Freshly painted B&M coaster track, notice the bottom of the lift. It looks similar to Fury and Leviathan. Could Fury's records be broke next season...

Eh, probably about the only Windseeker is exciting. Other than being a capacity eater, I don't care for the ride.

Maybe if that system works, they can have dueling dragons again.

^I remember that Gift Shop! Wonder if we could convince Carowinds into bringing Gold Panning back, just remember no pannin' while ridin' on Goldrusher.

By the way, just point out that Scrambler, Goldrusher and Powder Keg were all directed place on the main walkway around the park. The Carowinds spokes seem to be other attractions back in the early days. There again this was before theme parks had just rides.

The old walk through metal detectors could be set to sense objects as small as coins or they could be set so that not even steel toe boots are detected.

I doubt they would pay extra staff just because of fb comments, half of the comments on their Facebook are people whining about something.

The walk through metal detectors seem quicker than the wands, they might have a negative effect on appearance but I already got my pictures on Opening Weekend.

Wand Was not a metal detector? Was it just a stick with Fury colors?

That's odd, I always seem to experience congestion on the main walkways and have more walking space on the spokes. Interesting enough the hub and spokes design came was popularized because of Disneyland, the wheel part came much later.

So are they checking bags at the other walkway to the circle? The point of the new gate might be to get people in faster, and that does work. I imagine it is also to cut costs and expenses.

What does a paint job on the Skytower have to do with a plane crash? It was the red light that confused the pilot.

I doubt the 4D coaster will ever be built again in the U.S. How many more since X have been built? In the past 4 years, 2(ish) have been built. I'm sure B&M could create a smooth, reliable 4D coaster. I don't think we've seen many 4D coasters due to lack of technology, but I think Batman will c...

So entering today I noticed signs about metal detectors...does that mean they are coming? Also, the tables for checking bags coming into the entry plaza seems to block people trying to exit, so I am not a fan of that process. I was loving the entry, but this really is not the right answer in my opi...
