Well this year is going to suck.......

 

Stupid oil leak in my mom's car is over $1600, so I won't be getting a season pass this year.

 

F**K!

It looks like this will be a year of almost non-stop construction for Carowinds, good for enthusiast.

[CPSFMMCW]

I wonder how early they're gonna start construction. Hopefully they'll pull off a Kings Island and start testing us at opening day!

What? I understand the construction part but you confused me on the testing part.

^ I'm sure he meant teasing us

[CPSFMMCW]

Yeah, like posting signs around teasing us with the theming, ect.

[rollerbee]

How much in park teasing did they do with Intimidator? Between, 2007 and 2011, I was unable to get to Carowinds.

[Geauga Dog]

I would think, based on previous examples of large coaster projects, we should see work begin by mid to late summer. That would be when the park starts teasing about the new ride.

[rollerbee]

Rumors are now going around confirming removal of the gokarts.

Ahh. Banshee all over What kind of coaster does Carowinds need other than a Giga?

A Volare.

[Diamondbacker27]

I doubt that

I hear those things are extremely rough and painful.

[coasterbill]

I was being sarcastic.

A launched coaster...

Never thought of that. I'm pretty sure they will get a Giga. Even though they already have Intimadator.

[rcjp]

What about a launched giga?

[rcoaster10]

^^ that would be awesome. Something like iSpeed with a 300ft top hat.

[goldsteh]

I would love to see any type of launched coaster. A launched Giga would be the ultimate.

Carowinds annouced via facebook that the season pas lot will be closed for growth amd expansion. Many fb users are quite pissed.

[megametal]

Yeah, what a bunch of whiners. Hmm. New coaster or closer parking... Seems like an easy choice to me.

[rollerbee]

I nevered parked season pass lot anyway, longer hotter boring walk. General lot has rides and shade to look at.

[raptor6]

I'm willing to bet that when the park receives a shiny, brand new coaster, that everyone will forget about the closer parking area. At Cedar Point, the very close parking lot costs $25 and I can't recall anyone complaining about it!
