There is no reason for anyone to doubt anymore that this ride is a B&M hyper, and there hasn't been for some time.

I just want to clarify that i don't doubt that it is a B&M Hyper. I just thought I ask if anyone thought that could it be a launch coaster with dragster trains to fit a racing theme and with all the signs saying "breaking history" that it could ment that it could be the tallest ride in the park.

I think you maybe right in that regard. Sincer the ride is probably racing themed I can seeing doing decorated trains and suck. I still dont know about the Record breaking, history making thing.

Because the tallest ride there is the Carolina Skytower (320ft) which has been there since Carowinds first open. And I think that if this roller coaster is going to break history then it should be taller then the Skytower beause thats been the landmark (height wise).

I think it will not have to go taller than the skytower to be history making. It will either be the tallest coaster in the park record or another one.

^ Sorry to be the negative Nancy here but from the looks of the footer layout this ride could not be anywhere near 320 feet. The amount of track / space required to run off 320 feet of speed just doesn't seem to fit in our construction site unless the train was to hit the brakes going 60, which isn't something B&M likes to do. From the looks of our footers so far, this will most likely be just over 200' like other hypers from B&M.

Remember, don't take the "record breaking history making" statement too literally guys. This IS the park that claimed 8 inversions on Borg and talks up a boomerang like it's the greatest invention since sliced bread. We should all be happy we're even getting a hyper.

[BoociferPatch]

That was a typo that has been corrected

I do not think it will be over the skytower to be history making...

All I want is a hyper atm.

[bobbysmagic]

Agreed on getting a Hyper.

I was reading in another thead about construction else in the park and bgwfreak stated " I was there yesterday and yes there is a large crane over by the rapids, but the rapids was closed. So I'm assuming they are removing boats for whatever reason." But if I remember there is a pulley design to remove the boats. So my question why do they have a large crane? I'm going to the park on Monday. I'll see what all is going on and get some pictures.

This IS the park

This IS the CHAIN.

Ok...could people be hacking the Carowinds website to mess with us? I mean an actual Carowinds Thrill Ride page for Hypersonic? I mean it is on the page and everything. If not, is it an old idea that never happened and is just laying stagnate on the page? Are we getting two coasters in the newly cleared area (one being our new hyper and the other being XLC? I am curious why that page is there!

Thats a very good question. At first that's what I thought we were getting and I posted a Thread at the time they were clearing the lot and I thought it would fit in the area, and with the big footer for the tower thats what I thought. Beats me.

[jasonwilson88]

All of the old Paramount Park pages are really messed up coding wise, it's not hard to see how Hypersonic could accidentally appear on our website.

The construction going on at Carowinds is 100% NOT for Hypersonic... it's a gigantic site with footer markings ranging the entire length of the park.

I know why it's there, i'll spill the beans monday if no one gets it. it's probably not why you think.

[jasonwilson88]

^ Why not just bust his bubble now? We are NOT getting Hypersonic. Look at the area marked for construction!

Tell is NOW!!!!!

Btw, It scares me about this XLC and white lighting launch coaster thing. Could we be getting a new coaster and a headache too
