Next was was the Carolina Cyclone. 



You've got the Carolina Goldrusher, Carolina Cobra and the Carolina Cyclone here.  I wonder what state; or in the case of Carowinds which straddles the boarder between North and South Carolina, we might be in?



The Carolina Cyclone is a classic Arrow Dynamics looping coaster that opened in 1980 as Carowinds second looping coaster.  The first looper at the park was White Lightnin'; which as a Schwartzkopf shuttle loop which I believe runs now somewhere in South America.



There's a vertical loop and of course a corkscrew which pretty much was all of the tricks that Arrow had in their bag back in 1980.
