I count 5 excavators. And they are currently digging a big hole. They dont seem to be making it any wider just deeper. Is this a massive footer?

It very well could be. Or it could be that the WWF track foundation is larger and deeper than anticipated, and they may just be digging deep to get under it and rip the rest of it out that way.

I dunno, they dont seem to be near where any of WWF was. I am looking at how deep those excavator arms go down and that hole has to be atleast 20 feet deep.

Here is V2 of the No Limits video.



At first I wasn't completely sold on the idea of this being a spinner but after making this I am liking that idea a lot more than this being just a regular sit down, I am a fan of the idea of no two rides being exactly the same.

Each of the designs shown look to be low-capacity. If this is "the next big thing", its gonna have to be a people-eater.

Like I said, I wouldn't be opposed to a spinner but it looks a bit more nauseating than a standard sit-down coaster. Both concepts look realistic though.

I think I like the song better lol. Made me watch over and over.

As far as capacity, Mack LSM’s like Icon will have 16 riders per train and the others like Blue Fire or Manta have 20 per train (similar for Gerstlauer infinity trains on Goldrush or Hangtime). It won’t have B&M level capacity but this is Carowinds we’re talking about, any summer weekday should be fine.

That POV was a bit much for a spinner, then again you can’t add the magnetic controlled spin like the real thing.

I wonder why the webcam is pointed at Dinosaur's Alive and Afterburn now...

Helix is the only Mack launcher I've been on, but it was incredible (it's my favorite coaster with inversions) and it would be a huge win for Carowinds to get a similar ride. They can actually move lines pretty quickly even with only 20 riders per train if the crew is decent because the trains are extremely easy to load and check. I'm really hoping for standard trains but I could easily see it being a spinner.

Jonathan! You're back from the dead!

I don't know what you mean, it's still pointed toward the construction site at this link:

[EDIT] Ah, I see. You were referring to the Camp Snoopy cam.

[CCookieMonster]

Now the camera's pointed back at the Camp Snoopy area. Could someone please explain why they keep changing the camera position? Is it just going in a circular rotation or...?

[tarheel1231]

There are two cameras, but the one pointed towards the construction site is not embedded into the Live Webcams paged on the park's website.

With two launches they could conceivably run 4 trains.

The Spinner version of this looks to be nauseating, At least for me. I hope this is a standard launch.

The spinner in No Limits is also uncontrolled, Time Traveler has magnets to keep it from getting out of control.
