I just read this on Screamscape. Hopefully this frees up enough room for that rumored B&M! www.screamscape.com/html/carowinds.htm

Wow it's loading faster now. Thanks Robb!

Downloaded it yesterday and it works great. Thanks Robb & Elissa!

My first coaster was Taxi Jam (aka Hey Arnold's) at Carowinds. I think I was around 8 years old...memories .

I went to Scarowinds this past Sunday, but I didn't think they had any sliders. Until I got to some mazes, where they slid and scared the crap out of me !

Here's my TR from my trip to Scarowinds this past Sunday. My friends and I got there at around 4:30 PM since we were getting the VIP Pre-Scare package, which started at 5:30 PM. That meant we got a buffet, a tour of 2 mazes, and early entry into the park. This was my first time at Scarowinds so I really didn't know what to expect. First off, we were led to the VIP buffet area with about 30 other people. After we were done eating, about 10 scharacters (as they are called at Scarowinds) came out and started scaring people. The costumes and make-up were really good and the scharacters really seemed like they enjoyed their jobs. After that, we were led by our tour-guide scharacter to 3 mazes: Last Laff, Dead Inn, and finally The Asylum. When we were done with those mazes, my friends and I rushed to Nighthawk, since it usually has the longest lines out of all the rides. We got there just as the gates opened to the public. Nighthawk was running better than it did when I last visited in July; it helped that they were running two trains this time. We barely had to wait on most of the rides in the park. I'm really glad we got the VIP package because we had enough time to do all the major rides and also all of the mazes. We got to ride Nighthawk, Afterburn, Thunder Road, Hurler, Ricochet, and Carolina Cyclone. Most of the mazes were really good. Here's how I rate them: Last Laff - 5/5 Dead Inn - 3/5 The Asylum - 4/5 CornStalkers - 2/5 The Dream Factory - 4/5 Final Summons - 3/5 Slaughter House - 4/5 Alien Annihilation - 5/5 Overall, I had a great time at Scarowinds. The only complaint that I have is that they didn't have enough scharacters. Throughout the night, we only saw about 10 of them running around. On a side note, the park theming was great. Pics to follow. I leave you with a pic of this nice gravestone. RIP. Some more park theming. The Hurler was horrible, but I did get some good airtime on the first drop. A creepy clown scharacter. Now I know what I'm gonna be for Halloween! Alien Annihilation was a great maze. Bad shot of Afterburn's logo. The ride was great, as usual. Some nice park theming. Thunder Road was great (although they were only running one side). The Dream Factory maze was another one of my favorites. A tall, creepy demon scharacter. Nighthawk in the distance. The Asylum maze was just okay. Last Laff was my favorite maze. Upskirt shot of Nighthawk. This cool but creepy scharacter girl. That's just hideous. Our tour-guide scharacter was great. A bloody surgeon guy that kept coming by our table. Me in front of the Scarowinds hearse. The Carolina Cobra crate out front. I heard a lot of the GP saying stuff like "Wow, this is so cool." and "I can't wait to ride this." You can't blame them since there aren't many boomerangs around here. My VIP Pass!

I'm going to Scarowinds today with the VIP ticket, which means I get a buffet during the early entrance...I'm definitely gonna watch what I eat LOL.

Very interesting...thanks for posting this. I've always had an interest in the paranormal .

Wow, everything about this park is amazing .

^ You got it.

I'll go . What park is this? (photo by TommyAndJames)

^^ Tatum, I don't think your link for the photo works...

I really like the layout of these mega-lites (Piraten/clones). I hope they make some in the US .

LOL I didn't even see the words at first...

I'm open to stuff like this, but her story is just not believable. Maybe she will prove us wrong. I'm just wondering what her excuse will be when nothing happens ...

Correct. Now you can post a pic .

I actually think it's a good idea. If you read the site, it says they are trying to recreate the Holy Land (Jerusalem) for those who probably will never visit the real one. Plus I think it will draw a lot of church youth groups and Christian families.

Amazing photos Joe. I especially liked the ones of Behemoth .

^ I know, plus I just saw that pic recently. Guess this park. (Photo by Bernhard Wimmer)

Is it Bobbejaanland?

^ Correct. Your turn .

I guess I'll post one up... Guess what park this is! (Photo by Jean-Marc Toussaint)

Great TR and awesome pics!

I actually haven't ridden either...but I'd rather ride a slingshot because they look awesome .

I think my answer ^ was right...correct me if I'm wrong. So here's a new pic. Guess this park. (Pic by TommyAndJames)
