Afterburn • Carowinds

Inversions Pace Intensity

Love the theme. Now, to grade an invert...intensity is solid, the size makes it nice and compact in places but not too compact like Batman. Carries the speed really well and the ride sprawls out over its park location nicely. First drop is good and inversions feel appropriately whippy. The loop was pretty tight, and the rolls were smooth and fast. No head banging, no discomfort even though you get that typical invert bonkerz level intensity. Prefer the front on inverts but the back on this thing was really good as well.

I love a good B&M invert and this one did not disappoint. The intense positive G's on this bad boy are real. I feel the need, the need for speed, and that need was satisfied. As my body was flung around like a rag doll I was giddy enough to scream "Great balls of fire!" You don't have time to think up there, If you think, you're dead. The whippy and heaviness of the ride had me screaming "Let's turn and burn!" to my fellow co-riders. By the end of the ride all of my blood was in my feet. Also the station soundtrack was great.

Afterburn is an incredible ride. It maintains great intensity from start to finish. There is no rattle to be seen on Afterburn. Everything Afterburn does is outstanding. The problem lies in what it doesn't do. Afterburn ends far too soon. It has a ton of energy ready to be unleashed, and bam, you're done. The inversions are great, particularly the batwing. It's constantly diving in and out of trenches. All in all, a great inverted coaster.

Fantastic B&M Invert that has the layout that really lets the inverted coaster stand above most of the competition. Each element comes right after the last, making for a very eventful ride as you haul through the trenches and trees that the track resides in. Though this is one of the longer B&M inverts I still just wanted more after the train hit the final brakes, definitely one of the best B&M Inverts I've ridden.

Action-packed B&M Invert! The compact layout flows extremely well, as each inversion leads effortlessly into the next one. The Batwing in particular delivers an exciting surge of positive Gs!

Smooth and intense, Afterburn is such an amazing invert and is easily the most intense ride at Carowinds.

B&M Inverts are great and Afterburn is no exception. The ride is very intense and very smooth. The batwing is an awesome element and I love the other Inversions on it as well. My only complaint is that this Invert is significantly shorter than the other non Batman inverts I’ve ridden. For this reason I rank it under Banshee, Montu, Alpengeist, and Raptor

Inversions Fun Intensity

The Immelmann is a fun twist on the invert formula, but the rest of the ride lacked the pizazz I wanted from it.

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 forceful final helix is a great finale to a fast paced ride that left me dizzy each time. My favorite invert in the US.

Capacity Intensity Intensity

Quite intense B&M inverter - which, like all others of its kind, has only four good seats in the whole train. No airtime.
