International Coasters built the structure but they are no closer in business. PTC provided the trains. Per NC Amusement Device Law, Carowinds has to follow recommendations and guidelines for PTC and International Coasters but the guidelines for IC would be from 1994 and I am not sure how Carowinds could get around not following those without being able to contact IC.
PTC may have changed the min temp for operation of their trains, Dollywood closes Thunderhead(GCI) at 35 degrees. I was told 40 degrees for PTC in 2005. Hurler has vallied on turn 2 before and I seen the trains crest the second hill on turn 2 so slow that it appears to stop several times on cold March mornings.

Your age old "facts" do not trump the fact that carowinds hasn't said what's running. They have no reason to say so right now. Let's get through one weekend of scarowinds. I'd rather listen to silence from the park than what someone told you 12 years ago. Just imagine if schools still used the same material from 12 years ago . . . Things change.
