesomeness that is Carowinds! Fury 325 is super tall you can see it sticking out like a big green light when the sun goes down and during the day it's just like look at that height and what it could do after the first drop of pure awesomeness! This coaster snakes around to give you multiple chances at airtime depending on where your sitting on the train as each row rides totally differently when it comes to the air time one will feel at this point your just ready for it no matter what the seat location! There is no loose items allowed on this ride whatsoever like they won't even let you leave your sandals off to the side they make them go with you by strapping them to the seatbelt restraint in front of your seat or by making you hold them if you wear them it's a good chance you won't ever see them again as the speeds for this ride are just incredible so buy a locker for $2 before you get in line or leave them with the chicken who doesn't want to ride this amazing ride of height and speed! Overall Fury 325 was such an awesome coaster that I had to go on it a few times just because it's amazing how high it takes you up and how fast your zooming through the track even at being this high of an extremely awesome ride it's very smooth and perfect for just about anyone who wants to take on the Fury 325 at anytime!

    I wanted to go to this park because of Fury 325 and it is definitely one of the smooth ride. Unfortunately this is the only ride that requires a locker and it is 2 dollars an hour unfortunately. Usually they give you it for 2 hours but not this ride for some reason. The drop is cool and it is a fun ride now is it my favorite giga coaster probably not. I love Millienum Force a lot better though. The drop and the ride layout is better. However with this ride I can marathon this sucker though without getting sick as I did it 7 times within that hour. I rode the front and it is the most intense. I rode the back and it was not too bad but I prefer the front. Now is it my favorite BM hyper I like Nitro a little better at Six Flags Great Adventure.

    Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

    The tallest roller coaster with a lift hill in the whole world. So fast and the few airtime moments are amazing!

    The high switchback turns are a good part of the ride but I honestly think it takes away too much speed and replace it with speed hills.

    Visited Carowinds recently and overall had a decent time, but there were a few frustrations. When…read morewe arrived, there were no clear signs showing where the EV chargers were located, and once we finally found them, the charger didn't work. It may not completely be Carowinds' fault, but it would be nice if they made sure the chargers are serviced and working properly. We also wanted to try some of the food in the park, but the lines were extremely long, so we ended up skipping it. I'm not really a coaster rider, but I still enjoy visiting the park for the atmosphere and entertainment. One of the highlights was Viva La Fiesta -- the dancers were so energetic and fun to watch. We also grabbed some fudge, which was really good. Despite a few inconveniences, we still had a nice visit overall.

It's not too friendly to pedestrians like me who stay at one of the hotels across Carowinds Boulevard and want to avoid parking fees. Leaving out at night on foot especially was like keep your head on a swivel! Carowinds has a top notch top four when it comes to coasters with Fury 325, Intimi- er - Thunder Striker, Copperhead Strike and Afterburn. Beyond that there's nothing too remarkable besides their mine train coaster Carolina Goldrusher which is more fun than I expected from an older family coaster. Avoid the dreadful Vortex which flipped the script on the drawbacks of a standup coaster by being painful everywhere EXCEPT for the family jewels. Also the herky jerky Ricochet isn't worth it unless there's a short line. It's not one of the better basic wild mouses that I've ridden. What is worth riding is the bucket list worthy Fury 325, my main reason for taking an extra day on my drive back from Florida to visit where the Carolinas come together. I got in 7 rides on this epic exhilarating experience and wouldn't mind 70 more. I was even tempted to buy a 70s style ringer Fury shirt with 3/4 sleeves but they sadly didn't have it in my size. Thunder Striker and Afterburn are great, too, but not outstanding like Fury. There's similar and sometimes better versions of these type of coasters at other parks so it's not worth it to make the trip out this way for them. Copperhead Strike is a lot of fun but never scratches the ludicrous speed itch like say Maverick at Cedar Point does. I only managed 7 rides on ferocious Fury by buying Fast Lane which I don't usually do but it was Saturday and Opening day. The one other time I had Fast Lane was at Kings Island where they used wristbands and it worked great. Well, Six Flags is testing out all online Fast Lane at this park and mine glitched out, not working anymore after my first two rides of the day, a couple laps on Thunder Striker. (That name sounds more like a cheesy James Bond villain than a racing reference.) So I had to waste about twenty minutes at customer service getting it reset. Just about the whole queue there was other people whose Fast Lane also crapped out on them. First day of the year and I hope they get it straightened out but I say bring back wristbands. But I also say bring back the old Cedar Fair without the Six Flagification dragging it down so I know my opinion is moot. Carowinds has some pretty good atmosphere. The painted state lines of North and South Carolina are charming and a good photo op. Carolina Skytower is some good throwback atmosphere. Those observation towers are a dying breed. They don't elicit the same glee from me as cable cars, which Carowinds lacks but points for the Skytower. Windseeker was down when I visited and Carowinds is pretty lacking on other large scale flat rides. No giant swings, no giant frisbee (I always love those) and most strangely no drop tower. No water rides either which seems odd what with hot Carolina summers. I hear they're working on remedying that though, and I didn't much care on a March day where temps topped out in the low 70s. There's plenty of different themed, or more often semi-themed areas. Too many. Crossroads could be absorbed into Aeronautica Landing which kind of has a cool steampunk vibe. County Fair is fun and retro but apart from 50s and 60s vs. 70s music ain't too different from Carolina Boardwalk. Same with Carousel Park which has super old timey music. I'm surprised there aren't more attractions in Blue Ridge Junction just given the part of the country this park is in. Thrill Zone is just basically Fury dominating that part of the park, especially with Hurler closed. I don't know if that's maybe permanent. Is it too rough? Maybe a retrack or the RMC treatment? My chicken lunch was basic and a long wait, more than any ride what with my entitled Fast Lane. Dinner was a snack of frozen yogurt with fruit and other toppings paid for by the wait that was actually really good & healthy feeling. Ride ops were good, especially Fury which seemed to have their A team. Fury did go down for a while in the afternoon or I would have ridden it even more. Besides that and the two rides down all day things were up and running, a good start to 2026. People watching was fun at times but nothing too crazy. I'd say that if you took away Fury than Six Flags Over Georgia would be a better & more well rounded park than here but Carowinds does have Fury and more charm, too. I'd return if I found myself in the area with time to spare, especially if I was with someone who has never ridden Fury 325. Have I mentioned how awesome Fury is in this review or the one I wrote just for that coaster? Seriously, someone could probably build a coaster that went through 3 states and it still wouldn't be as good as Fury.

