The first coaster in the world to have four inversions!! Quite a feat for its time and is a beautiful classic Arrow coaster. I am a sucker for the corkscrews (see Corkscrew review at Cedar Point). This is not the smoothest coaster, yet was also built more than 40 years ago. Compared to the modern coasters in the park this is a fun, small coaster that is a great gateway for younger riders before moving to the big four. Also, this historical coaster accomplishment is a great addition for any coaster enthusiast.

I have a big soft spot for old looping coasters and Carolina Cyclone scratches the itch. It's relatively smooth. The two loops are fun. The corkscrews are nice as they go over the path. The last helix is fun as it's partially underground. And the turn between the loops and corkscrews has a surprise pop of air if you sit in the front. A fun ride that I have no complaints of other than it being too short.

This Arrow Dynamics coaster slaps pretty hard but not in the ways you want it to. Did you know it was the first roller coaster to have four inversions!? The inversions are very forceful and your greatest airtime moment is extremely violent. Coasters have come so far since this was built in 1980, but this does give you a greater appreciation for the smooth and thrilling rides of today.
