General Carowinds discussion

Trying to guess the coaster for this is kinda hard! I was thinking some type of GCI, but maybe that's too obvious. GCI has been building coasters in many other CF parks recently. So then I thought some type of launch coaster which would be needed and wanted. And then I thought again and said an RMC would be a wonderful addition to the park. It would be a nice intense coaster with plenty of airtime and would technically be a wooden coaster...TECHNICALLY. Either way I just hope we get a coaster that isn't B&M. I know this is gonna be a good year for Carowinds, and will definitely help the parkreach the 3 million goal.

I’m honestly shocked at how quickly construction is moving along.

What's in the shed????

So any rumored locations for Dodg’ems if it gets moved? I’m thinking that game area behind Ricochet in Carousel Park is where it gets moved. Any insiders have any information?

I thought there was a Funnel Cake stand in the way at that spot but that seems about right.

Now that is brilliant

EDIT: I’m referring to that idea for Dodgem’s placement

I don't think it would be wise to stuff another ride in the county fair. You don't want to oversaturate the area. It's plenty other areas in the park that could use a ride.

No one said Dodgems was getting moved. At least not for this project. I just said I’d heard it was a possibility from past discussions and speculated and Barbwire echoed that.

If it was in the plans to move it in the future, now would be as good as time as any while the area is under construction.

I agree, I'm trying to recall the press conference that took place just before Fury was built where Matt Oimet was quoted saying that even though it may not happen in his lifetime, Carowinds could become the "Cedar Point of the South"...
If this is true, would it be possible that CF could be looking at installing a "major" coaster in lieu of a somewhat smaller GCI? I dunno, I'm thinking that since we got the flats last year and the kids area this year, maybe the thought process is they see a lot of potential in Carowinds and are investing as such. It's anybody guess at this point.

^^If it's not in the way (which it isn't since it's open) but they still plan to move it, that can be done in the off season or after summer ops if need be. No need to close another ride that doesn't need to be.

Ummmmm...NO! Lightning never strikes twice in the same place, unless there is thunder heard down the road..
