Yeah even from way up top where the webcam is it looks beautiful. im really excited to see it in person now. Although I am a lil confused as to why the keep using the digger up by Gr8 Sk8...doesnt look like its really doing anything

It has to be really flat it cant have any lumps in it or it wont look right. I love the look of it but it usually starts getting warped after a few years it all just depends though.

The difference between the Braves and Verizon, is that you are not walking around in the hot sun all day and can easily sit through a game or concert with requiring a drink. You cant do that at carowinds, you have to get a drink or you will pass out from the heat. They basically have you over a barrel, and as far as water goes, your kids would laugh in your face if you suggested that. I'm not talking about dropping the price of all the food etc, just the bottle soda vending machines. Theres no sense in a 20 oz bottle of soda costing $2.50 more than the gas station beside the park.

Off-topic: Soda (not including diet) has "SUGAR" in it which makes you more thirsty. Water is actually the best thing for you to drink while you're at Carowinds in the hot sun. I've never had any problems going to the concession stand and getting free water. Go figure. I do like the water stations set up through the park idea though. If you don't like the hot sun, go in the Spring or Fall when it's cooler out. Problem fixed again. Oh and the reason Carowinds charges that much for a bottle of soda is because they know people are stupid enough to buy it. Eat before/after you go to the park. Sneak in a bottle of water/soda.

-Back on-topic now.

My experience has always been the diet drinks that make me more thirsty. Oh well.

I agree about water though.

how many laps do they need total for testing? maybe that is the big announcment. they have been testing pretty heavy last few days that the sun has been out.

[pb3176]

looking at the webcam it looks like there is aline of workers at the station and 2 trains look to not have water dummies in them. could they be letting the construction crew ride?

[atsprings]

I'm watching the webcam feed right now and I'm not certain, but it looks like they might actually have people on the ride today! There is clearly a lot of people on the stairs to the station. They are running three trains and only one of them has water dummies on it.

[jordN1414]

Definitely looks like people to me!

[macbeth]

I'll be going by carowinds tomorrow. I hope they will be testing! I won't be able to do video, but pictures are a possibility.

Imtimidator had 2 of the 3 trains outfitted with the new "lifelike" water mannequins on them...

[jasonwilson88]

It definitely looks like people are riding today, and to that I say... OMG I AM JEALOUS.

If we're all hallucinating, move along.

[mxpro]

Could it have been the construction crew? I think they always ride first right?

If you look at the web cam, right in beside the station there a big box what is that box?

The box in the red? If so, that is the Que Vending area. You can chck te ride renderings and see it.
