I was just thinking, The county fair isnt really fair-ish to me. The only thing that U feel is there that reminds me of a county fair is the bumper cars. I think they shiould take out half the game and add 2 more flat rides. Not anything like the giant flats but in the place where flight school was they can perhaps put a huss jump (the original one), or a breakdance. And they can add a trioka (i think thats what they are called once they get rid of some games. I think that will give it more of a count fair feel. And of course string up some of those lights around the area kinda like what disney did to dinoland USA. What do you think??

I'll agree with you.
Games, games, games everywhere. Some games should be in a County Fair section but not as many as they have. They can also remove the remote control cars that are there by the Action Theater (I think they are still there)
The rides like Ricochet, Kaleidoscope, and Scream Weaver belong in the County Fair section. I never understood why Ricochet was put in the Carolina Boardwalk section.
Also there should be an eatery or two that sells fresh made popcorn, cotton candy, candy apples, hot dogs, hamburgers, elephant ears, etc. That would give that section the aroma of a "fair".
As far as the lights go I can see that. The only problem is there is just not enough night time hours the park is open to fully enjoy them.

I agree, however, my view of The County Fair is without Frenzoid and its pond. A Trokia where the games are, the Wave Swinger in its position, the Wild Bull put where Peace Frogs(Attitudes) is, and A Chaos and Wipeout! where Frenzoid is. Any games in the area should transportable, and changed out every year like a Games Rotation Program.

I can thing of at least 3 flats that have been removed from the County Fair section since the 90's. And sadly, no new flats have come in to replace them. I'd love to see really cool flatrides in that area as well. The pond in front of Frenzoid would make a good spot for something as well as the old Flight School area. The whole area needs to be revamped. Game profits, on the other hand, effect the bottom line profits. Parks make a killing on them.

I think the Frenzoid should be taken out and a new inverter ship installed in a different position that would allow 2 flats to fit comfortably where Frenzoid and the lake are now. As it is now, the new flat would obstruct the view of Frenzoid from the pathway. Also, frenzoid is starting to show its age. We need a newer, nicer inverter ship like Pheonix at BGT. Also the FX Theater should have been put in Waynes World in the first place. A flat there would stress the "County Fair" theme better. Also, the station for the B&M floorless in the parking lot could be put there. ;)

The FX Theater was introduced to the park before Wayne's World was built. The theater opened in 93 while Wayne's World opened to the public in 1994.

And why in the world would Carowinds invest in buying a new ship? That would be a waste of money when they could put it toward your B&M Forceless Floorless Coaster.

I would move Frenzoid over to Carolina Boardwalk and rename it Blackbeard's Revenge, and then that entire area would be free for something new.

I'd like to see the County Fair become much more like DW's Country Fair. All the buildings should be painted Red, White, and Blue, and like coasterbruh said, lights should be hanging around everything. All the employees would be costumed as well.

I would also put all the games out around the midway edges, instead of sticking them out in the center of the midway. The rides would go into the center. (And the games wouldn't be so in-your-face)

As for rides, I'd add a Toika, a Chaos, another Wave Swinger(or Yo-Yo), and a Frisbee. Maybe a Tilt-a-Whirl or Trabant too, since those are always at fairs. (Might be a capacity issue though)

Carowinds does need a Ferris Wheel...

Yes, the nearest Ferris Wheel to me is actually in the parking lot of the Rock Hill Galleria, but the nearest PERMANENT and GOOD Ferris Wheel is at Family Kingdom in MB. And the Wild Bull needs to be integrated into that area again.

Yea a Ferris Wheel, nothing is more like a fair than a Ferris Wheel. Tilt-a-whirl would be cool too.
