At this point, the story will air on NBC Nightly News on THURSDAY.
Is this NBC Charlotte local news for WCNC or the national news? NBC does have a Charlotte bureau that produces and coordinates national stories for the network.
My experience in being a life time news junkie, they will send a national crew to cover the opening of the tallest in the world. It will be the light and fluffy story they will close the newscast with. The lead in will go something like this.....
"As things go, it was only a matter of time before a new record breaking roller coaster debuts at a amusement park just in time for spring break. Carowinds on the North/South Carolina boarder is taking the warps off the tallest Giga Coaster on the planet. For you non coaster fanatics, a giga caster is a coaster that is over 300 feet tall. Fury325 tops out at 325 feet. Our Sam Smith went down to give it a spin."
