Cruise on a coaster from your couch: Carowinds offers virtual rides

COVID-19 caused Carowinds to delay its opening last month, but thanks to technology thrill seekers can still feel the sting of Fury 325.

The park is offering virtual rides at Carowinds.com/RideAtHome.

Fans can now experience seven simulated extreme drops on Intimidator or take a cyber jo-jo roll on Copperhead Strike from the comfort of their couch.

In addition, there are virtual versions of Afterburn, Ricochet, Carolina Goldrush, Vortex, Drop Tower, Hurler, Carolina Cyclone, Blackbeard’s Revenge and several others.
