I bet the park know a bunch of coaster dorks are gonna try to crack the code to their website to get the same info they will get in a few weeks/months so they will toy with you. Just as they did with the coaster on canada's wonderland's site...

I went to the park yesterday and a few more of the concrete blocks were installed in the ground and that was pretty much it. However my friend said he could read the card on the door of the crate, he thought it says Rec Warehouse.

Pictures later on.

I haven't been to the park in ages, because I have little time to go, but I'm curious about something: Is it possible to see what the footer marking numbers are where the presumed turnaround will be? I'm curious as to if the coaster will turn left or right, although I'm assuming left from what I've seen so far. I'd also like to know about how far apart the markings generally are.

Just trying to build a mental picture of my own. :)

That is what I was thinking--and if they are, it's pretty hilarious. I wonder what else is "hidden" in the website?

No, think about this, "Behemoth" a B&M Hyper ,"Vortex" a B&M stand up , "Raptor" a B&M Invert , "Beast" it is a coaster but it could be a "Beast". Ok, now lets think all but one is a B&M, one is a B&M Hyper and one is a hint. Sound's to me a puzzle.

You need some fresh air.

*sigh* C'mon, seriously? No one in their right minds is going to make a puzzle like this so you can figure it out before they announce it :roll: ...(Not that it's a well-kept secret anyway). It's completely random.

On a different note, I've been looking at other coaster designs as well (since it's not absolutely confirmed to be a B&M), and I got to thinking that it would be really cool to have a coaster like Storm Runner. What kind of coaster is that??
Well anyway... I got to looking at the layout of Storm Runner, and if you tweak the track just a bit (you know... add more track), it could vaguely fit in the area cleared off. Maybe not as long as the flags go, but I could definitely see it there.
Crazy, I know. but this topic needed somethin new... :]
What are your thoughts?

Alright so I went to Carowinds on the 4th and had a good time, suprisingly the lines werent that bad. More on that in a future trip report for the trip report section. Now on to the dirt.

Since my last construction update that have put a couple more concrete basins in the ground

Some more shots from the fence

One from the bridge

Alright now on the way to the south gate contruction...man I wish I could read those permits..wow they were cut out of the picture..great..

Image

Markers

Image

Image

Red dot that the picture did not get

Image

EDIT: This has now been confirmed to be a construction trailer to keep tools in.

Image

Edit: This must have been supplied by Rec Warehouse or something cause my friend saw their logo on the card on the door.

Image

He are some shots I have not seen yet on the interwebs, construction all the way at the entrance of south gate.

Image

Image

For my final shot, you really do not get the scope of how big the new attraction will be until you look from this view.
