Copperhead Strike in Carowinds ( Fort Mill , South Carolina , USA ) is a steel roller coaster from the Launch Coaster model from the manufacturer Mack Rides , which opened on March 23, 2019.
The 992 m long route reaches a height of 25 m and has five inversions : a heartline roll , a loop , a corkscrew , a cutback and another loop. After the Heartline Roll, the trains are accelerated from 0 to 68 km / h within 2.5 seconds using the LSM launch. There is also a second LSM shot down on the route, located roughly between the corkscrew and the cutback, accelerating the trains from 56 to 80 km / h within 2 seconds. The special thing about this second LSM launch is that the launch route is not straight, but extends over an airtime hill .
