Carowinds | Copperhead Strike | Mack Dual Launch

[Hixee]

I've yet to ride, and I do believe my fellow enthusiasts that it's great, but Icon does look a bit poo in POVs (both animated and real).

Gives me hope that something like this, which looks great in the animated POV, will see an equally big step up in reception when it's finally open!

 

[Antinos]

I love it. It gives off similar vibes as Maverick did - it's not the biggest or the fastest, but it's going to pack a punch. Copperhead Strike looks to be quite a quality ride. Looking forward to taking a few laps on it.

This looks great, I'm sure it will be fantastic, another one who loves the 2nd launch, wow!
I mean, I'll absolutely hate the hanging inverted top hat as it looks gross, but the rest of it is right up my street.

 

[Antinos]

I'm hoping the physical ride runs a bit faster through that top hat than what the animation shows. I'd love some good floaties, but not the hangtime as everybody has pointed out already.

 

[Hyde]

Animations definitely show tons of hangtime in inversions, which is my chief concern. But Icon too looks to meander a lot, and has seen good reception - hoping for the same here.

My only real complaint with the theme is that the Copperhead reference seems so random. With that station, that show building, and those cars, it's clearly meant to be a moonshining-themed experience, why the snake in the logo, name, and story?

To shed some light on this, Copperhead Road was a popular Steve Earle song (which I posted earlier) that sings about moonshining, and has stuck as a theme for moonshiners. Thunder Road, another previous great of Carowinds, was also themed to moonshining. Copperhead is an allusion to all of this, rather than a literal copperhead snake.

It looks kind of fun. I like the juju roll & the launch over an "airtime" hill. Towards the end it looks meh. I wish they would've fit in a barrel roll in the part where it's just a bunch of twists & turns. Good investment for the park I guess.

What a lovely shade of orange.

I'm rather intrigued to see this go up. Hopefully it means more rides like this can make it into North America.

I'm not really a huge fan of that color. I think that comes down to Cedar Fair Orange fatigue. We'll see how it looks when it's all together.

I think it will look better once it’s built. However against the grass it looks more like a rust colour.

Yeah that was my first thought. I guess it fits the theme but it's different from the animation.

 

[Antinos]

I love the shade and I think it's going to look better as the project progresses.

 

[Snoo]

Yeah I'm on the "thats not bad looking" color. I like it.

I like the color for a wall but not for a roller coaster...I call that "basketball orange"

I dread to think what kind of hideous colours your house is painted in.

It looks Molly Orange to me, as many on this site seem to like to say...

 

[vaugc002]

Nah Molly Orange looks too bright:

 

[Zek_Teh_Kek]

I'd say it looks copper!
