Carowinds
Closed
Nighthawk sends you soaring through the sky on one of Carowinds’ signature flying coasters, where riders face the ground in a prone position for a dramatic, birdlike experience. After boarding in a seated posture, the seats tilt back and you’re launched into a twisting layout of drops, inversions, and near-miss elements that heighten the sensation of gliding and diving. Smooth steel track, rushing wind, and sweeping views combine for an intense, high-thrill ride that especially appeals to coaster fans looking for something more daring than a traditional sit-down coaster.
