Hypothetically if they did use the name "white lightnin", would the file a trademark for that? Or no because that is common like cyclone, boomerang, ect.

Has anyone been to Carowinds recently? And if so, any updates on the construction near Hurler?

Why the hell am I working so hard if no one sees it?

Oops, sorry. And I saw those earlier! Why did I even ask that question? I'm an idiot. Anywho, I drew this up just now. This is the Carowinds skyline if the giga were to be themed as White Lightning. Tell me what you think. I think that Carowinds would look great with a large white coaster in the background!

Oh wow that's beautiful! I think WHITE would be GREAT! May I have permission to add this pic to my facebook timeline?

I putting my money down on the teal track being for carowinds. The white and orange track are dive coasters headed to Europe, the yellow is a Flyer headed for China.





the name Fury is growing on me but I think it needs to be tweaked. Maybe Carolina Fury? yeah I know, sounds like a minor league rugby team or something. I just dont think Cedar Fair would rip off a Ride name from another park I mean just to the south at BG they just opened Falcons Fury. CF wants this to be the premium park of the south with this ride being the feather in its cap, I doubt they cop a ride name from another park

Has anyone been to Carowinds recently? And if so, any updates on the construction near Hurler? A few pages ago, someone mentioned seeing a truck hauling re barb wire to the site. I am wondering if construction on the footers has started.

I posted a picture a couple days ago of what appeared to be a footer in the lot where the Go Karts used to be, but I think the the footers were remains of the go kart

A teal coaster would coincide with the NBA Hornets returning to Charlotte.

Just the way the track looks is similar to Leviathan's, in terms of the overall size. Look how small the rails are compared to the bottom part of the track:

Now look at Leviathan's track:

I might be wrong though, but I just wanted to compare the photos.

Please do! I love that picture. It took me 40 minutes to paint, but I hope that will be what the new coaster looks like. So please, post this photo wherever you wish.

That is what I will assume, seeing as in the older days of that ride, it was used a lot (though I'm not old enough to know about the old days of Carowinds). So the roadway would need footers to support it.

The footer in question was for the lighting used around the go kart track.

Oh, Okay. Anyway, I expect work on the footers to begin sometime in July. the first half of the work on footers can be done now, then in the off season as the front gate gets reworked, the other half of the footers can go in. At least that's what I expect to be done. It's not like they can shut down that road at the moment just to place footers. The park will need to be closed for that to happen. But then again, we really don't know how they will construct everything.

Here is another concept from another angle. I was bored...

If it's going to coincide with the return of the Hornets, why not make it purple? It's more interesting than white, and doesn't look exactly like Leviathan...

teal track, the supports may be white, and the train could be purple

[redrunner97]

Looks like there is purple and teal, or maybe the purple is something else that's not track? I can't tell. Plus I'm color-blind, so that doesn't help.

Here is another version of it.
