Carowinds amusement park renamed "Intimidator" roller coaster to "Thunder Striker".

Carowinds amusement park has renamed its second-largest roller coaster, previously known as "Intimidator" and themed for NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt, to "Thunder Striker." The park announced the change on social media without giving a reason, but the Intimidator trademark belongs to Earnhardt's surviving wife. The roller coaster, which stands at 232 feet tall and reaches speeds up to 80 mph, opened in 2010.
