I'm excited!!! Hummm . . . the first 2 house announced are throwback horror movies. Hummm . . . I wonder if this is a pattern.

Actually, Carowinds County Fair and surrounded area is riddled in spray paint and survey flags . . .lol.

I am gonna laugh my entire ass off if this does not turn out to be a giga with everyone being so sure it is.

Geesh! How about this, name a year the park went with a new attraction/major upgrade before you can say how neglected the park is. I'm waiting. . . .

I am an eclectic eater so all of the options look great! Too bad it will be a while before I can get over there (basically find someone who would go with me . . .).

normally, an hour or so but in october, when the fair is here . . . about 5 minutes.

That means any of the 3 dining plans are valid at those places. I highly reccomend Harmony Hall, C&P, Wings and Jukebox Diner

Probably because they are really good coasters? So are MACK launched coasters and RMC coasters . . . I still dont understand why a giga coaster is so adamantly wanted in this park. If anything, I personally would love to see some wood.

You wont . . . unless you trespass. Just google the rides, its plenty pictures on the net of them in other locations.

Why do you guys want a giga coaster so badly at this park?

Universal is a big boy park lol, they dont have those type of deals. Now, I think they have a 3 days for the price of 2 special.

Yeah . . . and the name if it will be hurler.

My personal favorites . . . Cowfish Reds brick oven pizza Emeril tchoup chop

But this guy already had it . . .

Forgot to post this earlier. Ran into these guys at Carowinds on opening day.

^ No, no mention of it all . . . A few weeks back a local TV clip (I think was posted here?) interviewed the park and they are aiming for a Memorial Day weekend opening. Keep in mind they are apparently building two other kiddie coasters (one of which will somehow go around this) and all three are projected to open together. Also the fact that this park is tiny and this ride is insanely huge & complicated compared to anything they've put in ever before (a Flitzer and a Pinfari looper lol). Yep . . . no mention of it.

How can they be forceless? Every ride you listed has at least 3G's. I already see where this thread is going . . .

You really feel the park added NOTHING this year?!?!?! If all you went to Carowinds for was for thunder road then there was the problem right there. But its nice to know that food would bring you back. Not Fury 325, not the water park expansion . . . but food.

Just go thru South gate and never cross the state line!

Hahahahaha tell me again, what is the ride called?

I think it's alterface, the folks behind the justice league rides at six flags

There's a thread like this already. . . right here . . .

Today was media day for the Plants VS. Zombies Garden Warfare 3Z attraction premiering at Carowinds well . . . tomorrow! We should all know most of what it is about so on to the pictures! In case you were wondering what was going on . . . It appears Super Brainz will be a character roaming this area. The stage is set. First up, the GM Brad Marcy said the typical theme park stuff. Then he was followed by members of the PR department, Laresa Thompson and John Taylor Afterwards the rep from PopCap games gave some insight of the attraction. Then it was time for some confetti . . . Lots of confetti! Lets go see what it's all about. Lots of posters line the fence. An overview of the renovated area . . . That's one big fan! The pre-show is of Dr. Zomboss who is trying to steal golden gnomes from the plants and their leader. Lets go inside and take our seats! ANother overview. Lets get started! I have to say, they did a really great job setting the tone and it looks nothing like what it use to. Now, you see how the two screens are split with the same scenes but different characters on each screen. You can see here how the sets are pretty diagonal from each other. You really cannot see what is going on with the other players. Even Super Brainz got in on some of the action! Not sure if the lights change between who won or not . . . The arcade has been retrofitted into a store. I think these has something to do with who wins or not. I forgot . . . Overall, I really liked this experience. It's like the triotech rides but just stationary. It also seemed kinda intimate and didn't feel like you were in a theme park so I guess that is a good thing if you need a break. It's definitely an experience for groups of friends as no two times are alike. The game characters change with each cycle so you wont be able to memorize it.

This Thursday. . . If I were a betting man, I'd get up from the table with those odds.

Regarding Tennessee tornado, it has been said that it was in fact to be longer. After that iron butterfly, it was to take a left hand turn into more coaster elements but due to budget issues it took a right. As far as lightning rod, if I was anyone considering going this weekend and hadn't paid for anything . . . I would sit this weekend out as well.
