Intimidator, Steel roller coaster at Carowinds, United States.

Thunder Striker features a 232-foot lift hill with a 74-degree drop angle, reaching speeds of 75 miles per hour along its 5,316-foot track.

The attraction opened on March 27, 2010, as Intimidator, representing a significant $23 million investment for Carowinds amusement park at that time.

Originally themed after NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt until 2024, the ride incorporated racing elements including red and black trains resembling his number 3 car.

The roller coaster operates with three trains of 32 seats each, accommodating 1,600 riders per hour with a minimum height requirement of 54 inches.

Eight drops and seven camelback hills create a continuous sequence of weightless moments throughout the entire course of this hypercoaster.
