Carowinds Discussion Thread

^^And yet, he also stated that retheming Avalanche Run was his biggest mistake (prior to TTD).

 

Go figure...

EDIT: Record-breaking, history making... I'm pretty stumped with this one. Maybe the tallest, fastest, B&M Hyper?

 

I bet the record-breaking part of this ride will be the tallest fastest coaster in two states.

[fisher1095]

^ That, or tallest in the south.

^Since Dick Kinzel has stated TTD was the biggest business mistake he has ever made, I HIGHLY doubt they would invest in a double-TTD for Carowinds. If its a racing coaster, I don't think it will be made by B&M or Intamin.

 

A 200 ft. racing version of Exelerator could always be a possibility...why does everyone assume that if it's an intamin launcher it has to top 400 + feet?

We don't build anything without a reason: http://www.whitelightning.carowinds.com/uc.jpg Might take a while to load. Reload it several times if needed.

Hmm, Interesting.

 

So I guess the name is white Lightning. What does the new coaster have to do with a shuttle loop? I am young so I don't really know the significance of the ride, the original White Lightning.

Welcome to Cedar Fair's world. The coaster will probably have no white on it either.

The new ride has nothing to do with a shuttle loop. It's the theme that the park wants to bring back. It all has to do with moonshine and Nascar. White Lightning = Nickname for Moonshine. It all makes alot of sense.

That's a very interesting find. How did you find it?

^ So, she'll ride a 90-foot 4 times inverting Arrow, but not the smallest coaster in the park? Weird...

[robbalvey]

I have merged the Carowinds 2010 coaster and the Carowinds Fan Thread to create the "Carowinds Discussion Thread."

^ Will there be a new thread for when the announcement comes on the 26th, or are you going to change the name again to the "Official White Lightning Thread"?

Honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about.

When the topics were merged, that post I was referring to was pushed back a few pages. Sorry. Looking at it now, it's kind of funny.

Ohh...no wonder I was confused.

Did anyone else notice how the cutout in the wall looks like the Windows logo? And the person in the room has a fantastic new vista to look at?? I GOT IT!! Windows Vista - The Ride. Guaranteed to blue-screen your day!

 

[kingsdominionlvr]

Ha ha, and sneaky Carowinds thought they could keep the name under wraps. I bet Dick Kinzel must be very mad right now.

[lilj4425]

More and more footers. New pics on page 157 from Wormy on CarowindsConnection: http://www.carowindsconnection.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2601&start=2340

[fisher1095]

These footers are most likely for the train shed, right?

[nitrofan]

^Wow, they've done a lot since the last update I've seen!

I noticed that too. Maybe window's is sponsoring the ride?
