About that ^. I have a legitimate theory.
In the article, the presenter trying to get the project through, specifically says that he "was under the impression that the palladium was the entrance". (presumably because, from above it looks like a large paved area). And he just simply applied the layout info he received from Cedar Fair to the image, slightly skewing the track's supposed layout. Therefore, making it slightly off center of where Cedar Fair told him it would be?...
So, isn't it entirely possible that he's using the palladium and relating it to the entrance? If so, that would mean, he is claiming it will go through the middle of the entrance (Ala,
Cedar Point). BUT..... They also have confirmed that they are planning on re-doing a new entrance, presumably starting it outward into the parking lot (which will be reorganized as well).
That would make the coaster go through the entrance, just like Cedar Point, and still keep it fully on the NC side.Also, add in the fact that it is well known that Carowinds is 100% getting a new entrance, and they have said they'd like to put a coaster at the front, just like Gatekeeper. This is a valid theory. Not saying it will or will not be a wing or Giga, or whatever, but this is a realistic possibility about where it will be placed.
