Rollercoasters. You either love or hate them. Put me in the love category. Though I have to say I’m not one that has to be on the tallest, fastest, or other record-breaking rides. I’ll go on them sure, but some of my favorites are sufficiently average. And that’s ok! But if coaster thrills are your favorite then you’re certainly glad Cedar Fair took over at Carowinds. Since purchasing the park in 2006 they have invested heavily in it adding many attractions. This includes several new roller coasters- Intimidator, Fury 325, and Copperhead Strike. This makes perfect sense as Cedar Fair’s original park Cedar Point in Ohio is known for having some of the best coasters in the world. And now, so is Carowinds. A list by BlooLoop has the author, a self-described aficionado, ranking his 10 favorite roller coasters. And one of Carowinds premiere attractions was in the top 5 coasters in the country.
Having a ride of this notoriety takes Carowinds from a destination for local North and South Carolina residents and puts it on the map for thrill lovers from around the world. This list includes coasters from across the country, of course, Cedar Point is home to two of the rides. I’d actually say what the author ranks as number 10 is one of, if not my favorite, rides I’ve ever been on. Keep reading to see where the Carowinds ride ranked in the top coasters in the country. And check out a POV video of each one as well. Would you ride them? I’ll ride anything at least once so I’d love to check out the ones I haven’t had a chance to try!
