Wow! Just found out that this ride is indeed the old White Lightnin' coaster from Carowinds. South Africa, cherish this coaster, it has a rich history at Carowinds. We all couldn't wait to ride it back in th eighties. It was a must ride every trip to Carowinds. There will never be another White Lightnin'/Golden Loop or Thunder Road(good childhood memories) I can still here the announcer .......'Lightning Strikes, NOW!!!!!
unfortunately, I was too scared to ride it when it was at Carowinds (thanks to my uncle making up stories about it) that I ended up missing out on it because it was gone the next time we were there.
Funny story. I just found out about how White Lightnin’ ended up here. Also, I recently became friends with an international student from South Africa who’s studying in the states at my college. We live pretty close to Carowinds, and as it turns out, she goes to Gold Reef a lot and has ridden this ride! Small world, isn’t it?

We had a same shuttle coaster here in the states in Gurnee, ill called the Tidal Wave once upon a time.. Glad to see in this day and age of hyper, strato, and hybrid, coasters, that an old classic shuttle coaster like this still exist!!
Also Knott's Berry Farm recently announced that they're continuing with the Montezooma's refurb project. Also, Niagara Amusement Park in Grand Island has another one in storage there that'll hopefully be rebuilt in the future.
