She\u2019d won blue ribbons at the county fair for 40 years with that jam, but no more. Granny Byrd\u2019s recipe is gonna be yours. But to get your hands on it, you gotta head way, way out to a run-down, broken-down farm at the far edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Word has it there are lots of copperheads around there, so be careful.<\/p>\n<p>When you get to the farm\u2019s huge shed \u2013 that\u2019s got to be the headquarters of her jam operation with all that banging and clanging \u2013 you get the strange sense that something\u2019s not right. Peeking in, you see that she\u2019s cookin\u2019 something alright \u2013 and in big, copper vats \u2013 but it sure ain\u2019t jam. It\u2019s something with quite a bit more bite that could get you in a huge heap of trouble if you\u2019re caught with it.<\/p>\n<p>After a sudden commotion, a shrill voice hollers, \u201cTrespassers! Y\u2019all git outta here!\u201d A gun cocks and you high-tail it out. Your getaway vehicle? Carowinds\u2019 newest thrill ride, Copperhead Strike. As the first double launch roller coaster in the Carolinas, Copperhead Strike delivers twice the boost and twice the bite. \u201cDouble launch\u201d means not only does the ride take off at an incredible 0 to 42 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds, but midway through a second thrust of acceleration launches you into the next half of the experience. A series of fast, tight, close-to-the-ground maneuvers are tangled with five head-over-heels inversions — the most of any double launch coaster in North America. What\u2019s more, this serpent of a ride never lets up throughout the entire chase \u2013 over half a mile of steel and adrenaline.<\/p>\n<p>Ready for this backwoods adventure? Coming spring 2019, it will be ready for you \u2013 only at Carowinds.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qxWGEsrYTUE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"cfp-cta_title\"><strong>Ride Stats<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Coaster Type:<\/strong> Double Launch coaster<br \/>\n<strong>Launching System:<\/strong> Linear Synchron Motor (LSM)<br \/>\n<strong>Number of Launches:<\/strong> 2<br \/>\n<strong>First Launch:<\/strong> From 0 to 42 mph in 2.5 seconds<br \/>\n<strong>Second Launch:<\/strong> From 35 mph to 50 mph in 2 seconds<br \/>\n<strong>Track Length:<\/strong> 3,255 feet<br \/>\n<strong>Number of Inversions:<\/strong> 5<br \/>\n<strong>Duration:<\/strong> 2 minutes, 24 seconds<br \/>\n<strong>Height Requirement:<\/strong> 52″<br \/>\n<strong>Trains:<\/strong> 3<br \/>\n<strong>Riders per Train:<\/strong> 16<br \/>\n<strong>Amount of Steel Used:<\/strong> 530 tons<br \/>\n<strong>Ride Manufacturer:<\/strong> MACK Rides GmbH & Co KG, Waldkirch, Germany<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OXTqu36qSoc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"cfp-cta_title\"><strong>Ride Overview<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>As the first double launch roller coaster in the Carolinas, Copperhead Strike will deliver twice the boost and twice the bite. The ride immediately leaves the station and goes into a jo-jo roll before loading into the launch station. After pausing, the ride takes off at an incredible 0 to 42 miles per hour in just 2.5 seconds. Guests will experience a series of fast, tight, close-to-the-ground maneuvers and flip upside down in five head-over-heels inversions — the most of any double launch coaster in North America. Midway through the ride, a second thrust of acceleration launches riders into the next half of the exciting experience. Copperhead Strike does not let up during its 2 minute and 24 second ride along 3,255 feet of steel. It’s full throttle all the way from start to finish!<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Blue Ridge Junction<\/strong><\/h5>\n<section class=\"cfp-pagesection-simple cfp-pagesection_contentblock\">\n<div class=\"cfp-pagesection-simple_content\">\n<p>Covering the western portion of North Carolina and a sliver of South Carolina’s upstate, the Blue Ridge Mountains region offers a majestic landscape, vibrant colors and undeniable charm.
