Carowinds Discussion ThreadP. 935: Copperhead Strike construction photos posted!Users viewing this topic: No registered users and 21 guests Re: Carowinds Discussion ThreadI don't believe Carowinds (or CF for that matter) are going to go with a launched RMC anytime soon. With it being relatively close to Dollywood, I don't see the point (same with a Wing Coaster). I could see them going with Gerstlauer (launched Infinity), Premier or Mack who seem to be more reliable as of late. And of course who wouldn't want an Intamin Blitz (my preference for a launch)? I guess we'll find out in the next few months what's coming when the signs are more telling. Still believe however this will be GCI.
Coaster Count: 128

"B&M will NEVER build a coaster over 300 ft..." until 2012
"Cedar Fair will NEVER build a coaster taller than MF..." until 2015 Re: Carowinds Discussion ThreadI'm thinking that Carowind's next coaster is either a GCI or a dive coaster.

Steel:38 Wood:8 Re: Carowinds Discussion Thread1. I don’t think Hurler is getting RMC’d anytime soon. The KD one was because it was in terrible shape and was in a dead area of the park. Carowinds’s is relatively smooth and provides a solid family coaster experience.
2. If this is a 2019 project it will probably be either a GCI or a raptor. With a dive being all but confirmed for Canada’s Wodnerland, Cedar Fair would likely build something less expensive in the same year (plus with Kanonen possibly coming to Dorney too, idk). And it would be a great fit. They need a really good woodie now that Thunder Road passed on. Jim Reid Anderson’s daddy.

Re: Carowinds Discussion ThreadVortex is not getting converted. Geez let it go.
Re: Carowinds Discussion Thread
And you know this how? Did the dipping dots guy give you some inside knowledge? Dude, Cedar Fair has been on a mission to rid themselves of stand up coasters. Common sense should tell you the last one is getting it too. Re: Carowinds Discussion ThreadI am 100% for Vortex getting converted because it would go from a terrible coaster to a moderately fun ride.
I'm an accountant that's obsessed with roller coasters
