RollerNut

Head Spin is still standing in Ohio so it is not Head Spin. Alot of things look like supports for a roller coaster, and unless we are getting a 500 foot coaster, supports wouldn't be coming this early. There isn't even footers in the ground yet. Footers generally come before supports.

Jay, where do you normally sit? I normally sit towards the middle, but I think the backseat is worth the airtime.

Indeed, I watched them retrack it. Hurler was smoother in 2006 than it ever was before. I can't say about 2007 and 2008 because I haven't been to Carowinds since 2006.

Actually, Hurler gets retracked twice a season. I don't think it has anything to do with how much money they put into the ride, I think the ride's design is the main factor in it's roughness.

Wave Swinger(Whirlin' Dervish) was removed after the 2000, and sent to CGA where it reopened in 2001. I don't believe there is any truth to the Saturator rumors, I believe that someone got confused when they were the ride would closed early in 2007.

Good to see Thunder Road is finally getting some well needed attention, do you mind if I post these over at Carowinds Zone Photo Gallery with Photo Credit to you?

Is Magic Mountain open, or have they decided to closed the park because of the fires?

Wow, it has been such a long time since I have been on TPR. Anyways, me and the Zone has a big surprise for everyone coming October 1st, 2007!

Too far to walk.

Ok, I can't find the photos of the WWF area, but I assure you, there are yellow and orange flags under WWF. I saw them with my own two eyes.

Where did you get the riverboat scenery object from? I need one like that for a park I am doing.

I really like the light house, it is pretty and a good example of quality scenery. The Edge is an interesting name for what type of ride it is.

Sorry about Drop Zone being down this morning, it was having issues, but it open at 11. Hurler doesn't open until 11 everyday except Saturday. I spent most of my day at Drop Zone.

Well, I hate to say it but I lost my pants a while back.

Finally, a new update! Dragon and Skyneedle Pavilion Amusement Park.SV6

Vortex and Smooth? Thoose two words have to have "not" between them.

I agree with Jarvis, I can handle my wood. Hurler is running fast with lots of airtime. So it is having a little bumpyness in the first banked turn. I would take airtime over smooth ride anyday.

Just drop by Hurler/Drop Zone, if I ain't there I am on break.

I am the guy at Drop Zone that says "We will see you in 40 seconds", "You know what goes up, comes down....3 times as fast.", or "Clear, going up 160 feet". I also work up at Hurler normally at drive. At Hurler just look for the guy checking lapbars backwards on the exit side, that would me. No, I am not showing off when I do it, it is easier for me to do it that way, and the Team Leaders approved of it. Hmm, I must have been at Hurler when Drop Zone got stuck because I didn't see it.

I added the third lift hill to give a good pop of airtime over the last hill without making it tiny, but I am considering removing the hill, and added another tunnel. Overview of the park so far.

Amazing that it was considering who was operating it. *Wink*

Yes, I am adding tunnels and trees. The blue building is a theater, but I have thought of changing it into a dark ride. There will be a looping coaster, and a kiddy coaster added.

A new coaster. The unnamed mine train coaster with out theming and scenery added.

The newest area that I am working on. I added a few games building, a scrambler, and more.

This park is named in honor of the soon to be closed, Pavilion. I wanted a beachside park feel, so I added a lake around the park's wooden coaster and Carousel. Overall view of the park so far.
