tngdiablo Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 So I finished up my spring semester last Monday and had a week off before I started my summer session (today). I was really bored the whole week because there was only so much Guitar Hero that could be played, so I decided, what the heck, I'll drive to Charlotte and go to Carowinds. Stayed in Pineville at the Hampton Inn which I got through my cousin so it was only $30/night. Got to the park around 11 on Friday, stayed until almost closing. Did some stuff around Charlotte on Saturday and then went back to the park on Sunday for a few hours. The end result of my parking receipt sitting on the dashboard on a hot sunny day. Cedar Fair's doing. End of my day at the park. Made sure that this was credit number 150. And it was well worth it. Sick ride. Some airtime through the Immelmann. For you Derek. Fairly Odd Coaster was fairly not bad for what it is. See this Six Flags? Lost KIDS, not lost PARENTS. Left the park to drop something off in the car and grabbed this picture while in two different states! Zomg!!!1 Pretty theming. Forwards side, no airtime but fairly smooth. Backwards side, painful ejector airtime and much spinal adjustment. You've seen it before. Vortex in the water. Had a bit of a rattle, but it's a Vekoma so it was expected. Very forceful through the loop. Me like. BORG. The BORG. Zorg? Someone actually called it Zorg. 3 Point Challenge, I burned $15 on this and all I got was a basketball... The only other inversion on Vortex Yay for Confederate flags! Vortex...through Vortex. The ride turned out to be smooth and very decent. For you lift hill enthusiasts I was expecting this one to be like Chang, aka rough and tumble. One year ejection from park for standing on ride? Sure, why not... Definitely didn't ride because I didn't have a change of clothes, or a towel, nor am I stupid NAILED! Meh The top section was not braked, quite surprising, like the one at Hershey Not as good as the one at KD Hurler...*shudders* Carolina Cyclone, not a terrible ride, but nothing special Entrance sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Good to see you had an awesome time! I soooo can't wait to get back on Top Gun in June! T-Road forewards no airtime? Hmm not how I remembered, but I sure remember the ejector air and spinal readjustment on backwards T-Road! Great pics! Â -Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tngdiablo Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Moar! They had a very nice cigar collection and I bought some Romeo y Julietas. End of TR. Hope you enjoyed it. It is the ULTIMATE shopping zone, except not really. Stopped off at JR and saw a blimp flying rather low. Pink 3000GT, hawt! ?? Hi really nice Corvette. Back into North Carolina on the 77. This gas station had racing gas. I was very tempted to put it in my Saturn but at 5.99/gallon. No thanks. Hello South Carolina again. Jack in the Box was in NC, I had to cross back into SC to get to cheap gas and the 77. Thunder Road from the back. Chicken sangwich combo for me with a HUGE soda. With only a few good rides at the park and being worn out by Top Gun, I left around 2 and went to Jack in the Box. Who are these things? Amazing. No lines. Remnants of the Paramount merchandise. Top Gun go fast. Greetings The Boardwalk. No seriously, make it stop. Make it go away! The Big Dowg. *giggles* Yay for fountain? Hello, I am crazy support. How do you do? Loop da loop. No Smoking ftw! For the most part, there were no problems with smoking. SLC in training. I had a longer wait for this than for Top Gun. Top Gun....through the TREES. I rode 6 times without getting off. The park was empty on Mother's Day. No more oompa loompas (school groups), only families with small children. Not much of a skyline at this park. It is in need of a hyper. Hello South Carolina. I like your gas prices, they rock. Heading back into South Carolina from Pineville. On my way to see Spider-Man 3 with a friend, I hit 80000 miles on my 11 year old Saturn. Proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 One question: what's up with the fish on the Ricochet sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tngdiablo Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 I'm guessing its in keeping with the Carolina Boardwalk theme of that section of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
