Anyone know if season pass processing is going to be open for the preview event? We have a family member who has decided they want to go so we will need to buy another pass.

The new entrance is looking great. Can't wait to see the fully finished product.

Yes, it will.

Awesome

I can't remeber when you enter the park which side is NC and which side is SC, which state is Fury in??

[Geauga Dog]

Walking into the park Fury would be to the right which is North Carolina.

[Brassinthegrass]

True, but the state line is that center white line on the walkway directly in front of the gate, so everything east of that is in SC!

and I always thought South Carolina was south of North Carolina

On the webcam...it looks to appear some different lighting for the supports for the lift hill. They keep doing funky stuff flashing green and white and idk. Go check it out on the webcam.

[tarheel1231]

I think it's part of the lighting package.

[pproteinc]

yea it's part of the lighting package. i think its suppose to go throughout the ride similar to Banshee's blue and magenta lighting. Dont quote me on it tho.

Haha! Too late!

From Mike Fehnel's Twitter. Pretty nice, eh?

[ThemeParkJunkie51290]

Riding this coaster at night is going to feel GREAT!

[drummermattk]

I think Carowinds took note of what KI did with Banshee and the lights no pun intended

Love the lighting in that photo. Looks amazing.

 

I do really wish that they would add some lights to the metal beams under the walkway. If they were to put bright green lights on these like they have on the station it would look amazing!! ... Or have they already done this, or said they were going to do this and I am just missing something?? (Photo from POV on TPR's YouTube)

Lights on those would look amazing at night.

Like this?

 

 

 

I'm sure they've thought of it, as the station already has that:

 

[Brassinthegrass]

I almost wish they did it on the outside of the beams, so the rest of the underside of the bridge was green and the actual tunnel appeared dark.

 

I love the pulsating green and white. This thing is going to be extremely photogenic!!

Cedar Fair is really stepping their game up! And I'm glad! Banshee was amazing. Fury 325 is going to be amazing. The company is really taking things in a new direction since Matt took over. He's bringing so much to these parks and the future is certainly looking bright. I can't wait to see what 2016 is going to bring!

Like Carowinds BIG! Trying to set itself away from the "like" categories...

(but if it was to be compared I would think something like whats being pumped throughout all the parks lately)
