Today I got to go to the park for photos for a story on
ThrillNetwork.
Anyway, here's a few highlights and you can also check out all 100 photos
here.
Dani was nice enough to let me in the park, and to my shock she says "Get in your car, we're driving through the park". I was like, uh, ok. So add that to my list of amusement park related things I've done, I've driven through Carowinds in my car! Any who, here's the famous bridge at the front of the park, *must restrain self from using "hyper under the bridge" as a joke!* Oh heck, I just did.
The storage shed is about the same as last time I was out there.
Dirt! The station kind of came to a halt as well, since the track work has been flying along. They only have 3 pieces left and she's done!
Sexy curves.
Hmmmm....I think it's a B&M!!!
That's all they've got left to finish.
Feel my eyes, I've got double vision.
Nope, this isn't the final piece, third to the last. Dani said they have 2 more on the way, set to arrive 12/18. I can't think of a better Christmas present!
Hello Mr. Builder Dude. Wait, I've got clearance! Don't call security!
Reminds me of a big blue coaster up in Ohio with the track going straight up out of the station like that.
Helix get close enough to the ground for ya?
Hard to get the whole thing in there, guess it's cause it dives through the bathrooms.
Did I mention I got to DRIVE through Carowinds?
Don't worry little track piece, you will soon join the rest! Don't cry! You'll rust!
Spiraly.
Dani says: "It's freakin' cold out here! Will you coaster geeks hurry up already?!?" Actually she would never say that, she's too nice. But you know she was probably thinking it. I better hush or she will be ban me from media day.
The last section to be installed, from the other side.
Curvy. Yeah, we see ya Beetle.
The angles are weird on this coaster. Some places it looks gigantic, some place it looks only as tall as Afterburn.
Speaking of Afterburn, I'm hearing he's been seen going to a therapist these days. Inferiority complex or something.
Sideways lately?
No, don't call security! I've got clearance!
I think they need to get a little closer to the ground.
You're gonna fly into the midcourse.
Winterfest, I miss thee.
The heavens open, and an approving sunbeam shows on our hero.
Here a trim...
There a trim.
Where is Wall-E when you need him.
A thing of beauty.
The mall provides a great place to take pics.
What strange torture device is this?
I'm goin' ghost! Yeah buddy, we know.
Thanks for reading.
