Next was my turn for a dirty credit.



Eventually the ride operator caught on what we were up to and just let the rest of the group hop on and get the credit without having to wait.



Just like at Kings Island the Runaway Reptar coaster became the Flying Ace Aerial Chase after the parks stopped being owned by Paramount Studios.



Just like the one at Kings Island it's a fun little coaster.  Not too exciting but a good ride to work up the budding coaster enthusiast with.



Night Hawk used to be the Borg Assimilator when the park was Paramount's Carowinds and before that it was Stealth at Great America in California.  This is the prototype flying coaster that came from Vekoma.  We didn't get to ride it as it's gearbox blew out and well, it's been down most of the year. 



After getting thoroughly intimidated, hurled, ricocheted , took a trip down Thunder Road, ended up in a Cyclone and Vortex Bond needed to do some cross state line "pwnage" before we ended our day at Carowinds.

A MASSIVE thank you to Carowinds, Bryn Hough Carowinds PR Director for setting up our ERT and everyone else for giving us such a memorable visit.

I just wish it wasn't so far away as I really want to go back.

The next and final stop on the Negative-G 2010 Road Trip:  Dollywood.
