March 5, 201510 yr comment_204107 Having not followed this at all, I'm quite glad the layout is something a little bit different for once... Rather than the usual airtime hill upon airtime hill, indeed, I quite like the first hill a lot...
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204111 Looks quite a lot like Shambhala but perhaps even better. I dont think it looks like Shambhala at all. It looks like a whole 2 thirds or the ride are extremely fast corners and turns until the large airtime hill, plus Shambhala is more about the airtime and this isn't, this should just make an incredibly intense low to the ground feeling type experience

Yeah this is definitely more twisty, bendy and more ground hugging and looks to have more forceful moments over airtime. Still looks a great ride though.
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204117 Why can't the UK get rides like this?! Imagine something on that scale meandering around Thorpe!
March 5, 201510 yr comment_204176 so, I'm here in South Carolina at the mo, and all the people I'm with despise theme parks, the park is a 3 hour drive away, and the only person eligable to drive is scared of heights and despises them most out of them all.

September 17, 20186 yr comment_260205 **blows off dust and cobwebs** From The Park that brought us Fury 325, comes another new addition for 2019. Copperhead Strike! This will be a launch coaster from Mack rides, featuring five inversions and two launches, one of which is actually on the airtime hill itself (interesting). The ride will reach speeds of 50 MPH, which may sound remarkably slow, but I will honestly say it’s more about the layout than speed on these types of rides. Check out the trailer and POV videos below. I like how Cedar Fair are theming up some of their newer additions.
September 17, 20186 yr comment_260209 No one posted about this? Gosh, thats a shame. Not even Benin? Looks great, so great that Mack has kind of cracked America what with Time Traveller this year and now this.
February 21, 20196 yr comment_263078 Looks absolutely fantastic. I hope Cedar Fair get one of these as a replacement to Volcano!
March 10, 20196 yr comment_263419 I do believe the park are still playing with the launches which is why the pov was released one launch at a time. I'm not sure if they are going to get faster but I suspect there is still some tweaking going on.
March 26, 20196 yr comment_263777 Copperhead Strike looks excellent. When Mack get their pacing right, they are unstoppable.
March 26, 20196 yr comment_263787 Surprised there is not a thread for Carowinds (not exactly a small park..) Copperhead Strike looks like the perfect coaster to round out the parks top 4, looks like quite a lot of fun. Edited March 26, 20196 yr by JoshC. It was buried but it exists ;)
