Goldrusher is an untamed ride that will jerk you about. But it’s fairly tolerable. The final helix is crazy it will aburbtly throw around.also the sense of speed in the second half is unreal.

Capacity Layout
Surprisingly bad operations for a park that was otherwise amazing At ops. These arrow mine trains are pretty boring. This one wasn’t as bad as some others but it’s just ridden for the credit . At least when you’re sitting on final brake run for 34 minutes you can freshen ur breath with a used piece of gum, so you’ll die from a hornet attack with a minty mouth.

Wow an arrow mine train. Haven't seen one of those since the last park I visited. At least it doesn't hurt as bad as arrow loopers

Fun Smoothness Duration Discomfort Dead spots Lap Bar
The ride is nicely long like most mine trains which i like, and it was surprisingly smooth! But when you ride this, get ready for the lap bar to come down hard. i'm a very small person and it felt like i almost didn't fit in the ride.

I actually really enjoyed this. It has some surprising moments of speed, and it just has great run factor.

Fun Layout
One of the better mine trains I've done. The layout is pretty long and compact and it's an overall smooth ride. There are plenty of great near misses, especially at the end with the tunnels. Lowkey underrated night ride.

Fun Lap Bar
i really like carolina goldrusher, it is a good family ride that offers a nice relaxing ride expierence. My only complaint is the lap bars coming down hard at times, but it is bearable for sure.

Nice surprise! Pace Discomfort
Carolina Goldrusher lacks the scenery of most mine trains, but it's still a fun ride. Well paced and fun, but wow these seats are uncomfortable and tiny!

A nice little mine train ride by Arrow. Great for the kids. Better than you'd think it would be. No gold though.

Fun
Carolina Goldrusher doesn't really do anything wrong, but it's a mine train, and those are generally pretty small. It never packs much of a punch. It doesn't blow you away. It just provides a fun, smaller roller coaster that's enjoyable. It's just okay.

Location Discomfort Lap Bar
This would have been a cute little Arrow Mine Train were it not for the awful lap bar that just crushes your lap. One of the worst staplings I've had in my life, and I don't even have a overzealous ride-op to blame, just the ride. It's kinda hard to enjoy the cute layout and scenery that Mine Trains have when you're fighting with a crushing lapbar the entire time.

Nice surprise! Location Fun Discomfort
For Carowinds’ first ride, this coaster is still going strong after over 40 years. It is definitely better and more intense at night, though the very back feels way less intense than say, the 3rd to last seats. Overall good for a minetrain coaster but due to being wooden it is still rough in some areas.

Overall pretty boring and uninteresting, but it serves a purpose and the tunnel at the end is fun.
