Before the County Fair(and Thunder Road), the C&C Railroad was there and the Short Line Railroad(Snoopy's Junction). Bumper Cars are original to the County Fair.

Me too, hopefully we still get the European Wave Swinger next year.

Yea we're getting I think I saw the center device that lifts the swings up and a bunch of chains. The only flat missing is the breakdance. I hope the #voteFourmore hashtag doesn't mean we're only getting the four flats vs getting four more added attraction along with the five flats. I'll stay optimistic to the latter.

The mayor has been a walk around character since 2014 atleast. Granny and the young lady in the dress showed up at the same time. Deputy Danger is new to me this year. Originally I mainly seen them around Harmony Hall but as of my visit this Carowinds had an opening routine involving them. Is it possible the whole vote four more is just being used to see if the visitors like the characters?
Of course while tying them into the teasers....

It's almost certainly both, which is why they are emphasizing it so much with the hash tags and everything. There would not be so much of a focus on the slogan if it didn't have a deeper meaning.

I worked a double today so it's possible that I may have seen you at some point. I was at Scrambler, Vortex, and Slingshot all day.
