Carowinds Discussion Thread
PalmTree55 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Fury was fantastic, but it also had a major downside for me. After riding Fury, I went over to ride i232 before lunch. Now I know they are two different coasters and that they probably shouldn't be compared, but i232 was almost boring compared to Fury. Both are still great rides, but I can't see myself riding Intimidator much any more. -

Carowinds Discussion Thread
PalmTree55 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Just finished my 8th ride, and I have to say I disagree on the review that stated it had little airtime. The second half had plenty, and it most certianly does not "crawl" back into the station. -
Agreed. I feel as if Carnival is struggling to come up with new quality public areas and attractions, so they just take cues from NCL and RCCL. The Cycle thing loos extremely tacky as well, not to mention how bad the capacity will be. Does anyone know if the IMAX theater is an up charge, or included with your fare?

I also am interested in how this occurred, I have always though of these ropes courses to be incredibly safe. -

I do, and got a media invite as well. I may not be able to go to the announcement however, as something has come up. -
Hey Title Fairy, Can I have a custom title?

Thanks!

Not sure if this is in the right thread or not, apologies in advance if that's the case. Does anyone know where there is a list of parks that don't have a policy against guests bringing their camera's on attractions? Thanks

Carowinds Discussion Thread

Some photos from friday at the park. Extremely short lines for the entire day, the park was practically empty. Slide construction is almost complete, and I was told by an employee that they will be open before July. Harmony Hall Marketplace is also coming along quite nicely. One of the best B&M Inverts around! The new paint job looks fantastic! Of course, we can't forget about Intimidaotr Lot's of floater airtime, just an all around great coaster! AIRTIME! Ricochet's new paint job look fantastic as well! The new slides look great, now if only they would open! Overall, a great day a a great park! -

What company did you get an internship with? -
Three things for Carowinds in 2015: 1. Continue to retrack/improve Hurler and Thunder Road 2. Convert Vortex to a floorless (I know this will probably never happen, but I'd like it to.) 3. I know a new coaster is in the works or next year, I just hope it's not a taller Intimidator. Preferably a 300ft. Dive Machine.

Favorite Dark Ride
PalmTree55 replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Mine definitely would have to be Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey. Not only is it my favorite Dark Ride, but it's also my favorite ride over all, and in my opinion, the best themed!
