DBru Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 ^^And yet, he also stated that retheming Avalanche Run was his biggest mistake (prior to TTD). Go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisher1095 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 ^ That, or tallest in the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 ^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?

Cavs Fan Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am young so I don't really know the significance of the ride, the original White Lightning. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiSab Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Did anyone else notice how the cutout in the wall looks like the Windows logo?

kingsdominionlvr Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Ha ha, and sneaky Carowinds thought they could keep the name under wraps. I bet Dick Kinzel must be very mad right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
