The morning started out 40 minutes late since the alarm didn't go off. So instead of leaving the hotel at 9:30, we left at 10:30. We waited in the long line to get a ticket at we got in at about 11:00.

So first up was, of course, Intimidator. The queue was full. That means a long wait... NOT. Wait was about 30-35 minutes. We were in the 4th row. The ride was great but when I got off, I just wasn't satisfied like I wanted to be.








So we went back to Top Gun, or Afterburn if you feel like calling it that. It was a back seat walk on, we did it 3 times. It was really fun!








Then we went to Thunder Road. The south carolina side was closed so we did the NC side. Man was that rough.

Next we went to Carolina Cobra. I'm not a fan of those trains and the ride is NOT smooth. Don't tell me it is. But the coaster looks real good and adds to the area alot.




From the Cobra we went to the Cyclone. This is Carolina Cyclone's 30th year so it got a re-paint. All I can say is, well, it certainly brightens the area. Haha, you'll see what I mean in the pics. We sat in the back and it was fun but not that great. I remember when I first road it though and thought it was amazing.








Next was the drop tower. It was my first and it was pretty fun. We then went a road Hurler. I changed my mind about this ride. I don't really like it that much. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for roughness especially after getting beat up on Thunder Road.


We then road Scream Weaver, which IMO, is kinda weak compared to SFoG's enterprise. But it was really fun. Then we went to the skytower and I got some cool shots.




Then we went back to intimidator and rode front row. It was pretty awesome but I got hit by a bug. 3 actually, and 2 left splatter on me.....
Then we went back to the hotel and ate wendys for lunch.














After lunch we went back.


First thing we did was Nighthawk. Not worth the 1 hour wait, but it really looks nice with th water.








Then we rode the Drop Tower again and then hit up Intimidator 2 more times. The last 2 times were what really did it. I figured out how to make the lap bar not feel so uncomfortable. After that we rode the gliders and then left at about 7:30 to beat the traffic of everyone else leaving.

We skipped Vortex because of lines, but I really think Vortex looks good rusted up. It really goes great with the foliage.






Here are some other cool shots I got:


































Total ride count:
Intimidator 4x
Top Gun 3x
Thunder Road 1x
Cyclone 1x
Cobra 1x
Hurler 1x
Nighthawk 1x
Skytower 1x
Drop Zone 1x
Scream Weaver 1x
Gliders 1x

Nice report I now personally call cyclone Identity Crisis The Ride. I actually liked the v trains better than the four across on Goliath.

So how does Intimidator compare to Goliath?

Dang!!! Intimidator looks smooth! I chuckled at the bug encounter(s).

^^I think it would be better but the restraints aren't as good.

^yea one hit my arm and the other splattered on my sunglasses.

Sounds like fun! What time of day is best for Intimidator lines?

[lazor 22]

Pretty much anytime after the morning rush. The later, the better, but it's worth a full wait.
