Haha sorry Coasterbill. I was typing from my phone. Try one more time.

I don't believe Carowinds' Hurler is getting RMC'd. It's in a way much more better shape than KD's. KD's Hurler needs to be converted Carowinds' Hurler does not. It's almost fully retracked. Now I can see an RMC or woody in general being built from the ground up especially with White Waterfalls being demolished as we speak along with the old putt-putt area and the sand dune lagoon possibly closing for good. That's a lot of real estate right there now of course they're other places a coaster can go. I personally think in 2018 it will be planet snoopy's turn for expansion. Think about the it. The water park has had two expansions, in 2014 and 2016. The dry side of the park also had two expansion, with a new front gate entrance and coaster in 2015 and in 2017 with the new county fair. So it's about time for the peanuts gang to get some love. If in fact the break dance is still with Carowinds then that's where it will go along with maybe 3 new kids rides as CGA's breakdance is also in planet snoopy.

I think I'm way to excited about the top scan ride and the fact that the music express will be partially enclosed with the tunnel portion in the back half as they should be. The other sisters at Dorney and CP are not so this one will stand out and have an edge if you will in excitement. Fried CORN? bring on the fatty foods!!!!

Well the Carowinds sign planter near Starbucks is now gone per their Twitter page.

Well to vouch for Intimidator and Xcelerator or any coaster at a park that deals with extreme UV rays and above 90 degree temps in the summers, red pinks blacks are highly prone to fading vs other colors in the direct sunlight. Intimidaor at Carowinds was supposed to be repainted this off season, however obviously that's not the case because Cobra had to be repainted for the new theme it will have in the new Coutny Fair section. They'll probably do it next off season, at least they replaced the seat cushions and restraint bars on the trains hell even Hurler got new cushions on its trains last season. They're rather comfy. Lol

I can only speak for Six Flags ATL. Goliath looks horrid to be a front entrance coaster along with Georgia Scorcher that's right near the walkway the pedestrians have to walk to get to the gate. Scorcher is peeling very badly and Goliath so very faded smh. I'm not going to even discuss Superman in the back of the park it's just horrible, With in Cedar Fair, to me Carowinds have always been the better park to keep up with their rides looking there best and vibrant. I mean Intimidator is 7yrs old and they train seats were replaced with brand new one last season while Diamondback and Kings Island is 8yrs and the seats and restraint handles are just freaking nasty. The head rest itself looks like its full of diseases in the black dirt filled area of the head rest. This just unacceptable.

Peanut Pirates, Woodstock Gliders, Plants vs Zombie, Screamweaver, Drop Tower, Electro-Spin and catch the Cirque show as well.

Looks like, via webcam, troika's errr Do-Si-Do's motor is being placed.

Six Flags urks my nerves when it comes to repainting rides. Carowinds obviously is 15mins from my house but I do frequent SF ATL, SF in DC and when I go home to NYC of course SF Great Adventure and the rides just looks horrible. It's such a pet peeve to see the rides are lack luster when six flags color schemes on there rides are some of the best combinations of colors.

NEW PAINT!!! per Carowinds InstaGram account. Colors are popping again yes?

Well I for one love flume rides or any dry park water ride for that matter as I'm not a waterpark person. Flumes work for me just fine especially living in a region where summers hit on average 95+ so being soaked is only for like 10mins. I just get on Fury and I'm dry by the time we're halfway through the ride. So yea I'm a little bummed about WWF being torn down. Now I have to wait in a slow moving 2hr long line to ride the rapids that only thing getting wet is your butt from sitting in a wet seat smh. I truly hope a log flume or another dry side water ride is in the works. Everybody doesn't go to watermarks.

Sooooo they updated the ride listing on Carowinds website. Is it me or are we missing a ride in the water family? *coughs* White water falls*

Ugh they took the lights off the colored sections.

The Top Scan errr Electro Spin is on sight!!

Casino Piers musik express is epically insane. The DJ is incredible and when he pushes it full speed he sounds the foghorn and the fog machine and strobe lights go crazy. Yea this won't be at Cedar Fair parks hell they don't even have the back tunnel section and loud music. It'll be ran in a cycle like every other flat ride.

DOUBLE POST *DELETED#

Agree....Dorney's nor Cedar Point's doesn't so I'm betting Carowinds wont either.

An hour ago per Carowinds Twitter

UPDATE Looks like the cars are being or have been installed on Rock -n- Roller (far right hand side under burgundy roof)

Considering I'm a adrenaline junkie nothing really scares me. I've done it all from sky diving to bungee jumping etc, however star flyers on a breezy day snatches my very being away. I'll still ride them just to get over myself ... it is a mind game ... but believe me when I tell you I'm holding on to the chains for dear life. I mean the chain print is normally on my hands which are typically cramped from squeezing so tight. I did the star flyer at SFOT and I think my soul left me. I can do Windseekers and wave swingers/yo-yo rides any day but a seat attached to a janky chain way over 200+ feet which I think SFOT version is 400ft is a problem.

Carowinds is my home park and I always head straight to Nighthawk first. It's the absolute worst line in the park.

Just a quick update for those who don't have the time to stare at the camera all day. The Music Express, on the far right hand side, is going vertical currently and the foundations are being setup for the Top Scan and Wave Swinger. Cobra is looking nice as well.

Just a lil look at Cobra via Carowinds Facebook Page Judging by the livestream, theyre prepping to make the concrete pads for Electro-Spin, Do-Si-Do, and Zephr.
