Carolina Goldrusher, Steel roller coaster in Charlotte, United States
The Carolina Goldrusher extends across 2,397 feet of track, reaching speeds of 30 miles per hour through multiple twists and turns in Carowinds park.
Arrow Dynamics manufactured this steel roller coaster in 1973, making it one of the first attractions when Carowinds opened its gates to visitors.
The mine train design of Carolina Goldrusher reflects the regional history of gold mining operations that occurred throughout the Carolinas.
The roller coaster maintains a height requirement of 48 inches and processes approximately 2,000 riders per hour through its loading station.
In 2023, the park introduced a special gold-colored train to mark the 50th anniversary of this continuously operating attraction.
