Afterburn is not a name that rolls off the tongue very easily But, it is a very intense ride. I'm not usually a fan of wingovers but Afterburn's is pretty awesome. One Fence + One Ride + A couple riders = this picture I like Thunder Road a lot. It's much better then it's counter part at KD, Rebel Yell. The retracked areas were very nice. Carolina Cobra is an oddity among boomerangs. The cars are much better then the standard vekoma cars. More Cobra A fancy Cobra picture The signage for Carolina Cobra sports one of the better logos Cedar Fair has produced. Which way is the car going? Forwards or Backwards? Through the trees! Vortex! Writing captions... It's serious business. Carolina Goldrusher was a pretty solid mine ride. Borghawk is so dang easy to take pictures of. Ricochet is Carowind's take on the wild mouse concept. Don't let the colors on this ride deceive you, it can kill. Your colors can't trick me! Hurler is, by no means, a good ride. Carowind's version is not as good as Kings Domininon's which says a lot. TAER IT DOWN! Artsy shot of Hurler's drop. I hijacked my dad's camera for the trip, along with his telephoto lens. Cresting the lift The control panel of Boo Blasters. I loved KD's version of the ride so I couldn't wait to try it out at Carowinds. It was actually a very fun ride. This would be a Boomerang... The day was hot so this was a welcome sight. Another picture of the boomerang, but this time with Chicken Tenders! More coming soon.

Hey everyone, this is my first PTR on TPR so I hope you all have a good time reading it. I went to 3 different parks, Carowinds, SFoG, and Dollywood and I have some pictures from all three so the PTR might be broken up a bit. Before we start I just want you all to know that one of the main goals of this trip was to eat at a waffle house. I went on this trip with my Aunt over the course of the past week. We started in DC and traveled down to Charlotte NC, the first day of the trip to get ready for Carowinds the next day. It was a 7 hour drive and we made some very necessary stops on the way. Every real American should start their PTR with a picture of the American Flag. Yes, we went to the Stonewall Jackson Shrine just off of I-95 in Virginia. We thought Stonewall's arm was buried here but sadly we were wrong, it was only where he died. He died in this house, sadly it wasn't a Waffle House. Ralph's Barbecue was amazing. The food was spectacular and I had my first taste of Pickled Watermelon! This one goes out to all those people in the land down under! One of the greatest puns of all time. JR outlets uses funny advertisements... It's super effective! Finally, Roller Coasters and Free Direct TV. Intimidator was looking amazing. I couldn't wait to compare it to I305 at KD. Obligatory Photo time! Not much needs to be said about this spot in TPR's history. The letters C-A-R-O-W-I-N-D-S with Borghawk and Vortex looming in the background. More Borghawk I232 looks quite a bit taller then 232 feet. That is one tiny maintenance shed. I don't get the fuss about this ride, there really isn't much head banging. Flying Ace Aerial Chase (or whatever it's called) has a shiny new paint job this year. No, I wasn't riding the helicopter ride.... I didn't have the heart to steal a kid. My ROFLcopter goes soi soi soi! Intimidator, taking the plunge. Afterburn is, by far, my favorite ride in the park. More pictures coming very soon!

What day were you there? I went this Wednesday. Pretty awesome PTR you've got there. I heard that Acrophobia is going to be down for a few weeks.

I just got number 100 today on Mind Bender at SFOG

Wild One

^^ A draw is a win going against you guys. You should have crushed us so a tie is perfectly acceptable.

USA!

You guys are nuts.

I'm from DC so naturally I'm watching Strasburg tear it up right now. It's fun to see a DC team do well! Next year is our year, we have the number 1 pick in basketball, a great hockey team, and a great pitcher in DC. We may finally have a chance to win something!

It looks to be very spread out just like the back half of SFA. I wish they would conserve some space...

I hate idiots on youtube. Especially KD fanboys on Youtube.

I'm getting to 100 next week. I'm at 79 right now so I'm thinking that my 100th ride will be at SFOG, maybe Goliath?

^same here

The coaster in Dubai is already built and ready to go, they just have to wrap up the park which they seem to be doing.

They should have gotten intamin to run it

Windjammers comes to mind in the failures category. I can't seem to group I305 and Windjammers together.

Dear all powerful title fairy. Can you please change my title to something along the lines of "Slavoj Zizek is amazing". Thanks!

My Great Grand mom lives 2 blocks away from that house, I've seen it. The house is like a mini government run vacation complex.

1 great band replaced by another. No complaints here.

^ pretty good song. 2112 - Rush

Only at Holiday World would the president of the company be the back up bassist ADMIN EDIT: I went ahead and embedded the video so people knew what they were looking at. Thanks for sharing this with us!

^remember, all the kids are in school.

Is that Whistler I see?

Woops, deleted. Wrong guy.
