actually, thats prolly your best yet

also I have a question. Whats missing from this picture?

There are no fences. Theres no way they leave this not fenced off. so along the parking lot as well as the walking paths will have to be fences. Paints a much different picture imo.

decorative?

also has anyone else notice in that render that every car in the parking lot has what appears to be an "M" on every windshield? weird

By Law, at least I would think so, the park would have no choice but to fence off the area to protect wandering guests who try to get "close-up shots" of the coaster. I would expect a decorative fence for the main walkways, and a black fence like the one near Intimidator for the rest of the coaster.
Also, the renderings were not exact as to what we'll see in the future. The coaster layout will still be the same I'm sure of it. But the rendering's main focus was on the coaster, not the scenery. For sake of time and money, some things were purposely left out of the model. Also, the entrance is still "concept" but what we see in the model is basically what they have in mind, so again, not everything is exact in the rendering.

Hope this helped :) now off to college.

I would rather see the supports be grey, black or purple. But maybe the white will look nice, although white is more subject to show rust, dirt, and mildew. Plus purple would be more in line with the Charlotte Hornets, although there is no official association.

As far as fences go, I would think they'll have to put some major protection up on the sides of the pedestrian overpass. I can just imagine some idiot thinking it would be smart to try and jump off of it onto the track.

Man, all you folks always seem to assume the worst about people haha. First people are going to be running around murdering each other if they remove the metal detectors and now they're going to be hurling themselves onto the track of Fury.

I wish I had a better picture, but here's the bridge over Griffon at Busch Gardens:

If the fencing and overall look of the new bridge ends up as nice a Griffon then Carowinds will have a nice setup. I would also expect drop screens for lack of a better word for them mounted to the track routed over the new entrance paths like Griffon and Alpengist at Busch Gardens.
