Yea, we found out during the bonus round. I loved Dani's reaction when she asked what Biscuits on a Cold Plate meant, lol.

I'm not asking, and probably don't wanna know. lol

And thanks, we got lucky a few times especially with our Dodonpa question.

My Top After Gun Burn wheel is happy in its new home. My cousin thought it was a toilet seat. :lol:

We were talking about park history and I had mentioned Sound Circus, and we couldn't think of a name for the group. I suggested we use Sound Circus, since it was related to the park and that some of the old timers would recognize it.

Good team effort on that win. I am glad to have won a TopBurn wheel, although what I'm gonna do with it I haven't a clue.

Yeah, not sure how we pulled out Dodonpa. That was the only fast foreign ride I could think of at the time, and when Wes said it too I figured maybe that was it. Luckily, it was!

- There are way too many pictures to post. However , I have construction photos I am going to post in the construction thread.

Speaking of Jeopary , my team did terrible. I felt like an idoit when that easy question came up about Paramounts buying Carowinds... Haha... I should of knew that one. Let alone that the fact that I said 2006... (I blame the kid in my group next to me! I do take some blame though...Hehe)We were Juicebox... My brother picked the name.... Interesting eh?

^ Heh, there's an idea. The first backyard inverted! I'll make it tall, with 5 loops. Maybe you can do the prototype with the coaster model you bought at the clearance sale. :mrgreen:

And I see you're trying to get the kids into yet another frenzy with your new tagline. How long until there are posts on TPR, Coasterbuzz, etc. about the "sources" saying that Carowinds is getting a launched hyper? Bad Jarvis!

Coasterstock rocked! Thank you to Dani & the other park officials for arranging this event. I made it home safely to VA about 1 hr ago. It was nice to meet up with a lot of people on here, and it was great to meet Jonathan as well.

Thanks to all the attendees AND all at the park for making it a really great event - I had a blast despite the heat and 17-hour day.

Highlights for me were park jeopardy and winning a wheel from one of my favorite rides anywhere, the flyer ERT, the incredible rides on T-Road during night ERT, and last but not least the smokin' rides on Afterburn to close out the night, including one with Dani and other park officials in the back row. Oh and of course hanging out with the usual Whootah! / Connection crew throughout the day, as well as meeting Wormy and many others from the site and beyond.

Can't wait for next year!

I, too, cannot get over how incredible Thunder Road is running these days. Whatever the park is doing, keep it up!

I had a blast meeting up with you guys and hanging out all day. The schedule was packed full of good stuff. Everything was well organized. I guess the only suggestion I have for next year is night ERT on the coming attraction. Asphalt ERT sounds amazing.

Thanks to Dani and all the staff that put this thing together. I hope you all got some rest after an extremely long day.
