On lunch and clicked on the cam to see what has been done today and suddenly a train came flying by! Didn't know they had started testing earlier in the day.

Here it is from the South Carolina code...

thence N. 2° 121/2' E. eight miles to a gum tree on the southeastern corner of the Catawba Indian Reservation as laid out in 1764; thence following the eastern and northern boundary lines of said Catawba Indian Reservation to where such northern boundary line crosses the thread of the Catawba River

So, we can blame the Catawba Indians for their property not being straight.

^ that's crazy.... where's that gum tree now??

^^ seeing more tests... and it's starting to rain there.

I know i happened to click on it and the train was just getting over the top of the lift! Its crazy to watch it on the camera and see it in person.

Any reason why they State Line is BENT in the main path leading in to the Plaza ??

Accurate or not I think it looks bad. I wish they would have stopped with the line before it turns and centered the walkway between Fury's supports.

I doubt you'll notice the bend as much from the ground. It could always be worse, Cedar Fair could have just never invested 50 million into the park and left it the way it was at the end of the 2013 season.

Looks like full testing mode. Pouring rain and the trains just keep on coming.

Personally, I think it looks fine. And on the ground I doubt anyone will even notice it.

They haven't done all this to be nice to us.
Cedar Fair has made this investment in Carowinds to make more money for their company.
We don't have to be grateful for their investment in the park. They should invest in all their parks.That's normal business.
What we should be grateful for is all the extra stuff they've done for us like the webcams, hosting Winter Warm Up, and behind the scenes coverage of everything.
They have gone above and beyond on things like that.

I get where you are coming from. I too like things to be symmetrical, centered, even, and proportionate. Its my own personal bit of OCD that comes out in me. But I have to disagree with you a bit. To me it shows an immersing attention to detail from which the park some previous owners have seemed to somehow lack. By following the actual state lines not only gives the park more validity, shall we say, but clearly displays the true character not only of Carowinds but of both Carolinas. Again paying homeage to our original Founder's vision. The winds that cross the Carolinas. And as mentioned earlier the park is looking to become more photogenic;; by having not one but two distinct paths to the entrance plaza, each with its share a photo moments...and Im sure some photobombs. The one path is all about FURY while the other is about that special two-states-at-once. And not to mention would it not be kind of boring to look at just one straight line through the park....add a curve or a bend....make it exciting.

I wonder if they'd have one for the lift hill. But, it sounds really good so far!

[offtopic]Twitter has stopped working for me on my computer, but works fine at the college on one of their computers. This is what I am seeing on my computer whenever I load Twitter:

And it goes on and on down the page. I can't log in here and (if I hadn't logged out) it won't let me log out. I can literally do nothing. I think it's just my computer (like a certain setting or maybe even a virus).
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Sometimes even Facebook decides to not load on my computer.[/offtopic]

I don't mean to derail the train a little, but do any of you have any idea how I can fix this problem?
Thanks in advance
