Wicked Cyclone says a bold statement to make...

One of my motto's when it comes down to coasters... "Keep your theme just make me scream"

This has to be surreal to the folks at Carowinds. So much national and international coverage! I can't think of any other coaster that has generated this much "buzz" !

Nope! I tried lol...they wont even give discounts...

^ It better! I cant wait to ride on 3/25!!!

...wrong thread.

ITS TESTING ITS TESTING!!!!

Oh well...guess i'll just wait until the 3/25 to ride fury 325!

I really wanna take advantage of pass holders day but I wish they would say if the new coaster would be available or not!

Sure, there is an ACE event in Aug. The park use to do their own event, they say they are bringing it back. Not sure if its gonna be this season...it was called "coasterstock".

Im willing to bet money JAWS will show up in the new water park in some form or fashion...

lol lol are they serious???

But...wasn't Texas Giant crap? I have never been to SFoT but from reports they were one in the same, TG and MS. They layouts are very very similar. I even thought they were the same when I was younger. Is it just you dont want it to be a better coaster??? Admit it! lol

How can people say RMC cant save mean streak but look at the new texas giant and marvel...

Well, its not...really. Aside from the station and lift its a regular coaster. Its themed as much as Alpengeist. I think a lot of the figure for baron is the overall price with the coaster included. Do you think expedition Everest would cost 100 million if it were just the coaster?

That's huge?

It may be just me but I think polin slides are the least attractive. i hope they are more thrilling then they look...

Whoa! Floorless mantis AND a dive coaster in the same year!!!

I mention the disney water parks and said outside of them. From my experience, most people who go to disney water parks are already disney world guest and not the casual orlando visitor. Wet n'wild would basically close since universal wouldn't need two water parks so close to each other. Coco key...that's like 3 slides right? And besides, how many non-hotel guest acutally visit that place? Legoland is considered far when you are considering the amount of people who fly into Orlando and main focus is between ouniversal, sea world and disney. Honestly...do you really consider discovery cove a "water park"? So basically, for the Orlando visitor who doesn't want to venture outside the Orlando area and not really going to Disney, its only 2 REAL, fleshed out water parks, and one of them may be on the chopping block. I say bring on universal's take on a water park. I'm sure it wont be just slides and a water play fort... And you are correct...more tourist are in Orlando for the theme parks...but guess what...universal built their own mini golf course and now many of those are in Orlando? Universal just built Cabana bay and building Sapphire falls...how many hotels are already in Orlando...so why shouldn't universal build their own water park? Universal doesn't care what Orlando already has, they care about keeping their guest spending money with them and adding days to their visit as a result of more offerings. I say the more places to cool off in Orlando in those smoldering months of may-aug the better...

I've read it wont be parking next to it. I think it would suck for non resort visitors to haul that stuff around. it would be a problem wanting to do the parks and the water park in the same day if you aren't staying on site... YES!!! Outside of disney, there are only 2 water parks in central fla (that I know of). And its not like placing 3 McDonald's on the same block. It seems every water park in central offers some "unique-ness" to it in some form. I guess since I have read some unofficial details of this water park I may be more excited for it

I saw this and thought of this thread lol...

Then, I would do one day at universal...without express...wait, when are you going?

I just went to universal two weeks ago with some folks who have never been there. We did everything, from opening to closing 9-6 or 7, at both parks and took about an hour or so off to eat at cowfish (which you must!) at 1130ish. Now, I was able to get comp express passes for all which made it possible to do everything in both parks, minus a few attractions but if you could sacrifice a day at Disney I would to make sure you get the most out of universal. Have you ever been to Disney? When was the last time you were at universal?

Now it seems the camera is all over the place!

And that brings up another point...I can understand why SFMM, being a year round park, would do the spring openings but it seems the ring of fires wont open until "spring" of this year at several SF parks? Why does SF operate like that?
