Picture giant Golden Supports, holding up the white track with the trains gold and black, themed like Chariots if the Centurion rumors are true.

I think it would look fantastic.

I think it looks great! I could really see this in the Carowinds skyline. I would paint the trains like imperial gold. Intimidator's trains are black already so the gold trains would look seperate from Intimidator.

Also, I made a logo for the ride. I know most of you won't like it because I use MS Paint for everything but here it is:

Could we not have watermarks put on all our photos that are uploaded? Or would this be more of a pain?

In all fairness...what if the same person who posted it on here is also the person who emailed it to him?

From CF 3rd quarter results...

"We are a company that has been known for innovative, new attractions and we will continue to deliver on these expectations as we head into next year," continued Ouimet. "In 2014 we will launch Banshee, the longest inverted coaster in the world at Kings Island. We will also introduce the first edition of our Amusement Dark portfolio - Guardian of Wonder Mountain at Canada's Wonderland. This innovative new ride combines a coaster track with an interactive digital gaming system. The longest interactive screen in the world provides a compelling adventure in search of the dragon's gold and, as Halloween approaches, the adventure changes as zombies make their presence known. These are just two examples of the next generation of FUN's innovation. "


This could shed some light on what is in store for Carowinds. My take away from this is that if they are building us a Giga, then it will likely break some sort of a record, (likely world, in keeping with the characteristics of the announced 2014 attractions). This sort of thing makes great fodder for quarterly reports. Also there will be more Wonderland type dark rides in store. This could be in our future as well.

Don't get your hopes up too much. We know it won't be the tallest in the world. And at over 8100 feet, I don't see it taking over Steel Dragon as longest, especially since I don't see how they'd put a coaster that long where they're putting it.

Longest, tallest, fastest B&M Giga in the southeast, probably.

Tallest rollercoaster with a lift in North America (If the coaster is really 315 feet tall). Steel Dragon is currently the record holder for tallest rollercoaster wtih a lift in the world (318). Unless Carowinds is planning to go higher at the last minute :wink:
I drew up some trains that I think would fit the Centurion theme. Now I know that this picture looks like a bunch of "Mr. Potato Heads" drinking urine out of a long black straw. They are supposed to look like seats. The front is supposed to be like a shield. Here is the picture:

If you have nothing nice to say about my pictures, do not say anything at all. You know who you are (chknwing) :P
