It didn't grow 78 feet, Carowinds advertised the tower as 340 feet in 1973 then numbers varied between 340 and 320 until Intimidator or Windseeker opened when they started listing the 262 feet number. 262' is the actual height of the ride tower. The flagpole makes it 340' which I assume is what was ...

I read somewhere that Fury 325 was only passed by the FAA when Carowinds pointed out that the park already has a 340 feet tall Skytower.

My Area Manager from when I worked at Carowinds was there when it happened. I also know a few people that have scraps of wood that were obtained from the remains of the riverboat.

The Sternwheeler was damaged "beyond repair" during a crane lift in which was being done to position the structure for permanent display. Carowinds asked Paramount Parks to fork out the money to repair the Sternwheeler, but Paramount Parks Corporate decided the Sternwheeler was "beyon...

NC is just as strict on carnival rides as they are Carowinds. I have seen fairs with half the rides closed because they failed state inspection and were being repaired or awaiting repair.

Will someone stop feeding Lance information? Park News - (5/12/15) While Carowinds has yet to officially comment on the rumored demise of Thunder Road, Screamscape has heard from the spy network that you might want to get your last rides on it sooner than later... like by early July if possible.
