Carowinds Discussion Thread

I'm going to Carowinds this Sunday. I have a question..? Can I take a backpack (The one with the strings that you can pull) into the park when I arrive. Just something to keep my camera in, and maybe a bottle water, and phone and such.

Yes you can.

Ill be heading to the park on Labor Day Weekend (Possibly Sunday) while I'm in the area. I was just wondering if anyone knew an estimate on how long with Fast Lane it would take to get all the coasters done? I'm really hoping to stay longer but it might just be a coaster run! I also know not all the coasters are on Fast Lane.

Looks like we have our first 2013 rumor. www.screamscape.com/html/carowinds.htm

[coasterdude2011Donkeys give me orgiastic scream!]

I can't say I'm surprised, Carowinds has had many large additions lately and it only seems right for them to follow the Dino's trend. It also makes sense that Valleyfair and Worlds of Fun are both rumored to get one.

I'm not a big fan of getting Dino Alive but if they do get it I think it would only work out nice if they changed Action Theater to play Dino Alive 3D. Also it would be cool if they followed in Cedar Point's steps and put in a racing water slide. An addition to Boomerang Bay is needed bad. Overall I still can't wait for 2014 since that seems like the summer Carowinds is ready for another big attraction hopefully coaster #14.

It wouldn't suprise me that DA is what is comng in 2013 to carowinds seeing as how this attraction seems to be doing well for all of the other parks that've added it so far.

The 2014 season should be a good one coasterwise for Carowinds as well as KD since both parks got their last coasters the same year back in 2010 & were identically themed,of course the intimidator/nascar theme made sense for both parks as there are nascar race tracks surrounding their respective target markets.

Yeah I could see Carowinds, Kings Dominion, and Kings Island all with their next coaster in 2014. Maybe something to replace Son of Beast for Kings Island. Whatever Carowinds and Kings Dominion get has a decent chance of being the same thing just like the Intimidators.

The two Intimidators are nothing alike.

^ I think he means that they will have the same theme just like the Intimidator's not that they are the same ride.

In my opinion, carowinds needs to add more slides to its water park. Forget a new coaster they have plenty already. What they dont have are slides and flat rides. The last time slides were added was pipeline peak and the last flats were in nick central...not including windseeker.
