Carowinds
Closed
Carolina Goldrusher is a classic mine train coaster that sends you rumbling through the hills of Carowinds on a fast-paced, family-friendly adventure. Trains wind around tight curves, dip through tunnels, and race past rocky scenery that evokes an old Carolina gold mine. The ride offers moderate thrills with small drops and quick turns rather than big plunges, making it a fun step up for younger coaster fans and a nostalgic favorite for longtime visitors. It’s a great choice when you want a bit of speed and excitement without going to the extreme.
