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

 by RollerBee ¦  January 21st, 2014, 12:42 pm ¦  Forum: All Things Carowinds ¦  Topic: $30 mil 300'+ tall coaster in 2015 (to be announced Aug. 21) ¦  Replies: 4860 ¦  Views: 261066

I figure Paramount like this, Saturator is gone as is AFX. Carowinds has Nighthawk which is 10 seasons compared to 4 at PGA.
Paramount rides that are gone:
Son of Beast (KI)
Tomb Raider (KI)
4 OF 5 AFX (PGA remains)
Hypersonic (KD)

I figured 4 million will go further than new ticket booths and changes to the Plantation House. I would be surprised to see the Plantation House standing in 2016, changes to the parking lot, I doubt if anything the exit needs the most change.

As far as moving the maintainance road, with the removal of South Gate the maintainance will likely be connected there. I expect the bridge will be removed as part of the North Gate remodel, I am on the opinion that new buildings wilk replace the bridge. The cost annouced is $4 million.

Because a true expansion would require more Sweep, Janitors, Food Service, and retail. (Example: Wayne's World and 2008 Boomerang Bay).

Arent the go-karts and Jukebox rumored to come out also? I suspect if those do, they will fenced off or gone by Opening Day.

I enjoy Nighthawk but not enough to wait 30+ minutes for it. My point was for as much space as the ride takes up and as low capacity it is, it is wasted space that could be used for a higher capacity ride. How many coasters would fit in Cobra's footprint have higher capacity? A launch coaster like F...

The only way to speed up the loading/unloading process on any flying coaster would be to have the seat rotated while the train is motion. Vekoma had originally desgined the trains to do this. My understanding is that the hardware to it was left on the trains but the system never worked properly. Eve...

What space waster? The only wasted space is Dinos,Windseeker and Nighthawk. Only thing Nighthawk is good for is having 30 minute plus lines.
