In 1980, Carowinds became the first park to have roller coaster with four inversions. The Carolina Cyclone was at the back of the park behind the old Train Station. After 24 years the Cyclone is still a favorite at Carowinds, and standing proud as one of the park's most popular rides. Cyclone is a very fast paced storm so bring your sick bags. It has been repainted three times from its orginal paint sheme. It is currently dark blue and black, but has also been carolina blue, red, and green.
