With about two months until Carowinds opens its gates for the 2019 season, we had an opportunity to tour the construction site of its latest thrill attraction, Copperhead Strike, a dual launch coaster set to open in March. With track already completed and much detailed work (i.e. electrical and theming) underway, the coaster project is on track to open as scheduled. Take a look at all of the progress thats been made in recent weeks and months. Coaster Addicts Butch, Sandi, and Luke were at the park for the tour on January 16, 2019. In addition to the coaster project and newly-reimagined themed area, Blue Ridge Junction, the park is hard at work on a new hotel project (SpringHill Suites by Marriott).
