In these two videos which are not from Carowinds, you'll see an old friend in it's current location.
In this first video, look at the 1 minute and 6 second mark.

In the second vid look at the 1 minute and 16 second mark and the 3 minute 53 second mark.

Good to see the ride, but the title is a bit misleading, you may want to change the title.

It was the first roller coaster with a loop I ever rode. Anybody remember how right before you left the station they would say "Lightning Strikes.............................................Now! Then you would take off.

I was a year old when White Lightnin' was removed. My mother rode it, and said that Cyclone pretty much made White Lightnin' obslete.

I am back from Carowinds Connection Time-Out!

I wasn't necessarily too young to ride it - but I was scared of Coasters until the age of 12, so this ride freaked me out as a kid. Would love to get it back though.

Boy do I miss White lightening.

I just wish Carowinds would get faster, more exciting coasters like they have @ King's Dominion. I go there about every year and cannot get enough of volcano or the Hypersonic! I also would love for Carowinds to get a much, much taller drop zone!
