The fact that they didn't put Patriot (the parks only B&M, the parks only Inverted Coaster) on the teaser, either hints a new B&M, or a new inverted coaster -

If you are talking about WOF - no, there were only those two markers there by the old Sky High terminal. There was a little more activity around Thunderhawk as they continue to remove the remnants of that ride. The buildings in Bicentennial Square continue to be boarded up to whatever the new use will be -- I am wondering if the arcade won't be moved there eventually and our Triotech Darkride will go where the current Joe Cool Arcade is (as that building needs some major work and it would be cheaper to just tear it down and build something new there. I have 4 theories 1. Dark Ride In Biccentennial Square 2. Troiker & Condor Rides or whatever there called 3. Coaster 4. Americana Entrance -

Actually, flags have been placed where the old mini golf was. Yellow flags scattered on the grass and pink flags on the trees! I think you're in the wrong thread. EDIT: Oh Carowinds... got it. What we need to know is where all the markers are placed. But I also do agree that CF would not throw a teaser out there this early for just two old flat rides. But a huge coaster I don't see You're right. A huge coaster wouldn't even fit there. If we got a smaller launch coaster though, that would be amazing. Unless they make a coaster that crosses over a midway. Then it could either go over by Mamba or they could even take out The Taxis -

What makes this early season teaser different then KI's early season teaser? The difference would be that this would be 3 coaster projects in one year, something we haven't seen of late from CF. KI has begun tree clearing and has survey markers across a very large area. KI's project is a coaster and from all appearances a large one. Hurler, in house or not, is still a coaster project. As I said before I hope it is a coaster (and I agree that early teasing is usually a sign of a bigger investment) but it would be a deviation from the capital investment strategy we've seen the past few years. 2013 saw Gatekeeper, a $30 million investment, Gold Striker, probably a $10 million investment, and Coast Rider at Knott's, and not to mention GCI refurbishments on Shivering Timber, Timber Wolf, and Hurler at Carowinds. There's no reason why 2017 can't have three coaster projects if they average around $15-20 million each. Cedar Fair generally spends well over $100 in expenditures per year throughout their parks, and there's nothing to say that on certain years the bulk of that will be spent on water parks, or coasters, or family attractions, or thrill rides, or in any combination. Maybe 2017 will focus on coasters. Hell, if they wanted to, Cedar Fair can open 11 new coasters in 2017 (1 for each park), each about $10 million, and still be at budget. Not to mention if they buy that many in one year, they would probably get a bulk discount I actually think it could just be s drop tower -
