^Oh yea...if anybody should know about the Mason-Dixon line, it should be me

Where in the park is the announcement going to be made?

 

Does it matter? The park is closed and only media will be attending.

^^Yes it does. All the KD fanbois need to know when to start saying how jealous they are of Carowinds.

[Afterburn117]

^ You're right. I've seen the layout for i305, and it is made of mostly banked turns, maybe 2 small air time hills? I hope our coaster barely has any similarities to i305.

All the KD "fanbois" have been enjoying Apollo's Chariot an hour away for the last 10 years!

^^ So far I've tried...

 

- CW: HYPER

- Carowinds: hyper

- Carowinds: coaster

- CW: B&M

- CW: coaster

 

Nothing seems to be working. I wonder if anyone will be able to crack the code before the announcement (unless the site isn't activated yet).

Just for the fun of it I went in and tried many different username and passwords and did not have any luck. I guess Carowinds wanted to make it harder than KD.

The two huge racing tires aren't a hint or anything.

^No way lol. I cant wait for the announcement. Then we can all argue again about the restraints like with Intimidator 305

Argument about B&M restraints? I don't think so.

Where in the park is the announcment going to be made?

 

Carowinds Theatre

My final thoughts on the layout.

 

I hope you all enjoyed my sketches the last few months. They have only been "guesses" I never had an official layout submitted to me by the park.

 

Enjoy!

You never know lol

[Hercules]

^ I know! I shouldn't speak so soon! However, in all seriousness, I just see a lot of knocking on the "same" B&M elements and boring layout. And then also more knocking on the marketing of the ride.

 

^^ I have to say I would pretty much agree with something close to that. I can see something 230 feet, but around 80mph or so.

[coasterfan21]

^ Ya I agree with you, that the layout will be the number one thing people will jump to complain about. (Its to short, it looks like every other B&M, I was expecting more, ect.)

 

Also 230ft, 80mph, seems to be a safe guess seeing as though its a B&M hyper. ("Crossing my fingers" maybe B&M breaks their 230 ft barrier.)

 

We will all find out for sure tomorrow.

[Hercules]

^ Yeah, I don't understand why expectations just go through the roof.

 

To each their own, but, I have a 230 foot B&M 40 minutes from me, and I'm extremely happy to ride it over and over again.

[snapp0420]

I am pretty much be happy with getting a new coaster period. But would love it to be something cool

[coasterfan21]

^^ Lol Don't forgot the 6"

 

Well then lets call it the 230ft stereotype.

[PKI Jizzman]

I'm curious to see what this turns out to be after hearing things.

[Afterburn117]

Sorry if this has already been answered, but how are we sure this is a hyper we are getting?
