I bet we can also rule out any teal, orange, or red track.....

All of the Rome stuff could be pointing towards Centurion. Could they be trying to throw us off like they did with White Lightning? Or am I reading into that a little too much?

Sounds like they are going ahead with the Centurion name based on that "Rome" comment.

I don't think the "8th wonder" is hinting anything about the ride based on things we already know I just don't see anything that fits. I think Chris said it well, you wouldn't want to market it as the 8th best.

So, if this could be the 8th wonder. What are the previous 7? I really can't find a set list of the 7 wonders. I've found several lists, each with different things. Great Wall, Stonehenge, etc. I want to think that banner is going to be tied to the name of the ride.

Is there any way Centurion could be considered an 8th wonder? Ummmm, I don't see it. That could discount the link between that name and that banner.

Well the roman colosseum happens to be one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world so it could be quite possible that the name of the new coaster is Centurion. Hmm very interesting...

Weird how I pointed out Rome and the roman coliseum, I'm going for the name Centurion but I'm on the fence on whether or not its a B&M Giga or an Intamin Giga. I personally don't care but I do think it would be cool to have an Intamin coaster in the park.

Rougarou might just be the names of a new haunt. Kings Island and Cedar Point are both in the middle of building new structures for an indoor haunt. At KI next to the Beast, and at CP next to Gatekeeper. Remember Fury was trademarked before it became a Cedar Fair haunt (not sure if the one at Carowinds is the only "Fury" maze).

Also Knott's is building what appears to be a new dark ride in their former Kingdom of Dinosaurs (or something like that) building. And Cedar Point has been teasing their 2015 attraction since Christmas. Elsewhere in the chain, Valleyfair has some new stakes in the ground near their water park. Just pointing out that there are three new trademarks not yet in use, counting the suspended Centurion, and at least six notable construction projects going on across the chain right now.

My two cents
Rougarou = new haunt mazes across Cedar Fair, starting at KI, CP, and here maybe? (replacing Asylum or SSC)
Fury 325 I have no idea. Iv'e been thinking it is the backup name if they don't use the suspended Centurion for our new giga monster.

One question, have they used the "Amusement Dark" trademark yet?

Yep. I know for a fact that the park has seen all the sketches that have been posted on this site. They very well could be making those comments to let us get into our own heads, lol!

I doubt the Plantation House is going to be used for any other purpose than it's current one. I also doubt the Plantation House will see much if any change....I do believe that $4 million has been spent.

The track record of Carowinds says that is exactly what they are doing. Good call.

Like that has ever happened before!

Hopefully they will follow their pattern of announcing in August.

[Jarsh]

Late August to be exact.

Usualky parallels season pass sales, gives us all summer to speculate.

I'm not even living NEAR Carowinds now. But as an NC native, I grew up going there and to SFoG. Kings Island or Kentucky Kingdom are my home parks now. I'm still just in shock and trying to process in my mind that Carowinds is getting a Giga coaster most likely from B&M. That's just insane to me! I really really hope it's NOT Intamin though. I don't think I305 is an attractive coaster at all IMHO. MF as Cedar Point is, but I can't explain it - I've just never liked the looks of I305. I mean, it doesn't even have any camel backs after the first drop. It's like the only big drop you get is the first drop, and the rest of the ride you're almost at ground level - granted it's super fast and curvy, but no big drops after the first. I HATE that about 1305. I know it's not likely, but if it does happen to be Intamin, I hope it looks more like MF than I305

As for the official announcement I think it could be done in early August. Last year Banshee was announced on Aug. 8 and two years ago Gatekeeper was announced on the 13th. So I do think it is likely that an announcement could come earlier then we think.
