im calling bs in that site...with as much talk lately about the website link and now its apparently purchased with a generic picture and the name cedar fair on it...that is completely out of the norm...

No one had to purchase it. It is on the Carowinds website.

I agree. That's definitely a trick. Consider what we know:

1. Carowinds' marketing department is all over this site. (Hi Dani!)
2. A few pages back, several people went on and on over how that particular website was or wasn't registered.

Good play, though.

this link is on the carowinds site??? http://www.whitelightning.carowinds.com/

No one had to purchase it. It is on the Carowinds website.

Where?

[Jonathan]

The link TO that page isn't on there, but that page is hosted on the Carowinds site. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are confused about.

I think he means it is part of the Carowinds domain, therefore Carowinds did not have to "purchase" it.

I think it's real. Why wouldn't it be? The site has clearly been registered and is under construction. Remember the white lightning picture that was leaked? The crate also says "lightning really does strike twice." Everything points to White Lightning as being the name of the new ride.

[Jonathan]

Right. Everyone can come to their own conclusions, but there are only two possibilities remaining:

-The ride is White Lightning
-This is all one huge elaborate hoax on the part of Cedar Fair to fool a couple hundred people reading a message board

I know what sounds the most reasonable to me...

so the host for that site is carowinds? This is making my brain hurt...

[Jonathan]

It is part of the Carowinds website. Look at the URL. whitelightning.CAROWINDS.COM.

A website can have as many subdomains as the owner wants. For example, I could make whitelightning.carowindsconnection.com if I wanted.

Do it! Do it! No, just kidding.

It is part of the Carowinds website. Look at the URL. whitelightning.CAROWINDS.COM.

A website can have as many subdomains as the owner wants. For example, I could make whitelightning.carowindsconnection.com if I wanted.

so I couldnt just make a site called jarvis.carowinds.com and host it on my own host?

[b&mcoaster1095]

^ What?! You OWN Carowinds.com?

[Jonathan]

^^Correct.