Mako down at Sea World Orlando is still my favorite hypercoaster but Intimid, er, Thunder Striker was still worth 3 laps on my recent visit to the Carolinas. (I'm not even trying to create a new Yelp listing for the rebrand but somehow the Thunder Striker identity seems lacking compared to its former incarnation as the Intimidator. Raise Hell and Praise Dale!) I probably would have found myself Thunderstruck more but nothing in this more than decent park stacks up to the fantastic Fury 325.

This is one of those coasters that doesn't go upside down it just drops curves and speeds across an extensive length of track pretty much you start off high up and just race the whole thing and back making for a thrill each time you try it! They have bins at the top of the station for you to leave your items in wile you ride it's kinda nice because the staff shuts them wile your riding as they have a few bins mostly to separate your items from the next train so you don't have to worry too much about leaving your items behind wile you ride. This coaster is super fun and just an awesome experience for anyone who enjoys rides that go super fast and really high up because they run a few trains at a time the line moves kinda quickly so you won't be chillin for that long until you get to ride! Overall this is an awesome Coaster that I believe is just as fun as the Fury even though it's a bit different in it's own kinda way being it's named after a race car icon even though you pretty much forget about that wile on the ride as your hitting those high speeds and tight turns around the awesomeness that is Carowinds!

Of…read morecourse it's not an Intamin but made by Mack but it just seemed so much like the Carowinds version of Maverick. Of course it's a horse, er, a snake of a different color. And when I say "ruined" I just mean brought down from my lofty 5 stars wish-I-could-give-it-6 expectations to a still very solid 4 star piece of thrill ride machinery. The launches aren't astronaut training intense but they're still fun. Inversions are the main thing here and Copperhead Strike does this odd thing where it barely gets over the uphill on the loops, slowly down and then nearly stalling out at the top leaving you hanging there. The hangtime is an interesting sensation and the restraints are fortunately really easy on the body but I just really prefer rocketing through everything. This ride is so much about hangtime that it turns you upside down with a slow mo roll they call the Jo Jo roll. I'd call it the No No Roll as it's in no way thrilling but just kind of annoying. It's like they want to know who's ignoring the signs saying no unsecured items and can go scoop up cellphones, change and whatever else from that spot and pocket it instead of taking it to lost and found. Fortunately there's a shed around the corner from there with more the rustic hillbilly theming of this ride and a pretty decent launch to begin the ride in earnest. CS is buttery smooth and has a couple floater airtime hills but as I said is more about the Upside Down than Stranger Things. I think I would have actually liked a theme like that better as stuff like the misspelled spray painted words warning of danger got pretty tiresome. I get it. They're hillbillies with ninth grade educations - haha, I'm slapping my knees over the sheer hilarity of that. The actual Copperhead Strike sign is super dope, though, complete with the fierce snake head protruding out that you'd wanna see. It kinda looks like redneck steampunk or something. I rode Copperhead Strike twice and could have gone for more but the trains are low capacity compared to the other elite coasters here, Thunder Striker, Afterburn and Fury 325. Copperhead Strike was a longer wait than Fury and I couldn't get enough of Fury so why wait longer for this? These top four coasters are all the ones to get a least a lap on so I'm glad I got to ride the snake as Jim Carrey would say.

    I finally got to ride this ride and I was not disappointed. The theming was great and better than…read moremost of the rides. I like the rock work and detail. The line I wish was more better laid out as sometimes people hop over the rails and cut people. I wish they had the chain instead of the full metal of the zip zag. One thing is you have to get a locker for the bag or anything loose. One thing to note in the morning, the ride does run slower and more towards the afternoon it runs faster. The ride itself is fun, but if you hate inversions this ride is not for you. Do not ride this ride on a full stomach as the restraint can get tight on the stomach. I did enjoy this ride and my 3rd favorite on the park.
