Sorry to be off topic but there were several questions about what I'll be doing in merchandise.

I don't know at this point, but orientation is Saturday.

Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

I went to the park today and saw a large container in the front plaza. The side of it said "Do not open until Spring 2010" and "IZ12ENUFF". Could this be refering to the number of cars for the coaster?

Do you mean IZ12ENUFF=Is 12 Enough

[FUBAR]

the speed of the train won't tell us much unless we know the legnth and angle of descent.

Did you say angle of descent?!?!

I bet poor newton is rolling over in his grave right now. the angle of descent doesnt really have much to do with the distance in height an object falls...

When friction is involved number of hills and legnth are important, angle well help determine the legnth of track. but you're right, 5-10 degrees isn't going to make a big diffrence.

IZ12Enuff = is 12 enough it seems... if this is going to break a record then it sounds like its aiming at inversions

IZ12Enuff is clearly referring to the 12 coasters currently in the park. I'm not even sure why it's still even being debated.

17 day's can not get here fast enough!

[JShafer]

This is a far out guess .... but the fastest ride to date is 120mph .... maybe 12 is short for 120 and its gonna be 120+ mph? ... I know its stretched and not likely, but hey, can't rule anything out.

Edit:

Nevermind, forgot about Kingda Ka, which is 128 ....

Can anybody save the facebook video because I do not have an account nor do I wish to create one.

FYI the teaser video on Facebook is the same one that was playing during the Coaster Stock lunch last month. This has not stopped me from re-watching it 6 times already, despite it playing on a loop for well over an hour while we were there.

From Cedar Point's Twitter page:

"I prefer my lunch TOGO...especially when there's lightning around."

Hello....elephant in the room.....I wonder if anyone is going to address this Someone please humor me...wtf does Togo have to do with anything. Maybe they will come forward that we are getting shockwave instead of a new coaster? In that case "history making" would be "breaking news: mass harakiri amongst Carolina coaster enthusiast"

[charlotteguy02]

So a guy that I know that works at the park told me Carowinds is building a HUGE new coaster for next year. So I went to the park to check it out and the log flume is gone! Anyone know who the manufacturer might be? Oh, and there is a big plot of land in the parking lot fenced off...smells like an Intamin rocket coaster to me - maybe even bigger than the skytower!

curiosity, I wonder if Thunder Road could be getting a name change, they been working on it for sometime, if they paint it white they could name it White Lightning and then use the name Thunder Road for the new coaster which would tie into the racing theme better.
