^You'd be surprised what doesn't look like an inversion from an overhead view.

I think the ADA compliance specifications would discourage that because then you'd need an entirely different way of getting up there.

ADA guidelines for a ramp/slope is simply to make sure the slope is inline with 1:12. ADA doesn't discourage anything, they just make sure everything is accessible.

Maybe there's the tie-in with the Cyclone.

No . . .

BREAKING: six flags magic mountain is announcing their 2019 additon(s) August 29th, the day before Carowinds announces theirs. This could very well be to over shadow Carowinds if they get something better than them like they did with Wonder Woman compared to railblazer.

They will be announcing a Mack launch coaster as well. So could be true.

You are basing this off of what?

Sorry I know I also posted recently about info I heard about our expansion from park staff, I didn't post any of that as fact or that I believed it, simply what I heard when asked.

In the case of this post, it was information that was passed on to me by someone that would know. (Man I hate saying that, cause I know you're all rolling your eyes)

You misunderstand my reference. I was simply stating that, from a building standpoint, that it would be easier to construct a ramp at the exit that could accommodate everyone than to build a staircase into the sky and then back down all the way to the ground again only to also have to also construct an elevator for ADA access.

I wasn't saying that the ADA would have any say over whether they built the stairs or not.

Playing around with the OOCL Shipping schedule, here are some upcoming shipments that originated in Waldkirch, Germany (where the Mack HQ is) and have a destination of Charlotte.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying these are 100% going to Carowinds, just an educated guess.

Nice! So its definitely possible a piece of track could be here for the announcement day

There are a ton of pipes on the webcam. Its hard to believe that they would all be for draining, does it hint a water feature?

Got it, and I agree.

The grey concrete pipes near the restroom are for stormwater drainage, yes. The "pipes" in the middle of the site are concrete forms for footings.

Ah thanks

[chknwing]

Any idea what they are building near the concrete pad?

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

The queue line.

[mdsmith98]

I figured the same thing, but those beams seem a little high for a queue line railing, unless for whatever reason they are choosing for it to be taller, rather than what we are accustomed to. Maybe they are putting a shaded structure in the queue line?

[RW_Fury325]

I would hope the queue would be shaded! The old location had a shaded queue as well.

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

It seems that the queue is the exact same as it was in the old location, just from the way it looks, could be wrong though.

[chknwing]

I don't know it seems a bit early to be building a queue line.
