Posted at 4:31 PM EST (2131 GMT)

Mar. 16th, 2004 -- Paramount's Carowinds has started showing a short TV ad for their new flying coaster: BORG Assimilator. BORG Assimilator is a repainted Stealth from Paramount's Great America.

The ride is 115 feet tall, over 2,700 feet long and has three inversions and three flips.

BORG Assimilator is the park's 12th roller coaster and is designed by Vekoma International of the Netherlands.

ThrillNetwork.com has the video of "the mothership of all roller coasters," and it can be viewed here.
