General Carowinds discussion

I've been thinking about the whole Figure 8 thing that's been posted a few times. Could it be like Cheetah Hunt? I know it's an Intamin track, I know it's "the drop" and I know it is not a GIGA but...could it also be used for a turn around?

If this coaster is indeed 325ft tall, what do will think will be the best marketing angle for the general public?

Tallest Roller Coaster-Considering some say Super Man, Dragster.... are giant flat rides.

Tallest Traditional Coaster

Tallest First Drop

Tallest Non Launch Coaster

Tallest Lifthill

I personally would market it as tallest coaster and let enthusiast debate what constitutes a coaster. The GP won't care.

I don't think sky tower is even broken, they just don't want Wormy taking birds eye view pictures yet.

It's sad that people are complaining this much. It makes me want to scream and rip my hair out when I see someone say, “I hope it's a seasons pass parking lot! I can't believe they got rid of the old one!”

Just like I said in my Facebook response to that picture: There is nothing wrong with the current parking lot, a little extra walking never hurt anyone. I wish people would just appreciate all the work that Cedar Fair and the Carowinds staff is putting into the park.

...I apologize for my rant.
