[Coasterkidmwm]

Gotta gie the park props for building this thing so quickly! Colors seem to look different in every photo.

Two new images from the parks twitter page. One of the inverted top-hat starting to go in:



...and another of the barn:



Also, track work is due to be completed pretty soon.

This really looks like a fun ride. I wonder how it pars up with the rest of the Mack coasters.

Here's are two more images of the completed top hat:

Glad to hear.

Only thing left to install is the transfer and storage pieces! Cannot wait to ride next year!

Me too, matthew! I was expecting this ride to be a bit larger, however.

Actually looks like a lot of fun now they've put it all together - there is a bunch of interactions and no doubt the airtime launch will improve the typically lackluster Mack launch.

It looks like a flat spot at the top of the tophat from some angles.

Some nice shots of Copperhead Strike from a different perspective:

Is the Jo-jo roll covered or just the beginning of the launch?

Hopefully not too long till testing starts.

Carowinds unveiled their 2019 Park Map, and surprisingly??? the rapids is gone.

Testing has begun:

I???m going for ACE Winter Warm-Up this year at Carowinds. Is anyone else coming?

I guess we can expect some full ride POV soon.

I hope they test it at Winter Warm Up, but there???s an 80% chance of rain in Charlotte around the time of our construction tour sooo...
