Re: $30 million 300 foot tall coaster in Thrill Zone for 201

I went back and reread one article and while it Implys we are getting a wing coaster. It doesnt say that.I think Gatekeeper was used as an example because our coaster will have a presence at the front gate. However, I still believe it could refering to Intamin's Wing Coaster lije Skyrush.

Thats what Carowinds has led us to believe since 1973, that the state runs down the center of North Gate and the bridge. Heres another observstion from Google Maps, whats with all the storage containers in the Season pass parking lot?

According to Google Maps so does Cobra but at one point showed Vortex crossing the state line. State lines are not always straight lines like a map shows. I am wondering if the offical line according the state surveys doesnt meander through Carowinds in a wobbly fashion or if the states agree to hav...

Because the last ride offically to cross the state line was Thunder Road and there is plenty of room in the bus parking lot and on the NC side. Plus 33 of 50 is pegged for the NC side. Furthermore, unless Carowinds specific wants the coaster to cross the state line, I dont see any reason that B&...

I dont think it will cross the state line.

Was it early in the season, midseason or late season? Was it super cold, normal or super hot? Which hill did it barely make it over? Hurler is most prone to valley on turn 2 prior to the first drop. In 2006, we actually seen the train come over thr crest of the first drop so slow me and another crew...

If I can looking at the last picture right, the conduit went to the camera and they have broadened the curve, easing the trains into it more.

GCI says they have reshaped the turn to improve rider experience. Hmm, maybe I will renew Season pass.

Paramount didnt save any money by moving Stealth.I would love to have FoF but not at the cost of Cyclone. I am glad we got Cobra abd Saturator is gone, Saturator was boring when the water was off and the line was too long when it was hot enough to enjoy the water. I love Cobra!

Cedar Fair put the brakes on it and reinstalled Frenzoid, Paramount had listed Frenzoid for sale in 2006. KI's Firehawk ironically used Paramount Parks cancelled plans from 2001 to 2003. Back to Flight of Fear, information leaked out claimed that it wouldnt be fully enclosed similar to the MTV Sound...

Goldrusher was rumored to be removed after the 2010 season, it didnt happen. However, I will tell ya now, Carowinds did discuss removing Goldrusher but plans changed. Cyclone was almost replacee by KD's Flight of Fear, Cedar Fair put an end that Paramount's 2007 plans for Carowinds.

I doubt any coasters will be removed until 2015 or 2016 at the soonest. Even then, I doubt it until 2017 to 2019.
