Carowinds Discussion Thread
ThemeParkJunkie51290 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
So, I'm guessing there will be no construction this week. I just hope the coaster will still be ready on time for opening weekend. -
Oh yes! All the time! There's a hill down from where I live, and if nobody is coming I pick up a little speed just so I get that "funny feeling" as I used to say.

Today's update . . . Muddy . . .With a splash down in the tunnel . . . Only for a brief period. -

Photo TR: A Weekend In Orlando
ThemeParkJunkie51290 replied to JRice92's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow! Great pictures! I'm glad you really enjoyed yourself! I had a great time when I went to Seaworld Orlando for the first time in 2011. I rode all the major coasters and other rides, and my day was amazing! Too bad I never got a chance to experience Polar Express. -

TERRIFYING, CRAZY, and INSANE! But I'm still foolish enough to ride it! Come on March! -

Well, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only thinking about an inversion on a hyper/giga coaster. Maybe in the near future we might see one. -

Ow. Wouldn't the G's be too high for that? Then again, this is a B&M Yeah you right. Going into an inversion 95mph might not be a good idea. Lol. -

Am I the only sitting here thinking how AMAZING it would have been if they turned that 91 degree angle into an inversion right before you enter the tunnel. Now that would really put Fury325 as the "#1 Coaster of 2015!" "TALLEST GIGA COASTER WITH INVERSION!" -
I'm so sad to hear this. Really. I'm thankful I had to the chance to ride both Lion and Tiger when I went to Busch Gardens Tampa in 2008 for a first time visit to the park. Till this day Busch Gardens Tampa stands as my "most enjoyed" time at a theme park. No crowds. No lines. April 15, 2008 was a great day for me! I'm just upset that not only this park, but other parks are suffering as well. I just hope the best.

Thank you! That's just what I wanted to hear! I'm buying a Fast Lane Plus anyway so hopefully that helps out. I do agree with everyone else though. Being this is the world's tallest giga coaster it might get very exciting! LOL. But I guess that's the point of OPENING weekend I suppose. -

100%, no doubt about it. I'm in Raleigh though, so it's not like there's another choice. That's great! I plan on being there opening weekend. More likely Sunday. My first time at Carowinds and first time experiencing an opening weekend for a theme park. That should be very interesting. LOL. I just hope crowds aren't too crazy. -

Carowinds will mostly likely be my first theme park visit of the year! No doubt about it! -

I'm just getting more excited by the day! Just like the famous Ian Malcom said, ". . .then there's going to be running and screaming." That's because every one is going to be running towards this coaster and screaming their heads off! LOL! -
My end of the day routine is weird. LOL. As I'm leaving from the parks I like to take a look back and stare at the coasters. I stand for a few mins, or just keep looking back as I walk off. The reason I do this is because I want ever be back again. I visit a theme park only once because this gives me a chance to visit other theme parks that I haven't been to. So, that's my ritual. Sort of. LOL.

Lagoon Discussion Thread
ThemeParkJunkie51290 replied to Twister II's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You took the words right out of my mouth! I plan on going to Carowinds for Fury325 (world's tallest non-launched full circuit coaster). Holiday World for Thunderbird (world's first launched wing coaster)! And I'm going to try my best to get to Lagoon Amusement Park for Cannibal (steepest drop in America)! Three of the "MUST RIDES FOR 2015" in my honest opinion. -

I have strong hope that this coaster will be done by opening weekend!
