Carowinds
Closed
Copperhead Strike is a high-speed launched coaster at Carowinds that sends you twisting and looping through a backwoods farm-inspired setting. The experience starts with a slow-roll inversion right out of the station, then builds into rapid launches, tight turns, and hangtime-filled inversions that keep the thrills coming. Track elements feel close to the ground and surrounding scenery, adding to the sense of speed. Although intense and packed with airtime, it’s smooth enough for many coaster fans to ride again and again, making it a standout choice for thrill-seekers in the park.
