To my knowledge, this hasn't been posted on the forum yet, so I asked the owner's permission to share it here to which he graciously agreed (show him some shouts on YouTube). Pretty incredible early footage, including White Lightnin', Thunder Road, Carolina Cyclone, Wild Bull, Whirling Dervish, Kaleidoscope, and the Carousel. Most notably White Lightin', so if you never got a chance to see it in its original glory, check it out.

Oh how I miss the Wild Bull. Do any other parks still have their old Bayern Kurves? I think Kennywood has one but that's the only one I can think of.

I really miss the Wild Bull......the Whirling Derbish or whatever it was called. While we are at it I miss the Oaken Bucket, the sternwheeler, the Flying Dutchman, White Lightnin for sure plus the monorail, the train plus the sky ride chair lifts.

LOVED White Ligntnin'

I remember it being so much fun.........short...........but fun .....I think the last time I rode it had to be 1984 (ish), when I was like 12 years old.

I wish I could have enjoyed white lightning. I was born 6 months after it's removal.

[dabrian]

when exactly was it removed? I remember seeing it as a kid but was to scared to ride it.(regretfully )

Last rides were 10/16/1988

I really wish I could have ridden White Lightnin'...too bad I was born 12 years too late.

Oh well, if I ever go to Africa, I'll be sure to ride it.

Want to share this.

My gf is from south africa. Yesterday we were talking about old carowinds, and I told her about white lightning. She said it sound like a coaster back home. I asked her if it.was called golden loop. Sure enough she rode our white lightning just three years ago. This is unbelievable and exciting.

Found this while on YouTube, it is NOT my video so I will not post the link, but if you go to YouTube and type in: Carowinds 1993-Part 1 the video comes up, has some great footage from the Sky Tower and some footage of the Monorail.
