Carolina Cyclone

The first coaster in the world to have four inversions!! Quite a feat for its time and is a beautiful classic Arrow coaster. I am a sucker for the corkscrews (see Corkscrew review at Cedar Point). This is not the smoothest coaster, yet was also built more than 40 years ago. Compared to the modern coasters in the park this is a fun, small coaster that is a great gateway for younger riders before moving to the big four. Also, this historical coaster accomplishment is a great addition for any coaster enthusiast.

This Arrow Dynamics coaster slaps pretty hard but not in the ways you want it to. Did you know it was the first roller coaster to have four inversions!? The inversions are very forceful and your greatest airtime moment is extremely violent. Coasters have come so far since this was built in 1980, but this does give you a greater appreciation for the smooth and thrilling rides of today.

This ride needs help. This is one of the roughest steel coasters I've ever ridden. The loops make your head slam on the head rest... ouch. Then you shake through the corkscrews which are mildly disorienting but not really in a good way. On every bad transition you can bang your head against the restraints. The only reason it is not a one star is because the drop is good and the helix towards the end pulls good force. Definitely a one and done though

It was a fun ride. There is some roughness but just prepare for that and you can hold yourself in your seat pretty well and avoid too much banging around. The first two loops are pretty intense and lots of fun, but nothing compared to the corkscrew. There was also no line so we got in the front.

Ride it if you like collecting roller coaster credits, otherwise it’s a pass… the transitions between elements are so jerky you need to brace yourself throughout the ride.
