I know man we are all there, I am sitting here bored as heck with nothing to do....imagination takes over everyday :wink: no worries.


OK, this is what has changed in 20 years. When I was home from school, I wasn't bored and on the message boards. I was out riding my bike, playing basketball with the neighbors, etc....Now you have computers, video games galore, and you guys have time to be bored??? :?: :?: :?:

:lol: I hear you man. I would go out take update pics but I live two hours away unfortunately. Too far of a drive just for that.

I think the drill thingy is a well digger or something... that wouldn't make sense, though because you'd think (if they had a water fountain in the que line) it would be from the main water system that goes around carowinds, not from a well.


It's an auger used to drill the holes for the footers,KD is using the same type of piece of equipment to drill their footers as well.Don't be suprised if this turns out to be an intamin & not a B&M because nowhere has it been confirmed to be a B&M ride other than on the various forums but intamin rides are just as good.

The fact that this ride is going to be B&M is the most obvious thing in 'Coaster World' right now...


And what evidence do we have that points toward an Intamin and not a B&M?

The top of the lift hill piece has arrived at Kings Dominion. It's the worst kept secret that Carowinds is getting a B&M hyper. I'm not sure if I would rather have that or an Intamin Giga. Either one would be great though.

I agree, furthermore no one has confirmed that it is a hyper either. I know several people on here have friends in high places, those are also the people that either won't talk or won't have friends in high places long. A roller coaster is a roller coaster, I am happy as long as the park stays open.
