If I were in charge of SCarowinds, this is what I'd do, section by section:
Carowinds Plaza (SCarowinds Plaza):
I think they pretty much have this down, maybe I'd theme it to an old haunted southern plantation (Definitely without the slave connotations, though) with kind of an evil plantation owner who liked to murder his help. I'd extend this over to the new Grove section and have a haunt with that theme over there. Obviously keep the kid's trick or treat area in the amphitheater there, but maybe set that up with some smaller bar maids and a DJ at nite for adults. Obviously keep the show on the stage near the front. Replace the 'Overlord' with the plantation owner.
Carolina Showplace (Creature Canyon? Warewolf Canyon?):
I'd theme this to warewolves and Vampires. I'd use the drained rapids ride for a haunt like they do at Canada's Wonderland. I'd keep Feeding Frenzy where it is there. I'd have a Knott's Hanging style show in the theater.
Thrill Zone (The Dead Zone):
Zombie Apocalypse. I'd have wraps around the 2 game booths by the Scream Weaver and a crashed car in that 'alley'. I'd have roaming Zombies. I'd have a Zombie themed haunt in the Sinema building.
Carolina Boardwalk (Blood on the Bayou):
I'd theme this to a haunted Bayou. I'd heavily theme the mine train back there, and where Fury is, I'd use that as a Swamp themed haunt with crazy bayou people and crocodiles.
Carolina RFD (Cant think of a name, but the overall theme would be a weird little town with a hotel, camp, and school):
I'd keep the Blood Drums show back there, but I'd move the stage from in the middle of where everyone walks to back towards the entrance to the water park. I wasn't impressed with the show, but people seemed to like it. I'd revamp, but keep Dead Inn, and then move Kamp Killue over to where Corn Stalkers is. Plus this is where that new haunt building is going. If it is indeed a Zombie High kind of thing, I'd keep Zombies over in Thrill Zone and just have this as a high school taken over by hostile teens.
County Fair (Circus X):
This really needs more theming. I'd have a scary Carnival Barker or Ring Master as the star over here. Instead of Last Laff, I'd have a more Circus Themed haunt there, not just clowns, but clowns, freaks, etc. I'd also have a real freak show in the area.
Afterburn Plaza/Dinos Alive (For Oimet):
I'd theme this to a top secret military weapons testing area. I'd have scaracters themed to that around top gun and then I'd add some theming to Dinos Alive to make it an upcharge haunt where only a few people go thru at a time, and turn up the scares a notch themed to a military research area gone wrong with DNA testing.
Planet Snoopy (The Playground):
I think the playground works here, but I'd deinitely re-theme the carousel to a spooky carousel (Maybe wrap it and put a fog machine inside, and play scary music under red and blacklights?). Is there anywhere to have an updated Defex back there? Plus I'd turn the train into a haunt.
Intimidator Plaza/Nighthawk Walkway (Nightmare Valley):
Keep the Asylum, obviously as it's one of the best. And they usually have some spooky racing theming. I'd have more fog and scaracters in the walkway under Nighthawk's Lift.
That's what I'd do, but that's just me dreaming.
