We all have our favorite row/seat on all of the coasters at Carowinds, and I think we should share our favorites out of all the coasters at Carowinds!

Mine:

Intimidator: Back Row (Ejector air over lift hill, then awesome floater the rest of the ride!)
Afterburn: Front Row
Carolina Cobra: 4th Row (Smoothest ride)
Vortex: Front Row
Carolina Cyclone: Back Row (Rough, but nice pop of air on first drop!)
Hurler: Middle of Train
Thunder Road: Middle of Train (Solid ride this year with re-tracking)
Ricochet: Left Side, Front Row
Carolina Goldrusher: Front Row
Flying Ace Aerial Chase: 4th Row (Can't be a good ride, but 4th is smoothest)
Woodstock Express: Back Row
Nighthawk: 3rd Row
