I wonder how the station would look. I'd love to see a roman temple kind of station.

My other thought is if the gate is being redone etc, this coaster being name Centurion and at the gate, a centry is basically a guard, Protector of Carowinds Entrance etc.. makes sense. same as gatekeeper

^Very interesting idea. I could definitely see that happening.

Yes, this Centurion/Gatekeeper, front gate theory sounds plausible. The new giga coaster will definitely be a major front of the park attraction.

There is also another Cedar Point connection to the word. Centurion is sometimes used to describe 100 or a century. As millennium is 1000 years. Centurion Force?

I really like Centurion. Pronounced "Century-anne".

I could definitely see that as the name for the new coaster, especially considering its NC plane connection. Or the whole gaurdian of the gate theme. Either way, I think we're in store for a great new thrill ride.

So if the name is true, I guess this is Ouimet's idea of a "front gate statement"? And unless the park tears down a few things, it seems kind of hard to make it to the front gate.

If the track and trains are 50 feet wide, sure.

Back to the Centurion thing... I do like the idea, Its catchy.... BTW, did anyone else look at all the names CF has trademarked?? It appears that the whole "key chain" listing is a catch-all for their projects. Only time will tell what we end up with..

[KingHippo1]

They should trademark keymaster, Heightnawk, Timmy SR., and hieroglyphic.

[tarheel1231]

^You mean Timmy Jr. right? Intimidator is based off of Dale Earnhardt Sr. I doubt the park would trademark for another nascar name, especially one based off of Dale Earnhardt or his son.

Good to see Lance continuing to steal from us and not giving credit. Just link to us, jeez.

And also I have it on good authority that the Skycoaster is completely dissasembled and sitting in the nearby parking lot in pieces. They took it down very quick, I wonder how long it will take to put back up.

If it took a week to take down, it's probably only double the time they have to put it back up. I imagine putting up a ride or coaster is much more difficult than taking it down. The park still has to deal with survey markers and all that.
