2009: Carolina Cobra, a "Boomerang steel coaster" featuring new trains from Vekoma, will occupy the former spot of the Nickelodeon Flying Super Saturator. Carowinds is rebuilding more sections of Thunder Road. Last year the majority of the work on Thunder Road was spent rebuilding the two large turn-arounds at back end of the ride and a little bit of the return track half way back. Now they have completely removed the old track in between last year’s rebuilt sections. Nighthawk will be repainted with yellow tracks and navy blue supports. Carowinds has replaced some track at the Hurler. SCarowinds will have its tenth year of screams. Wild Thornberrys log flume removed to make room for a new attraction in 2010, rumored to be a Hyper Coaster. Dora the Explorer Azul's Adventure's track is also modified for the new addition. Cedar Fair is rumored to not renew it's contract with Viacom. This means it will be the last year any character apart of Nickelodeon will be seen in the park. Action Theatre will be getting a new movie to replace the current Spongebob 3D film (or might close entirely).

Someone has changed it already.

agh...I will be at camp all this week, and I just know that they will get the track and everything assembled and running while I'm gone... :]

As to the last post, the area looks a bit smaller than Diamond Backs splashdown, but I could be wrong.
#30636
I would've thought that there would have been a splashdown for your coaster... BUT I also would've thought it would have been poured already. It is the biggest pour they will do, along with digging out the dirt, shaping it, etc. While I still think you'll get one, I think it's starting to get less and less likely.

Remember the humorous Wiki Hypersonic deal from a couple of days ago? I had to pass along the latest humor. This time from the Theme Park Review folks. When showing some construction photos, here is what was posted:
My "sources" tell me this is a 4-across, prototype looping Vekoma woodie. Anyone hear something different?
Pretty funny. Just had to share.

A shout out and a word of thanks to everyone who was kind enough to post some pics since the reopening of the thread. And thanks to J for helping straightening out the thread also. I look forward to see what you folks that are going to Coasterstock dig up so to speak.

Dude wrote:ok...... y would we get a nother woodie we got 3...
we can get one some other time!!!!


We have two PTC's and an International Coasters, Inc. Woodie. It wouldn't be a bad thing to get another one from GCI, Gravity Group, or Intamin. Besides, there are other CF parks with four.

Yesterday, I noticed more "pink flowers" to the right of the "station" in the area where the old log flume station was... interesting... 8)

Also, has anyone noticed the new "numbers" near the South Gate.. There's actually a 'pattern' there now.. looks like something similar to Diamondbacks turnaround for sure..
