Carowinds Discussion Thread

I'm honestly SHOCKED at how quickly is moving.  I expected the ride the be down for the rest of the season, but at this rate we'll probably get it back by early August.

My guess is Carowinds and B&M are ready to roll. It's probably mostly waiting on the "third party"/state inspectors to make their way to the park and give it their all clear. I'm so happy with how Carowinds has handled this. From the press releases to the actual replacement. A+ grade.

Fury is testing today with 2 trains.  That's interesting.

You no longer have to exit for the changeover to Scarowinds.  They are using the new section as a holding area.
