If you could take out a ride, what would it be? Also, what kind or type of ride would you replace it with?

I would probaly take out Rip Roarin' Rapids because it sucks compared to the ones at Dollywood and other parks near us. I woudl probaly replace it with a brand new rapids ride, one that is extremly long, fast moving water, dips, and tons of water soaking features! :D

I wouldn't take out any other rides, hopefully they want take out Frenzoid becuas eI have never riden and will on my next trip, becausast time I was there, it was closed (I know most of you guys disaggree with me, but they better not take it out untill next season.) I still haven't been to Carowinds this season, hopefully I can go before school starts, it would probaly be on a Sunday, because I will not go on a Saturday.

I would like for Drop Zone to be taken out and replaced with a roto drop that is over 300 feet tall and goes like 80, but, that'll never happen. A roto-drop would accomadate more people too!

Probably White Water Falls or Rip Roarin Rapids. I'd don't think removing either of those would have a bad impact on the park.

Rip Roarin' Rapids

Every Time I ride this thing it's hardly a water ride at all, the only part of me that gets wet is from the knee down(sometimes a few drops will get to my back or somthing but that's rare) THEY NEED TO PUT THE TUNNEL BACK!! it was actually fun for me when it was in because i actually got wet!


Frenzoid: Keep it, i still haven't ridden it.

WWF: Keep it, It's really fun if you're in the front row.

My son loves RRR and my daughter loves WWF so they would be disappointed if any of those were removed. Frenzoid needs to go, and the mini golf. We went over to the park today to try to go to the water park. It was PACKED, so we left after a couple of times around the lazy river. I noticed that the mini golf place was littered with rubbish and looked like it has been neglected. I don't remember ever seeing anyone play it. I would never pay extra to do it, but we might consider it if it were included in the park entrance and the course was a lot more interesting. Surely there is something they could do with that space. The bumper cars are a classic I guess, but I think they are boring. I wouldn't miss those if they wanted use their space for something. I still say they need to bring back (a safer version of) White Lightnin'. The line for RRR is always long and it is very popular with families. I doubt they would remove it.

Rip Roaring Rapids and White Water Falls for me as well.

Replace them with whatever you want, just replace them. The Rapids could be replaced with better Rapids, but that's not very likely.

Frenzoid....eh, it can stay at the park but it needs to be relocated to a location that does not take up so much prime building grounds.

If Frenzoid, WWF, and the Putt-Putt were gone, there could be a whole new land added, especially if the Bumper Cars left too. <_< :lol: :P
Maybe an Adventure Area like Congo with a Tomb Raider Ride like PKI.

RRR needs to be upgreated to a better one. Mini Golf can go aand just think we could put two more flats in that area. WWF can stay or build a bigger fall. Keep Frenzoid but please do relocate it they could but I nice size coaster in that spot.

I agree with Coastermom. RRR should stay. This is one of the longest raft rides in the US and also the longest lasting ride in the park. What needs to be changed on that ride is the loading station. They should replace the dated single line loading ramp to the turntable style like PKI and many other parks use. It greatly increases capacity.

I say take out the Skycoaster and replace it with a <a href='http://www.gravityworks.com/va_sky.html' target='_blank'>Skyscaper</a>. Incredibly fun ride!

Buy some new land and put a updated RRR in it. <a href='http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery2747.htm' target='_blank'>And then where it was put in a big one of these! Clicky clicky!</a> Seriously, rumor has it they can put inversions in these things, or at least, I think I heard that somewhere.

I agree with Swampie, taer down the Skycoaster. And while they're at it, relocate FSS into WaterWorks. It just seems so out of place where its at now. Take out the mini golf and put it there. It'd be nice to walk through that area and not get wet.

Tear down Frenzoid and add a huge Huss Top Spin that straddles the pond. By huge I mean like the top spin for Tomb Raider.

I would agree with you swamp, but there is no way that i'm going to pay $20-30 to ride a two minute ride!



I agree with Top Gun though, those thing look cool!

Remove Skycoaster, install a new coaster, remove Frenzoid, install new water slide complex, remove BORG(j/k). Remove drop zone, add flat rides.
