Yeah IMO, this is definitely the best attraction the park has ever built. In terms of appeal at least, since it’s thrilling, doesn’t have a big drop, and is pretty well-themed compared to the rest of the park. It’s the most well-rounded attraction we’ve ever had.

Does anyone know if the line queue will have any type of theming? Like Cobras Curse or Verbolten? Both great coasters by the way!!

Here is a quick Montage of the Copperhead Strike Animation POV versus the Actual POV from Carowinds today.

We’ve seen some so far:

Looks like a motorboat to me and some other “hillbilly” type stuff you’d find on their property. Also along the wall I believe is spray painted “no trespassing” or something like that in orange paint. Not sure what’s going on in the third pic.

I love all the theming and I’m curious at what is all going to happen inside the launch barn. Although this may be a stretch it would be so cool to have some kind of animaTronic snakes lunging out with hissing sounds and lit eyes along the route of some of those tight turns.

Theming in the queue line!!!! That looks impressive so far. It would be awesome if they had a tv screen in the line playing some kind of back story with car chases, gun shots and moonshine!!!

There WILL be a gift shop for Copperhead Strike in blue ridge junction. And the experience gets even better because they will have a mining activity in the area too

[Techedchart1551]

This is very impressive! I may be asking too much, but like one post above said, I kinda want some TVs or even a preshow displaying the backstory for the ride.

Also, that mining activity sounds cool, especially for kids too small to ride!

They will not interact with each other. Would be nice but there is not a block in front of that 2nd launch to let it happen

That is a shame, from watching the POV it looks as if the track was designed for interaction. The first train passing below the 2nd launch as the 2nd train is going through the 2nd launch. The timing roughly lines up as well, oh well it was a nice thought.

[Techedchart1551]

While that would be super cool to see in person, the interaction seems dangerously close, and it is a massive hand chopper. I don't think having trains on both parts at the same time would be safe. my perspective could be wrong, but it looks too close to me.

Sadly, if any of the theming in the queue is within reach, it will be destroyed within a few years. I've seen it happen at Busch Gardens, and I have no faith that Carowinds would ever repair anything in the queue

Any info on media day ? I remember with fury’s media it was posted here and we were aloud to register. Not sure if there were extra spots that time or what.

I sure hope that doesn't happen! The theming is too detailed and unique and i'd be extremely sad to see it go!
