Crosshairs007 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Carowinds has released a blog update about Blue Ridge Junction and Copperhead Strike. The theming looks good.

prozach626 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The launch barn is nearing completion and the Miami River Lumber Company would be proud. Inside the barn, you'll get a glimpse of Granny's jam-making operation. You may even learn a few things about her secret recipe. Â ^^One of those things that makes this interest feel juvenile. Other than that, Copperhead Strike looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The park has released a new BLOG post and it really gets you excited for the coaster and the new area and shows off some theme elements! Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppedup Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It's a shame the live cam is so bad at Carowinds. Would love to watch when this thing starts testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Nerd alert, but I am very glad the seat belts (as we expect from Cedar Fair) clip in front like a typical shoulder harness rather than a lap belt. This should make operations much smoother. Also love the colors and this whole coaster in general! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Ooh, pretty. Looks similar to Time Traveler's seats, and those are very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Interesting video. I think I can see that train lean, but it's tint so it ain't easy to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedup Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 How often is the southern gate open? And does it ever open early enough for ERT? It is a lot closer to Copperhead Strike. I went six times last year and I never even checked to see if it was open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went six times last year and I never even checked to see if it was open. Â I've been to the park maybe 10 times. The only day that the lot looked slightly busy was my first time there which was the day Thunder Run closed and that was the only time I've ever seen the South gate open. I assume they only use it on super busy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yawetag Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Used it last year to enter the park at opening time on a day I wouldn't consider "busy". Â I'm going to call a couple days before to see if they're planning on using the South Entrance on season pass night and/or Opening Weekend.

Canobie Coaster Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Did the park announce they were removing their river rapids ride? I just noticed the giant void on the 2019 map where it once stood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Curious where you're viewing the 2019 map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestreak Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Curious where you're viewing the 2019 map. Â On their socials. Â Getting rid of the rapids ride gives a lot of room for a great ride. GCI maybe? But, that being said a park in a state as hot as the Carolinas shouldn't be without a water ride IMHO. But we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 It's not gone . . . at least in its current form. It's just sitting and waiting on "confirmation". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I personally wasn't a fan of the rapids ride, but it had the longest line by far when I visited in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pproteinc Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Maybe they will either build a new rapids or log flume in Dinos area when they go extinct?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwee Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Maybe they're retheming it like Knott's is doing to their rapids ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
