Sounds promising!

As far as lack of airtime, I really think it's for ejector air (which isn't needed for this ride). It looks like it has some strong floater. I can't wait until Friday!

Wow, glad you posted this. I lost my strap last year at the beach when I lost a battle with a wave. I need to get a new one before Monday or I could see my glasses go flying off.

I love how the Thrills shop has Fury colors! Carowinds and Cedar Fair have done an AMAZING job with everything this year!

I remember back when I was a nine-year-old, daydreaming about a day when Carowinds would be one of the nation's best parks, but I always knew that a dream was as much as that idea would ever be. Now, that dream is beginning to become a surreal reality! This is an incredible time for Carowinds and I'm so happy to be able to experience it.

It's hard to top Magnum as my favorite steel coaster for nostalgia reasons, but I think this is probably objectively the best steel I've ridden. Better than New England Bizarro, Leviathan, Skyrush, I-305, etc. There is airtime on some of the turns and turnaround that I really did not expect to be there.

I'm into it! How was the turnaround at 91º/ what was the ride highlight for you?

If you sit near the back, you can get "sideways airtime" in the turnaround! It also whips you over the lift hill! Got to meet some of you! Good to see you Famous Amos!
