Carowinds Discussion Thread

[reviloleeResident Asian]

Just a quick question. Now that school has started for most kids, do you guys think the weekends are gonna be crowded? I just wanna know because I might make a trip there sometime soon.

I think it would be sad to see Wild Thornberries go but I would rather see that go than Goldrusher. Goldrusher has gotten more fun (and rough) throughout the years, hopefully CF wont do something stupid and get rid of it.

I have grown to hate Nickelodeon and wouldn't mind a theme change although it would be expensive. However, Carowinds is very much so a FAMILY park with a gearing towards younger children. Just look at how many junior flat rides there ae compared to adult flat rides.

Having ANY coaster go under the bridge at the entrance would be completely awesome. Carowinds is already pretty high on the inversions list so I wouldn't care if it had any (although I LOVE inversions)

Its just me but Carowinds should really consider namind the snake copperhead because they are indigenous to the area. There are eastern Diamondbacks too but they arent as common although more well known i guess.

I know we all Know that (boomerang) will replace Flying Super Saturator next year, but I was wondering what will happen to FSS? I was hoping they would move it to the waterpark, or send it to Geauga Lake.

That doesn't look like a possibility now that I found it for sale. I think it is FSS anyway. Here it is if anyone wanted to check it out. http://www.intermarkridegroup.com/used- ... c1022.html

If you remember, do you mind telling me what rides they were riding?? and around what time?

Again, still getting caught up. So I apologize for the double posts, but I want to respond to those questions directed back to me. Anyway, this is also calling on faulty memory. However, the Yo-yo was one that stood out because it really just seemed like a gigglefest instead of a quality check. And if I remember correctly, they were not ride ops for that particular ride. They came in through the exit and left through the exit as well.

For they Yo-Yo they would have entered through the exit. The Yo-Yo is not a standalone ride. Anyone you see operating the yo-yo is also an operator for southern star, and action theater. So they may have come from either of those rides.

That makes me want to be a Top Gun operator even more.

Don't you mean Afterburn?

So no one ever told me this... but Flying Super Saturator is now half-removed, i went September 1st

^You got that right!

I drove by on my way to work and I saw the top of a crane near where the "new" boomerang will be going. They were also moving a lot of the equipment around behind the new wave pool; my guess is over to the site for grading and such.

Im glad they aren't pussyfooting around putting this thing up. Better do it while its still a little warm out.

[carolinacaniac"Excuse me, miss, may I pound my large rooster into your donkey?"]

I don't think they really have to worry about the winter, as it doesn't last very long here in the south compared to the northern states. Nothing wrong with geatting a head start though so they can try to have it open with the park for the begining of the season next year.

Funny how they're taking FSS down before the boomerang goes in,as you'll recall during Dominator construction the crew had to take a break & start work dismantling HSXLC.

Then again since the boomerang is replacing FSS it obviously needs to be removed first.

[sushirocks13She turned me into a donkey! I got better...]

I wonder if they're repainting the track. I guess since no one knows the name it's anyones guess. They'll probably repaint it to the colors of what snake they theme it after. I dunno HAHA
