Carowinds Discussion Thread

Well I googled "Mouthless mutters" and found it to be from this riddle from The Hobbit:

"Voiceless it cries wingless flutters toothless bites mouthless mutters?"

The answer to the riddle is, The Wind. So maybe a Windseeker for Carowinds?

Next to the code is also a series of writings/drawings, including "O&W Wright" (Wright Brothers), "Flying Machine", and "Application Filed March 23rd, 1903". (The day the Wright Brothers filed their patent)

Definitely a more cryptic approach to teasing, but I'm curious as to where all this will lead!

Windseeker since carowinds already has a vekoma flyer.

Turns out I may be able to visit carowinds since we've got some family business to take care of down there.

^Wow, 61 acres is quite a chunk of property. Wonder if it's the area behind Boomerang Bay or the area behind Hurler. Won't be surprised if they decide to do a Castaway Bay type resort hotel since they already have the campground or maybe a relocation of the water park.

This is definitely the riddle it is refering to. After playing with the web address, you will see there are 3 others that all confirm this riddle. So the answer is WIND.

This sounds interesting!

Overall Carowinds is one of the more enjoyable parks out there. Being a Disney nut I need to be weened off the Disney Crack pipe and ride some more thrilling things out there. Carowinds offers a lot of different coasters and was enjoyable for something new. It was also convenient since I attend college in North Carolina.

Found it ironic however that at the Entrance to carowinds i found a Magic Kingdom park map stuck to my foot. It follows me...

[CarolinaCoasterFreakI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

This is great news for the expansion of the park and the new ride addition coming next year! And from the clues, I would definitely say windseeker also. Although I was really hoping for a giant frisbee.
With Carowinds being my home park, The 61 acres I think they are talking about would be the area back of the hurler, adjacent to the campground, around to where the Rv's and buses park. Interesting to see how they will expand. Definitely pumped up about it!
