    Inversions Intensity Too short

    Super intense ride that feels like flying in a fighter jet(matches it theme). Great inversions, but imo the least fun of Carowinds' big 4. Decent ride all in all, plus had a low wait for most of my da...

    Fun Intensity Capacity

    Surprisingly intense and forceful. Only downside is that ride operations are frequently slow.

    Inversions Pace Intensity

    probably the most intense invert i've ever been on. absolutely rips through its layout. the batwing on this was one of the first times i almost greyed out on a roller coaster.

    Pace Intensity Too short

    This Montu wannabe is still great. It’s intense and quick. The batwing is a highlight, but don’t underestimate that last corkscrew.

    Inversions Nice surprise! Fun

    I rode it during the rain and it was really fun honestly and I didn’t expect that. It was raining hard too. Good inversions as well and an overall good coaster

    This is a beast! My favorite invert. It flies through the layout. The batwing pulls crazy forces.

    Unbelievable intense, brilliantly paced, and overall, just a fantastic ride. Easily #2 at Carowinds!

    Inversions Intensity Layout Headbanging Harness

    Pretty good invert with whippy inversions and some good forces. It always feels like it is taking the layout way too fast and as fun as it is to fly through the course, I can’t really get as good of a...

    Idk why but I like the location

    Still one of the best inverts

    Comfort Intensity Smoothness Headbanging

    It was fun, not top 10. I like how it was super intense and fighter jet themed but i dont really care that much about it. Worst of the top 4 at carowinds

  • Miles Hawkins 2 months ago

    Inversions Intensity

    Whippy invert that keeps those inversions coming back to back to back. The final corkscrew is very intense, maybe more intense than any other I've experienced.

    Pace Fun Layout Too short

    Can’t go wrong a B&M invert. Great ride. Intense but not overly intense. The zero G roll is fantastic on this ride

    Best invert, 2nd best B&M.

  • Eric Esty 1 month ago

    Inversions Pace Intensity

    Afterburn is a perfect example of an outstanding B&M invert. It's perfectly paced without any dead spots. It has a loop, an immelmann, a zero-g roll, and a best of all, a batwing. The flat spin and a ...

    Inversions Intensity Rattle

    Bon ba ca vibre un ptit peu mais niveaux intensité c est niquel. Les inversions vous envoient vers d autres monde . Un bon BM même si j ai préféré Montu.

  • Maddux 2 months ago

    Inversions Intensity Layout

    Night ride on a mild October night. 2nd from back row. This packs a punch. My number two invert, now that I've gotten on Montu. These both use terrain/trenches to keep pacing and speed up elements lat...

    I thought this would be a decent ride, with how high other people rank it, but this ride was one of the worst at the park. I could barely enjoy the ride with the constant headbanging and rattle. I usu...

    Ride is awesome. Inversions and pace are great, no rattle in my opinion.

    Inversions Intensity Layout Headbanging

    it's aggressive, definitely, best invert, but this on a hot summer day makes the inversions too whippy, and causes some headbanging. not a single wasted inch of track

  • Wesley O. 10 months ago

    Inversions Fun Disappointing!

    Given all the talk about the first drop, the view, and the intensity it brings, I was pretty excited to ride this one. News Flash- It's not that great. I don't get it. It was my first 100ft+ drop of t...

    Très bon Inverted avec une belle pointe d'intensité surtout au niveau du Batwing, mention spéciale au Zéro G Roll qui envoie du gros basculement au First Row, le rythme est très bon et le layout régal...

    This is my favorite inverted roller coaster to date. You can definitely tell the difference in speed between this one and rides like the Batman clones and Silver Bullet. The added height to the firs...

    First Drop Intensity Layout Too short

    This is a nice B&M Inverted Coaster. The first drop over the parking lot looks so high, the intensity is almost too much and the elements are good and interesting. The entire thing end a bit abruptly ...

    Capacity Inversions Intensity Too short

    For me the B&M inverts are all much the same and I am no big fan of them though they are always worth a ride. This one is fun and intense but a little bit too short.

  • Chris J. 1 year ago

    Inversions Intensity

    Afterburn is really good. I don't think it's one of the best inverts like most people do but I do enjoy it. It's fast-paced and intense but it is on the shorter side when compared to other inverts. St...

    This is the inferior top gun. The top gun at great america totally mogs this one. I went during some winter event where this was the only ride open. So I stared longingly at Fury wishing I could ride ...

    Another B&M invert with great, intense inversions at a fast pace. Last 3 inversions are the best ones, absolutely insane.

    Afterburn is one of the first roller coasters I ever rode. I recently rode it again, and I enjoyed it just like I did the first time. Nothing too fancy, just a very solid inverted coaster that has ele...

    Ive ridden three B&M inverts (raptor, Batman, and afterburn) and afterburn is my new favorite. You really whip through those inversions. So much fun

    This is what the best invert looks like. When you take all of the mid away from Montu you get just the good stuff with Afterburn. Its like skipping your veggies at dinner as a kid. Who the hell likes ...

    This was absolutely hauling in early 2024. The first few inversions are your typical fun B&M invert ones, but then the batwing is a killer moment of sustained intensity, and the final corkscrew is the...

    Discomfort

    Yet another B&M looper that is too forceful for me. It even has a pretty bad vibration or shimmy during the second half.

  • Michael M. 1 year ago

    Inversions Intensity Layout

    B&M inverts are always fun and this one is no exception. My preference is to ride from the front get the full effect of the inverted-ness. The inversions are forceful and whippy (causing me to headb...

    Afterburn is the most intense invert that I've been on, and I loved it. It's relentless from the surprisingly steep first drop to the whippy final corkscrew. The batwing fully delivered; I grayed out,...

    A phenomenal invert. It's beautifully forceful - I greyed out after the first loop and during the batwing. The inversions, especially the zero-g roll, are fantastic. It utilizes the terrain super well...

    A well executed invert. Better than Great Bear, Raptor, Silver Bullet, Talon, Batman. Worse than Montu and Dragon Challenge.

    The inversions are forceful and the trenches are really fun. This one felt short for some reason. Left me wanting more.

  • Carter Eckhart 2 years ago

    Definitely a top tier invert. Most of the elements have force but the batwing and corkscrew are the real stars of the show with their neck snapping whip and foot numbing positives. The coaster also te...
