It actually says "iz12enuff," but I get your point. I agree.

There is a little confusion here, though. KD's invitation says "15." The obvious conclusion was that it referred to the park's fifteenth coaster. However, that only works for KD if you count Rebel Yell as two coasters. If that is how Cedar Fair is counting at KD, then would they not do that for us? That would make this our 14th coaster, would it not? Or is this a policy difference between the two parks?

Forgive me, I enjoy playing devil's advocate from time-to-time. :mrgreen:

Are you serious? 13 may just be unlucky in racing then.


Any way, as previously stated, the 13 on the invite likely refers to this being the 13th coaster in the park.
KD's 15 may not represent the same thing as our 13 does by the way

The fact that Carowinds is throwing the number around all willie nilly is kind of concerning then, isn't it...

It is still red, it is still B&M and it is still just sitting there. :)

I'm sure if supports really were on site, we'd have seen them by now.

People have said on this forum that supports have arrived on site.


Not so much. One person said "rumor has it." That was all. :?

Anyway. Moving on.

Yeah, and then another person who went to the park that same day said that small supports had begun to arrive on site. Isn't that right Chunkyskunk? ;) And yes, moving on.

Carowinds has always counted Thunder Road as 1 and Kings Dominion has always counted Rebel Yell as 2. Just one of those weird things. Personally I think Carowinds is selling themselves short!
