After 2015? As in, the coast is likely for 2016?


Chris, next season would be considered 2014. Meaning, the Skycoaster will come down at the end of 2014. Coaster is on for 2015.

The big arch where you are suspended and dropped like a human swing....

Oh well i better ride it before they get rid of it


Its nothing special, imo.
Its fun, but many parks have it and its a pay attraction.

You wouldn't be missing out on much.

So, SkyCoaster's leaving, but Hurler, Go Karts, and possibly the Palladium are staying? Sounds Good to me.

And what's the source of this info, I'm not doubting it, but I'd like to read it. :)

Scroll up about 11 posts. Jonathan posted this news from C3. This was obviously information that was revealed at the 1pm Q&A session in the Carowinds Theater by some park official.

Thats pretty sad. i mean im glad they are getting rid of that thing so they can stop robbing people of their money. i mean 15 bucks? cmon

That's a bummer, I tried the skycoaster for the first time last year finally because I could never find anyone with the balls to ride it. It looks like I better ride it one last time next season. I still think the skycoaster should be relocated instead of removed but that's just my opinion.

On the other hand, it is being replaced by a giga coaster. (maybe a giga-wing coaster :lol: )

I know I am hard of hearing, but I thought they said that the sky coaster is getting 'moved' and not 'removed.' Now that I hear the report of it being removed, I'm wondering if I heard it incorrectly. That was also at the exact time where the PR manager told the speaker to shush as he was divulging too much info.

I thought he said MOVED as well, but I couldn't really tell either... Julie stopped him pretty quick and I forgot to ask you guys if he said MOVED or REMOVED. My friend said removed, but I don't know. Either way, at least they wont remove a coaster to add a new one. I am at least hoping if its getting REMOVED they discount it, heavily, next year... I will have to ride it at least one more time before it goes... :D
