Hurler, from Wikipedia
--
Hurler is the name given to each of two roller coasters built by International Coasters Inc. The two coasters exist at Cedar Fair's Carowinds and Kings Dominion parks. Both coasters opened in the same year, 1994. The coasters both have the exact same design, with the exact same statistics. The coasters originally borrowed their theme from the 1992 Paramount motion picture Wayne's World, whose main characters frequently used the word "hurl." While Paramount sold both parks in 2006, the new owners have retained the name as fitting for a roller coaster but removed references to Wayne's World.

Ride Layout
Riders are hoisted up a small 83 foot lift hill and make a wide turn before reaching the initial drop. During the drop, an on-ride camera automatically takes photographs of passengers. The ride continues with a wide, heavily banked, flat turn, then a series of hills and drops which jerk and shake passengers, giving the coaster a reputation of being bumpy and rickety.

Other Notes
Although the Wayne's World Theme has been removed from the coaster, many signs of the theme are still there. Including many stickers and stamps of the Wayne's World logo around the Hurler station, such as the columns by the exit.
