Charlotte. LOL some how the odd building on the right looks like Wayne Enterprises.

I am attempting to remix "Girls like spice" from the RCT3 list for a luagh.

I do not wanna know.. LOL! mac.bmp

I am mainly a disney park pin collector. I do have a few ride pins though such as El Toro I purchased before I moved.

Atleast this guy didn't die like the one girl on Raging Bull who was CHEWING GUM ON THE RIDE!. I do agree people if they hear from a doctor that they have a heart condition should think before riding. I swear its like my dad. He knows his limits but sometimes he just doesn't abide by them. I feel sorry for the man that died and his family but sometimes I wish people would listen to thier doctors! After reading the article I have only 1 thing to note about it: It says heart attack. They proberbly couldn't get meds there in time. If it was a cholesterol type heart attack you have MAYBE 10-20 minutes to seek help depending on how bad the block is. Which in this case high blood pressure during the ride could have spiked and sent in motion the blockage on the artery wall to come unclung and lodge itself in the mans heart. I am a med dictionary lmao!

I use to work at GADV on Nitro and Batman for the 05 season, having had to climb Nitro's lift every morning I saw Ka roll back during test runs. Ka has a 2 type launch system. System 1: 1 swift cable pull. If the train is under weight *operator hits "EX Boost" I believe the button says. and it switches to launch type 2. 4 tugs on the cable at different points on the launch. Sorry to state for you Kingda Ka fans out there but the train doesn't always hit 128 as its intended. It hits between 122(yes I said 122) and 128 on normal basis. At 122 it still BARELY makes it over the top. Before moving to SC from NJ, one of my last 5 rides on it I actually got a roll back in the Gak(green) train. Although I have ridden Storm runner maybe 1 or 2 times I have never seen it roll back yet. I also witnessed TTD roll back a few times from my last trip to CP.

Hmmm now that we can all think you know what? Dandaman has a good idea..

After scrolling through countless pics of Atlantis Adventure at Lotte World, none of its track segments have that odd track type. My guess is its bracing or something. What ever it is I am sure we'll be happy. It just keeps getting more interesting. Does anyone at all give it even a 10/90 chance of being a full blown prototype?

Thanks for the gallery pics. I wasn't about to inspect the parking lot,atleast not with security guards there.

Yes I am reading posts. I know its a joke I am just saying if anything happens we'll find out sooner or later.I never said I didn't believe you either. I can be dense jesus. Gimme a dang break here.

Sure...lol , eh, all it takes is a lil' digging up. So I'll be around somewhere trying to dig up a "giant" *cough* pile of dirt. Now, where'd I put that shovel... & butcher knife Eh, we'll find out September 16th.

Jarvis man, go to Thunder Road the Icee place next to it by the bumper cars, go back to the right side of the icee shack. Its right on the grounds there. You can even see it in a pic I posted last in the "Pic of me" topic. Clearly you can see the Bumper cars from Carowinds behind me. On screamscape that was my picture odviously. BTW- Wes on Carowinds Connection, You post "Something like this might be seen at Carowinds in 2007" with a pic of Goliath at SFOG, Would you happen to be refering to an acer, or somethin ? at all or? Because from talkin around the park I think I know exactly who it is.

Oy Veh gotcha. *elevator music starts* *waits for friend to upload rest of photo's* Its seems a long shot in the dark for people but theres always a ray of hope. RollerNut- The pics should be on the main camera memory like the last in the set we took. The only pics on the memo card we have are of the last ones by the T-Road area. Just double check if you can.

OK! Jesus people. I am not dumb here I know it takes months for a park to build and contract rides etc. This could be the preliminary and or early stage staking for something like PERMIT application and ZONING. I am only trying to point out what I saw. Not get joked at or mocked for something I reported..

Well due construction as I hear for Carowinds on new items starts around some time in August, so I would expect full construction in early August and an announcement between then and Sept. Think about when Top Gun was built it broke ground and started vertical construction before the last few weeks during the operating season of 1998, before opeing in the 1999 season. Also in Borg's case didn't they start deconstruction of the Stern wheeler and all that around july/august?

Once all the pics are uploaded I can show proof that some are in the containment area of White Water Falls. We took around..30 or 40 pictures yesterday.

I'm just gonna sit back and look at this with a possitive out look. Stakes can mean anything yes, but not when they are layed out in a long drawn out layout form. We can say this , it will not be a flat ride or FOF from PKD. My bets go twards them removing the White Water Falls ride due to- 1. Poor ridership. 2.The que line is a MESS, it gets like puddled up and muddy. 3.the maintenence costs per year are proberably huge. 4.Have you ever eveen tried to fit through the que line LOL!. Its a death trap!. Just a last thought, Carowinds PR were spotted buzzing around at SFOG during its media event. Could this mean they were scoutting competition to see how they could beat it? I mean factor in the new CF management, Thier drive for new rides. Then account for the fact that ALL parks in the area around them that are major have gotten new "COASTERS" why would Carowinds slouch down in this and let Dollywood and SFOG take thier crowd away without a fight? You don't think CF buying all the paramount parks that they'd not want to start things off right away to better the image of the park right off the bat do you? Hypothetically do you think IF CF had purchased the parks sooner that carowinds would have been given a HAND ME DOWN coaster from PGA..do you..

I'm not counting on it myself but theres so many factors involved. I am just hoping for the best at this point.

So, RollerNut and I took a trip out yesterday and as of reading an ACE and C3 teaser we went exploring. Seemingly the C3 register paper for Sept 16th says a Hyper may soar over the state line.. Now a team leader friend of mine says Maintenence keeps talking of a hyper.Now with my being curious I had to go exploring. We discovered many markers around the Thunder Road area and in the White Water Falls zone. This was not all visitible from the station of T-Road so we went all around Boomerange Bay. Alot of markers showed up over night , I go to Carowinds like 2 times or 3 times a week so I am on top of alot. There will be more pics as my friend uploads them. All in all we counted 28 markers in 1 solid area. That stretches from T-road station to the end turn around and in twards the White Water Falls and Bumper Cars area. Also Thunder Road has been given brand new cross bracings on the lift hill. Near the start. Here in clear detail you can see the new cross bracings , they are totally a different color.

Okay, so my friend and I are planning a Six flags over Georgia trip. Anyone here wanna meet up and hang out? It will be this Monday-Tuesday the 24-25th. Just lemme know. Send a PM or post here if you wanna just chill. We will be posting a TPR photo update apon return also.

Me just snooping around Carowinds. I found some kind of marker.I think.. As you can kinda tell I do look ticked off..It was kinda hot that day. A member here RollerNut was the one who took that picture.

Where can I find the Intamin trains used in the screens? Looks to me like Amazin'Earl or someone else made those? Also, great job so far!

Everybody now... "Little shop, little shop of horrors, little shop" yea... LOL. Venus fly traps and pitcher plants are cool. I use to have a huge thing of them in my house.

This is lookin cool!. Keep up the good work!

We're whalers on the moon, We carry a harpoon. But there ain't no whales So we tell tall tales And sing our whaling tune. LOL! Yea the milkshake song is kind of annoying.
