Re: Carowinds announces $50 million 3 year expansion project

*facepalm* I hope you are being sarcastic... 1) Goldrusher or Nighthawk wasn't removed to place Windseeker. 2) The cost to dismantle, demo and build new footings, reassemble the ride would be prohibitive for A)Putting the ride back where it was. B)Adjusting the ride's location by a few feet. If GR8 ...

I wonder if we can count the fact that Carowinds.com still has GR8 SK8 and Snoopy's Junction as a sign that the two will be returning. Log Flume was gone quicker and Carowinds confirmed on fb that Road Rally was leaving sooner than this. I dont an easy place in PS to put GR8 SK8, any thoughts?

I see Jukebox Diner is still standing but I cant tell if the gokarts are. Hopefully GR8 SK8 will surface again, if they can find a spot then the County Fair or Carolina Boardwalk would make nice homes. Since the train is still on the rails, my guess is that they will reroute it again. Afterburn's dr...

SwampFox, GR8 was a Chance Falling Star. Huss Rainbow look bigger but both deliever the same type of ride. I do see the actual train in the picture along with some track, it's depot and the "tunnel". I hope we get to keep the train even if it's track is shorten again. It looks like the gro...

Carowinds TV? I love how people who like the page just seem to complain about prices and small improvements.

The biggest reason Vortex has a line is loading the train. Visitors dont seem to get the concept of getting on the seat and slightly bending your knees. Your bottom is not supposed to touch the seat during the ride. Didnt they have video instructions in the station one season.

Yes, what he said. ^
I pointed that out several times but B&M giga is the general consensus. I would like to see a combo between I305 and Bizarro (SFNE).

The height and twisted layout of I305.

GIB, how many parks of our size still have those? While Deja Vu was enjoyable, Cobra is easier on the neck. I volunteer Vortex and Nighthawk in favor of a higher capacity and less painful coaster or a new log flume.

The gokarts, there seems to be a pattern chain wide of removing them. Rising cost of gas?

Southern Star was put up for sale before it was installed back in the park. Translation, Paramount wasnt planning on keeping it. Cedar Fair cancelled Paramount's plans and used what was laying around. However, I am glad it came back.
