It is Six Flags, why couldn't it be? Just another knee-jerk reaction to the accident.

I considered going today too but I am glad I didn't. Oh brave Wormy, I thank you for your bravery and knight you. Wormy the brave!

Thanks, I wonder how a 300+ foot wingover drop would be. If nothing else, it would look interesting.

Inversions do not equal excessive forces, what is the highest inversion?

[quote="MarkD"] Drop Zone could easily be replaced with a larger one if they want. Already set up pretty much. Plenty of other places to put a S&S, in the area between Vortex and the theater, in the area behind/side of Chik-Fil-A, etc? [quote] Just replace Drop Zone with a S&S towe...

Morning guys, I finally got my update ready on Carowinds Zone. Follow link for photos! Sadly, given the day's situation it wasn't a very fun visit but that is mostly personal issues. First off, let me start with saying I am currently wearing a foot cast on my right foot and could be until August how...

I hope it stays unless the replace it with one of those new 400 foot drop towers. They could do what Leisberg did and turn the sky tower into an Intamin giant drop ride and just take out the existing drop tower and replace it with a flat ride. If they lower Windseeker's height restriction, that wou...

Ok, I highly doubt this! Knotts Berry Farm was going to replace Skycabin with Windseeker but all of sudden, plans changed. Looks like it is a good thing that they did. Ride operators aren't normally in the know especially this early in the season, furthermore what would replace Skytower, it is very ...

Leviathan is likely to have a longer construction timeline because of several factors.
1)Longer, colder winter.
2)Dragon Fire stayed in operation for most if not all of the season.
3)Doesn't actually go in the parking lot?

I went yesterday, but I didnt make it back to that part of the park until it was dark. Harmony Hall looks pretty good from ground level. It was super busy yesterday and most of the day I had my daughter by myself so I only got a few pictures.

I dont mind the transition from theme park to amusement park, what I mind is the removal of shade trees. I mean look at Dollywood and Six Flag Over Georiga. They are both well shaded and fairly spread out. I believe that Intimidator should have been put behind the flume and further into the parking ...

Of course not, rumor has it that the park's GM doesnt like trees. Maybe they will plant some trees around the building when they are done. I aint holding my breath however.

Well, I hate to say it but all of Carowinds looks crammed together truthfully. Especially compared to a park like SFOG. In my opinion even Cedar Point looks more spread out.

I dare guess that Intamin and B&M prices are competitive to each other, my question is does the price include construction costs and everything or just the cost from the maufactor.

I doubt Cedar Fair is going to let our coaster be taller than Millennium Force. Levithan is 306 and I-305 is 305.
