Lucy's Crabbie Cabbie (formerly known as Taxi Jam and Hey Arnold's Taxi Chase) is a steel roller coaster at Carowinds and California's Great America.[1]

Design

Lucy's Crabbie Cabbie, next to Intimidator, has a blue track with a yellow train. The train consist of six cars with two people per car making a total of twelve riders. The coaster was made by E&F Miler Industries which also made the Taxi Jam roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland and The Great Pumpkin Coaster at Kings Island and Kings Dominion.

Layout

As you leave the station, you climb up the 15 foot (4.572 m) lift hill. When you reach the top of the hill, you do a left downward bank turn, which takes your picture in the middle of the element. You climb up a small camelback hill, then a smaller hill, with a downward left helix, following a series of airtime bumps.
