Are the crowds going to be horrible on the 24th? I’ve seen KD get through trains pretty well. -

I mean... so far they made a sign that says the name of the ride in plain, Helvetica font and out it on the roof of a rectangular metal building. Look at the bottom left of the FB picture... they're building a pretty substantial faux-brick entrance there, and apparently some covered structures in that pavilion area as well. Thank you, that's what I was referring to. The station is still a bit of an eyesore but from what I can see, the new entrance looks great. It’s getting a paint job. -

Damn Gary Chadwick left. I’m not shedding any tears tbh because he didn’t seem to grasp the Park well and came off as rather mundane. Their new GM Team Johnson has been there since the beginning, meaning he should have a great concept on how to make the park as successful as it once was. -

Apparently it’s supposed to begin testing within the next couple of days. -

It’s almost as if they are trying to have theming... -
Carowinds Discussion Thread

1. I don’t think Hurler is getting RMC’d anytime soon. The KD one was because it was in terrible shape and was in a dead area of the park. Carowinds’s is relatively smooth and provides a solid family coaster experience. 2. If this is a 2019 project it will probably be either a GCI or a raptor. With a dive being all but confirmed for Canada’s Wodnerland, Cedar Fair would likely build something less expensive in the same year (plus with Kanonen possibly coming to Dorney too, idk). And it would be a great fit. They need a really good woodie now that Thunder Road passed on. -

First of all, Apple Zapple is the greatest coaster name ever so learn to embrace it and let Apple Zapple into your heart. Second of all, what the f*ck are you on about? It was a joke -

I really hope Old Virginia gets an upgrade next since Dino’s Alive is going. Perhaps a kick-ass GCI? -

Is it me or is the restraint positioned differently? The place where it ratchets looks higher up than on the old RMC trains. -

As cool as SV looks I would hold off on calling it the best RMC. Lightning Rod is an unbelievable coaster and the MCBR may interfere with the pacing but we’ll see. -

As much as I'd love to see this happen, I don't think CF is gonna go all out for the theming on this one. Gary Chadwick said they would Plus KD is normally good with theming -

Where will this rank among RMCs? I think it’s possibly top 5. -

Looks incredible! Sort of if Outlaw Run and El Toro had a baby. Possibly a top 5 RMC. -
