Whatever they put in there, I truly hope that they use the lake to their advantage! -

I can't comfirm it... But I'm pretty sure that wasn't in the plans... We have never seen a zero g stall before last years Goliath I believe... -

It's true, we have! The argument started with leviathan and behemoth... And this is almost exactly the same situation! Two B&M hypers, one around 230ft focusing on airtime (complete with the staggered trains) and the other about 300ft focusing on speed. They're even on the same side of the park from the entrance! Come on people, move on! -

Good point Ryan, It's also possible that the brakes for the entire ride need to be replaced to work with the floorless trains, so there waiting to take care of that until after the ride officially closes! -

Thats what my sister likes to call a "corporate yes." That way if they decide to put it in some other random spot she didn't lie to you! I can not wait to see this thing in real life! July 19th! Yes, I am already booking my massive summer trip! -

Quitting from the CW page: Looks like they only used one crane... -
Carowinds Discussion Thread
Brassinthegrass replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I disagree, I believe the only roller coaster that we really can put up against fury is leviathan. And even in that situation I don't think that's fair since it's so far apart it's not really in competition, unless were discussing something like the Golden to get awards. I am intrigued to see how it runs compared to Leviathan, which was not very intense but extremely enjoyable and fun, as well as compared to intimidator 305 which is clearly on the more extreme end of the giga coaster category. No matter what, it's gonna be a great addition to the park and I absolutely love the color scheme (especially the thin stripe on the bottom) as well as the look of the new entrance to the park! Next season I'll be going to Kings Dominion followed the next day by Carowinds and I cannot wait to put the two Gigas back to back! -
Adventureland Long Island!

I'm pulling this thread up from the grave since there is some excitement on long island about the new Mack spinning coaster coming next year. I went to the park today after lunch with my mother since I had the day off (got to love Jewish Holidays and working in public schools!). Got my last ride on the Hurricane and the last ride of the season in! Took a few pictures of our beloved S.D.C. hurricane before it is removed. This is the view from the Target just south of the park. I know it's hard to see through the trees, but this is the point of view that all the construction updates will be coming in from!

It is sad to see them taking it down, it's still running great! I hope someone is buying it off of them and that they are not just scrapping it! Hopefully once te park closes for the season I'll be able to stop by once a week or so on my way home to get everyone some updates!

Oh calm down and go read the disclaimer at the bottom of every page... I'm sure B&M will have a nice launch,Mir won't be anywhere near a hydraulic launch like Intamin... But I'm sure it will have some nice umph. -

Well I'm sure the fact that it's all the same color helps... Easier than trying to paint a stripe or something... -

Keep in mind,mine crane has to fit in all the areas the track is going... And there not cutting down too many trees for this ride... I wouldn't be surprised to see a smaller crane that can easily move... -
I'm not surprised, after the debacle of last season's new rides almost all opening significantly later than their original opening date, it's not at all amazing to see that so many of the rides are already being built... Plus I'm sure RMC is wanting to get there roller coasters Bill sooner than later so that they can focus on building their new factory as well!
