Carowinds Discussion Thread

^Can you please tell us what the KD coaster will be like then? It would end lots of useless speculation

[JamminJ]

Think this just a little taller, and shorter trains...

 

 

 

 

 

 

But in all seriousness..

Smaller than Millennium Force.. lots of turns. Not quite the out and back everyone is hoping for. I'm sure the KD fanboys will just call me a 'hater' since Carowinds is my home park.

[CHILLERLC1]

I'm doing a well enough job to observe each Carowinds and KD project in their own realms. I am thrilled for Carowinds actually much more than for KD.

[The Alex]

The label on page 26 does not match the footer numbers at Carowinds. I'm telling you that the leaving of the label in the open was on purpose. KD does not have a large enough area cleared for a GIGA. I'm not saying they are moving track, however, what if KD did not get a Giga and Carowinds does? No moving of track. Could be interesting.

 

You're... you're kidding, right? Right?? Doing this is, like they've said above, completely illogical and a waste of time and money. It's not going to happen. KD is getting the Intamin that is being delivered to the park. They won't be moving the track to another park. End of story.

 

Who said anything about moving coasters or tracks. I just said don't be banking on a Giga until it is announced.

 

 

How about we end this at "Carowinds and KD are both getting new roller coasters for the 2010 season, and it's gonna be TOTALLY AWESOME" ?

[netdvn]

All I'm gonna say is you've got to be kidding me. KD's getting a Giga coaster whether Carowinds likes it or not...

 

BTW: Check out this awesome video of the possible new ride concept that I found on YouTube. I heard that it was gonna have a heartline roll.

 

[Théo the little french]

Errr..... is that normal your youtube link shows us a video of Maverick?!

[Homeboy23]

^ It is an ongoing joke on this board that the heartline roll that was supposed to be on Maverick will show up on any new coaster that is talked about here.

[coolcalicoaster]

^We know. That joke is old and unfunny at this point.

[alpengeist04]

I think this is just a case of sour grapes thinking its not fair for them to get a Hyper when their "Sister" park is getting a Giga.

 

"But why does Amy get a 20 oz pop (cola, soda, whatever you say) when I only get a 12 oz.?!?!?!"

 

More like one park getting an Intamin and the other probably getting a B&M.

[coolcalicoaster]

^I bet I know which park is getting the Intamin and who is getting the B&M!

For all the Carowinds fanboys, remember that many people, for some strange reason, like Nitro better than MF. Therefore, you might be getting a better ride when all is said and done. No matter what, you are getting a new coaster

[alpengeist04]

^The key words being, "for some strange reason".

 

Seriously, I'm sure both coasters will be very good and they'll both be close enough to do in the same trip, so for most of us it shouldn't really matter who's getting what.

[Wood Dragon 1988]

I think I like all the B&M megas I've done better than Millennium Force, so I wouldn't complain too much either way.

[lilj4425]

More and more footers are going in. Update pics from FSUNolez and Wormy can be seen here on page 125: http://www.carowindsconnection.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2601&start=1860

[nomorefloor]

IF Carowinds were to get a b&m hyper i see that giant horseshoe looking thing as being the water splash area and to the left of the huge footer it looks like the maintenance building to me. (but that doesn't look right if the footer is a lift hill support) I might be way off but its just my two cents.

[atem122]

I have a feeling it's gonna be another Beheback airtime machine, while I'm sure they are fun and do draw a great crowd, they do seem uncreative, I think a great hyper coaster should have a good mix of airtime hills and transitions

 

Edit: \ / we all know I came up with it first, hell you questioned me at first on why I thought the two were pretty much the same ride, so HA

[Dietcokevan]

^Yep. I now you stole my idea with Beheback!

[Jds03]

Well I'm going with Diamondmoth, so HA!

[coolcalicoaster]

^and ^^ Now those are some hilarious names!!!! I started laughing out loud!

[lankanboy101]

If it is a Hyper coaster, could it possibly a Goliabull (twisted) instead of a Nitroback (airtime)

[fisher1095]

^ It may be a Behebull (both airtime and twister)

[HCLcoasters]

I'm praying that CF doesn't go the way of six flags and make this a parking lot coaster.

[fisher1095]

I'm almost positive they will tear it up and landscape it... Hopefully...

[atem122]

^The cleared area for Dback wasnt landscaped

[Guest]

Nitro is better than MF. End of discussion. (What discussion. There was none.) Lol. MF has just the drop. Airtime is where?

[COASTER FREAK 11]

^The cleared area for Dback wasnt landscaped

 

...It was also already going through a forest, not a parking lot.
