I guess I'll change the subject...

Hope this new coaster breaks the World's top ten steel or even overall. That would definitely bring a larger enthusiast crowd to the park. People will start travelling specifically for that and not visit us as a side park.

Question for the more experienced in coaster announcements: When the hyper is announced, will there be a layout picture and a released POV with it?

I would assume they would do that, since behemoth and diamondback did that when they were announced.

Yes I hope it is an animation from our friend Keith at http://www.3dvip.com/ .. they have done pretty much every major Cedar Fair and Six Flags addition in the past 5 years, perhaps longer. In fact if you don't go with them you will just look silly. (See the Griffon animation from when it was announced.. just terrible..)

Some of the old timers (lol I'm an old timer) may remember their work as Badnitrus first hosted by Danimation then Coasterbuzz. The site still exists here: http://badnitrus.coasterbuzz.com/.

EDIT: Just found the Sheikra one.. and holy crap it makes the Griffon one look AMAZING. LINK. C'mon Busch get with the program.

That Sheikra POV is hilarious. They could have done a better job on Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Oh my god, hell even I suck at Roller Coaster Tycoon and I could do a better job than that..

Hahaha JamminJ, I can't believe somebody else around here still remembers Danimation. That was my first roller coaster site, and I credit (blame) it for much of my subsequent fascination.

When does school start back?

OK!, This is kinda random but while I was reading the thread I got to thinking about the name of the past 2 hypers cedar fair has built. The first started with a B, and the second with a D. Continue the pattern and you end up at F. So I thought about what a cool hyper with a name that starts with F could be like! I thought of Fireball. Red Track, Black supports, Flame design (V shaped) trains that light up at night so you can see it streak across the sky like a real fireball, and it could be heavily themed. I think that would be cool. Not saying that is what they are going to build but I just thought I would share an idea I thought of!

I really don't think it matters. Once you get out of control, you just go till you hit something. I still waiting for the crash.

I was at the park today too. I won't repost too many of my photos b/c everyone's already covered many of the same shots, but this one is puzzling to me. No one's mentioned what these things are:

Those are safety rails that they put around the hole when they are drilling the footer so no one walks into the drill.

When did Carowinds 73 rejoin this board?

off topic, but who?

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

Maybe Carowinds has already invited the press to Coaster Stock...

I could definately see them being there just because its "news." I mean I think it would make a great story I guess.... I wouldnt even be surprised to see it on the news a few days prior just to get more people to go....

[b&mcoaster1095]

heavily themed.

[carowindsman6654]

For all we know, supports and track could possibly be arriving on site right now. Where do some people like coasterboy come up with these things?

HAHAHAHA Alright coasterbruh, that is pretty damn funny the way you use those pictures

[coasterboy]

I know it as random but hey I was bored and i was just wonderin what if since we have to wait a couple of weeks for an official announcement. Nothing wrong with a little wild imagination
