Just like Kings Dominion, Carowinds has a Hurler.



When Carowinds was a Paramount park like Kings Dominion the chain would purchase several of the same ride and put them in various parks. 

I'm not talking down Carowinds because I really like it but I kind of got the feeling that it was the red headed step child of the chain.  I mean Kings Dominion got the larger Ricochet as well as Italian Stunt Track and Flight Of Fear, which were rides that appeared at several parks but not at Carowinds.  Still, being the underdog can be a good thing because instead of getting Intimidator 305 Carowinds got the vastly superior Intimidator.



This Hurler just like the one at Kings Dominion was ok but really nothing to write home about.



Stand up if you like B&M's?  Yep, Mike likes a good B&M like Carowinds' Vortex.
