CAROWINDS VS GILLERMO DEL TORO

Carowinds is my home park! I’m glad you enjoyed. This park is Cedar Fair’s new favorite child and they’ve really turned this park around from it’s Paramount days. It’s actually the largest Cedar Fair park in terms of land at 407 acres. We used to have a flume ride where Cooperhead Strike is now and a rapids ride that closed this year for future development. There was also a monorail years ago when the park first opened but has been closed for a while.

Fury 325. Categorically my favourite colour scheme for a ride. Chartreuse (toxic variety) is my favourite colour, and the combination of that with turqoise is stunning. Incredible.

A great park for coaster fans. Sorry that Alex had a nasty experience but it was great to see him joining in again at the end. It’s always good to praise customer service as that can really make a difference to your park day. I’m liking the sound of the Cedar Fair parks based on your vlogs.

Every vlog in this trip Shawn: THIS IS A BUCKETLIST PARK

Great vlog! I completely understand Alex's experience on the Flying Dutchman. I handle almost all roller coasters very well until I rode Firehawk at Kings Island a few years back. By the time I got to the brake run, my head was spinning and my stomach was a mess. My head was messed up until I woke up the following morning. I think the warm weather plus the unpleasant restraints/seating position played a big part.

Awwww I love Carowinds! Fury 325 is amazing. Who thinks after burn is on of the most intense inverts

Looking forward to watch a new epic vlog for the next hour !

The 14 rollercoasters they rode in order: 1. Fury 325 2. Hurler 3. Copperhead Strike 4. Afterburn 5. Nighthawk 6. Carolina Goldrusher 7. Intimidator 8. Vortex 9. Ricochet 10. Carolina Cyclone 11. The Flying Cobras 12. Kiddy Hawk 13. Woodstock Express 14. Wilderness Run

I've been to Greece for a week! Time to binge watch all of the uploads I missed from all of my favourite channels! R.I.P Blackpool Pleasure Beach's Wild Mouse... I pay my respects **squeak squeak**

Of all the bucket list coasters including TTD and SV at Cedar point... Fury 325 is the one that will get me to book flights over to the US, I'm sure of it. It looks absolutely breathtaking. It looks like my dream Coaster.

2 weeks ago, I was at Carowinds and thought I was going to find CS to be ok, at best. I got to ride it at the end of the night, 3 times in a row, and absolutely loved it...the POV's don't do this ride justice. It was one of my biggest surprises on the 22 day, 29 parks trip I was on...just an absolutely fantastic ride.

Glad you enjoyed it! I live only 25 minutes from Carowinds, it's a solid growing park

You really get the whole Six Flags VS Cedar Fair thing now. SFOG has an arguably better coaster lineup, but the care Cedar Fair puts into their parks makes them way more enjoyable than any Six Flags park I have been to.

@@ofclshn Honestly, yes. SFOG may not have a ride that reaches Fury, but the average quality of their coaster collection is better and more consistent. Once you're past Fury, Afterburn, and Intimidator (which I find to be fine but not exceptional) the quality level drops off dramatically at Carowinds, IMO. SFOG also would EASILY be a nicer park than Carowinds if Six Flags bothered to take care of it and had better employees.

Hey! That's ME! around minute 27. My boyfriend, brother and I were on a rollercoaster road trip. I was just reminiscing and remembered we ran into this situation.

Ha! Those "cheeks" were my first thought too Shaun on my first ride at the bottom of that drop - I'd just come off I305 and had those cheeks for a good 4-5 seconds on that first turn and rise up... but had no idea I'd get some of that on a B&M! You get intensity at the bottom of Millenium Force, but nothing like what you get on Fury 325 and I305. Incredible stuff.

Carowinds is my home park. What I have to say about it: For merchandising reasons, the 2015 construction of a teal-and-white hornet-themed gigacoaster and the 2014 return of the Charlotte Bobcats professional basketball team to their previous name and colors is a *complete* coincidence. Those of us who stood in line for 2 hours back in 1999 don't care that Paramount sold the park, we still call her Top Gun. Hurler--much like that foul little restaurant sitting in front of it--needs either an RMC overhaul or a wrecking ball. Vortex might be saved with new trains and restraints. It was like B&M's second ever roller coaster, and look how far they've come. BTW, Vortex's logo hasn't changed since Paramount owned the park. It saddens me to think that Nighthawk could have been 640,000 soup cans. What a missed opportunity. RIP Thunder Road. I wish you could have ridden it, I would have enjoyed hearing "Now that is a proper out and back wooden racer" in a British accent. I'm actually a little scared for Carolina Cyclone. She's a lot rougher than she used to be, and one of her trains has up and disappeared. The world's first coaster with 4 inversions turns 40 next year. I visited the park on July 4, 2009, and saw the huge concrete footings they had installed in (what used to be) the parking lot, and thinking "Man, something BIG is going here." A month or so later, they announced a B&M Hyper. I have a theory about Copperhead Strike: That first roll right out of the station is there because Mack Rides would rather improperly restrained guests gently fall out there rather than get projected into the water park on that powered ejector hill. Dear Ohio, Sorry about Geauga Lake, thanks for the Vekoma Boomerang. It's a good one, and we'll take very good care of it. Signed, the Carolinas.

I could listen to the b&m roar for hours.
