Ricochet (Carowinds)
Encyclopedia
The Ricochet is a Wild Mouse roller coaster located at Carowinds. It is located in The Carolina Boardwalk, and was built in 2002 when the boardwalk had just transformed from the Blue Ridge Junction. Although the ride is sister to the Kings Dominion  ride of the same name, the Virginia version has a different layout, featuring a 49 feet (14.9 m) drop prior to its sequences of sharp turns.

Ride layout

Riders exit the station before taking a sharp turn and up a 45 ft (13.7 m) chain lift. and taking turn followed by a small brake run and repeating that three times. Then, the riders go up a small hill and another brake run, take a sharp turn and go down the biggest drop of the ride, where the rider's photo is taken. After that, the riders go up a hill before a brake run and 2 bunny hills and that is the conclusion of the ride.
