Carolina Goldrusher at RCDB

Carolina Goldrusher is a steel roller coaster made by Arrow Dynamics of Mountain View, California. The coaster is located in the Carolina Boardwalk area of Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was the park's first roller coaster and one of only four original rides that still operate in the park today.

In 2023, a gold train debuted on the roller coaster to commemorate its 50-year anniversary.^[4]
