The Copperhead Strike Roller Coaster at Carowinds Theme Park, Charlotte North & South Carolina

It seems for years the old standard sit down coaster was going out of fashion but Copperhead Strike certainly gives me hope that one day the coaster wars will heat back up with a contest of who has the most loops like it was back in the 1980's.

If that doesn't happen at least we will still have Copperhead Strike to get all loopy riding.

So, what did I think of Copperhead Strike?

Copperhead Strike was wickedly fun with plenty of thrills squeezed into a small package.

Copperhead Strike kind of looks unassuming with a top speed of fifty miles an hour and a height of eighty-two feet but dam is it fun.
