Nice find!

Here is a comparison with the plans and google maps so people can compare. Looks like carowinds is pulling a SFoG Goliath and sending the ride out of the park...

It doesn't show the amphitheater, but it also doesn't show the brand new Grove, so I wouldn't read into that.

Since we're reading into things, will the ride be 1832 feet long? Lookout Mountain (in Jarsh's hint post) is 1832 feet high, but I don't see this being that high ;-P.

I didn't see any info about the front gate, but they're totally moving the toll plaza out, and changing the way you enter the main gate, as well as doing some work to the bus/RV parking.

Oh, and there's a partial layout of the coaster's footings.

Edwardo wrote:I meant to say 1850 but copied the wrong number (and it was in feet).

And I was just kidding, since he put lookout mountain in there, I wikied it.



But 1850 in meters is 6070 feet..... for it to claim title of longest coaster in North America it would have to beat Millenium Force at 6,595 ft...
