Nice find.
I wonder how many others will get lost navigating around the new interface looking for the park map.

[sccoasterbear]

But the map doesn't list section names, or even attraction names as of last time I looked.

According to this map they have put the fountain back in Vortex Plaza and opened up a walk way from the covered path to Vortex Plaza.

^It would be great if they did.

I hope this right also. It shows water under Goldrusher. And here is the State Line Sign.

It's also there in the 2016 map on the Carowinds App:

^Oh Well, it would have been nice.

So I'm considering going to the season's pass preview night and had a few questions.

Is the entire park open?

What are the hours?

Can you get your pass processed before the park opens?

Yes, the entire park is open although sometimes rides are not running at full capacity. This is an opportunity for employees, particularly new ones, to get some real experience before opening day.

I have an interesting theory about to where the Crossroads Gazebo is for the New Roots Bluegrass show. With White Water Falls removed, the pre-station seems to still be on the map. It's structure is quite gazebo-like and could be transformed into a stage:

Does anyone know for sure if the structure is in fact still there from the construction tour if you were able to see it from where folks were allowed?

Thanks for the reply regarding my last season pass question,

Have a few more, I ordered inline, when is the season pass processing center open? Can I come before the park opens?

Once we get our photo taken and we have our pass, do we just show the pass when we enter, or do we need to go to the processing center each visit? This is our first pass so we just want to make sure we get things taken care of and get as much info as possible! Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if they've said this year, but last year you could go early to get your pass processed. As for the second question, you get processed once, then they scan your pass at the gate every other visit.

I hope that building was saved, it is actually an original building to the park. Originally the Hillbilly Jalopies station, then became the entrance to Whietwater. However I didn't intent any construction tours, we will find out on the 24th/25th.

Several months ago I had asked about adding a path from the shade arbor to Vortex plaza because people were constantly trying to hop that fence and cut across the grass for a shortcut. Hopefully it's getting done this year so we don't have to watch that area anymore.

Well that answers my question from an earlier post. Indeed panda boy is taking the whole building. This looks wonderful.
