Agreed on getting a Hyper.

I was reading in another thead about construction else in the park and bgwfreak stated " I was there yesterday and yes there is a large crane over by the rapids, but the rapids was closed. So I'm assuming they are removing boats for whatever reason." But if I remember there is a pulley design to remove the boats. So my question why do they have a large crane? I'm going to the park on Monday. I'll see what all is going on and get some pictures.

This IS the park

Ok...could people be hacking the Carowinds website to mess with us? I mean an actual Carowinds Thrill Ride page for Hypersonic? I mean it is on the page and everything. If not, is it an old idea that never happened and is just laying stagnate on the page? Are we getting two coasters in the newly cleared area (one being our new hyper and the other being XLC? I am curious why that page is there!

Thats a very good question. At first that's what I thought we were getting and I posted a Thread at the time they were clearing the lot and I thought it would fit in the area, and with the big footer for the tower thats what I thought. Beats me.

All of the old Paramount Park pages are really messed up coding wise, it's not hard to see how Hypersonic could accidentally appear on our website.

The construction going on at Carowinds is 100% NOT for Hypersonic... it's a gigantic site with footer markings ranging the entire length of the park.

I know why it's there, i'll spill the beans monday if no one gets it. it's probably not why you think.

[jasonwilson88]

^ Why not just bust his bubble now? We are NOT getting Hypersonic. Look at the area marked for construction!

Btw, It scares me about this XLC and white lighting launch coaster thing. Could we be getting a new coaster and a headache too

oh, fine, now is as good a time as any, was just trying to stir things up a bit.

i was looking at the attraction page's source code, and realized that all the attractions use a very similar structure across all three parks websites. carowinods attraction IDs start low, and keep getting higher, so i just changed the attraction ID a the end of the URL. keep going up from attraction ID 99 and you'll get many other KD rides to show up on carowinds sites. looks like the former paramounts servers share alot of their scripting on a central server. so when you request the attraction id of 99 for XLC the carowinds server sends that request out to another server asking what attraction id that is, and the server fills that request with the XLC data. however the carowinds server knows that it should be filling in the top and bottom pictures from it's local website, tha's why you get the carowinds toolbars. that's also why you don't get the picture of XLC on the right hand side of the page, because carowinds.com doesn have http://www.carowinds.com/images/attract ... nic_lg.jpg stored on their servers. in fact, if you to to http://www.kingsdominion.com/attraction ... m?ai_id=99 you will see XLC still listed on the website.

i went all the way from attraction ID 1 to 620 something before i started getting blank results. i was hoping there might be ride data on the site that just wasn't linked to yet.

if you want to mess with our friends to the north, post this somewhere on a forum http://www.canadaswonderland.com/attrac ... m?ai_id=99

^Whats funny is I did the same thing trying to confirm diamondback's name. You can find just about any ride from the old paramount parks at any of the other parks. I found Dominator on KI's website doing the same thing. The other site that people have posted that is underconstruction seems to be pretty legit. If the name isnt White Lightening I will be extremely surprised.

Taken from my cell so you can hear the "racing" sounds that come every minute or so.

Sounds more like someone with an upset stomach to me.

[carorush09]
