Perfect ride to frighten a 7 year old. From a coaster standpoint, this does nothing. Still, props for the theming starting out interesting before devolving into a bunch of bare skeletons.

My most ridden at KD due to the various forces across the train. Front inside seats are awesome, no rattle and good hang time. Back outside is kinda brutal, but still not a bad ride. It's hilarious to bounce on the launch track. This is a complete experience, with good theming, and a complete coaster from launch to brake run. I've ridden Florida's new B&Ms and this is a huge upgrade on rattle standards. Stop complaining, you feel it on 3 elements for most of the train.

Top 5 first drop leading into some of the most powerful ejector in the world. At hill 2 or 3 you are hopelessly stapled and in pain but the ride is still elite. This is the only ride that makes me queasy from its intensity. Back right wing seat is the way to go.

This has an outer bank??? I'm sorry GCI, but I didn't know you did that. This is significantly rougher than its counterpart, but has the better layout...

This has an outer bank??? I'm sorry GCI, but I didn't know you did that. This is significantly rougher than its counterpart, but has the better layout thanks to its finale.

Interesting... I have not seen an invert behave this way before. I like the way it keeps it's speed, but a fairly dull layout outside of the two rampages keeps it from being better.

This didn't do much for me outside of the corkscrews. I was unimpressed and just waiting for the corkscrews to take my neck off, and they blew me away...

This didn't do much for me outside of the corkscrews. I was unimpressed and just waiting for the corkscrews to take my neck off, and they blew me away. Honestly the other inversions were good but the corkscrews are masterfully profiled.

I keep hearing "this RMC is a mini Steel Vengeance" about all the middle-tier RMC's but Twisted Timbers didn't do what this does. All 4 inversions are...

I keep hearing "this RMC is a mini Steel Vengeance" about all the middle-tier RMC's but Twisted Timbers didn't do what this does. All 4 inversions are reminiscent of SteVe's and I felt that same power on all the airtime hills. I want rerides.

The best traditional looper I've done. Sits at the level of Hulk and Montu, but lacks their punch, making it a great coaster for everyone. Summary: Ev...

The best traditional looper I've done. Sits at the level of Hulk and Montu, but lacks their punch, making it a great coaster for everyone. Summary: Everything right, nothing special.

Schilke hit a home run with this one. I can look at the layout and tell that it used to be Hurler (Carowinds is my home park, I want this so badly.) but this ride takes what was a forgettable layout and makes every moment memorable.

Best initial launch in the park LMAO. Stinks that they separate adults throughout the train, killing its capacity. A fun, surprisingly well themed fam...

Best initial launch in the park LMAO. Stinks that they separate adults throughout the train, killing its capacity. A fun, surprisingly well themed family ride.

The Blue Hawk hate is real. I get that it's better now, but it was never and will never be a great ride. On the days it is open, it runs one train, and you're probably enjoying the line more than the ride. Not much headbanging thanks to the vest restraints, but I'm not a huge fan of the layout.

I've ridden this a few times, but I stopped in 2022, seeing as the lift hill (as of my 2023 visit, I didn't check on my most recent one) is still missing multiple drive tires. It has some pretty good laterals for a family/kiddie coaster, if you call it that. This is janky as I'll get out, and you slam into the drive tires that pull you into the station horribly awkwardly. If you're trying to move your kid into coasters, this is good. Otherwise, just do it for the credit.

The ride Op told my grandmother to sit this one out. I laughed it off at first, then after the 2nd drop I realized why. This is one of the few coasters I've ridden that actually scared me.

Awesome first half, second half is there. Nice ops and good queue. I can ride this again. This has some fabulous airtime, and is in the top tier of B&...

Awesome first half, second half is there. Nice ops and good queue. I can ride this again. This has some fabulous airtime, and is in the top tier of B&M hypers.

This is literally themed after South Carolina roads. It's long, hilly, boring, and 40% potholes. Give Carowinds something worthwhile. Please. Gravity Group, maybe? Carowinds could have an elite big 3 right next to one another: Fury 325, a more modern Twisted Timbers, & then a massive Gravity Group woodie sitting on the Nighthawk & Vortex plots. This coaster is literally not even worth writing this long of a review, I entertained myself during the ride by screaming out Twisted Timbers' elements while bracing for the potholes.
