Looking at this... not really sure where this is... I haven't been since Sunday so couldn't tell ya.

I do know there was a lot of erosion under the bathroom at Boomerang Bay that they finally plugged in with some large rocks... maybe this construction stuff has to do with that... I'm gonna take a trip down there today after work and check it out.

It does make sense though to put something on the outer side of Thunder Road... as that part of the parking lot is already used...

Here is something else though... how about moving the large picnic shelter at north gate in front of the Skytower over into all that open green land that used to house pylons for the Monorail and sticking something pretty kool there... It'll draw more people to the front of the park as well as give that same "Over the Parking Lot" feel that Top Gun does.

The 3-D thing has got to go... I rarely see people line up for that thing like they used to .

White Water Falls needs to stay though... There is just too much response of the large wave of splashing water for anyone to really think to get rid of it... Maybe get rid of the old entrance though.... Thats just taking up space.

I was at the park Thursday and noticed the new I-beam supports on Thunder Road's lift hill. I can say without a doubt FOF is not coming to Carowinds. I've ridden the ride at PKI and there is not room for it in that space. What confuses me though is, doesn't that new hole in Thunder Road's lift structure lead to a pump house/bathroom in Boomerang Bay or did it just look that way to me?

I would rather them keep the WWF que entry, it is the old Jalopies station. Save the remaining Ghosts of Carowinds' Past.

Why, does he own carowinds or something? Still no proof that a hyper is or isn't coming to carowinds.

Proof is in the Pudding they say around here. Maybe you need to step back and see what is going on.

You must have missed our bi-weekly luncheon the other week where we voted whatshisname the most gullible. Right after the vote, there was a huge lightning storm and I went up into the clouds. A few minutes later, I returned with two stone tablets that said on one side: NO HYPER IN 2007. GET OVER IT. The other one said: NO FOF. ITS NOT COMING! The tablets are on display near PR office.

See, I try to share what little I do to know keep some of these highly ridiculous threads and chatter down. Chill people. Enjoy Life. Don't over analyze everything.

No, I don't own Carowinds. If I did, we'd had a hyper a long time ago. I don't want to say I have connections to what's going on. But, if I need some info, I can usually find it out. Trust me, I sit on a lot of info that I don't post on here. I'd hate to see some of the threads if it did get out.

I can tell you right now a hyper isn't coming to the park. Much less FOF.

I wouldn't call it BS...just too much wishful thinking. Can't blame a person for that though.

How do you know a hyper isn't coming to the park though. You haven't given me any proof showing that one is or isn't coming to Carowinds.

Well after talking to an important woman...or man ;) yesterday I was told it is NOT a hyper coaster comming to the park, its a giga...duh (and it was said in the tone of a rich valley high teen girls voice lol :lol: ) Can the park do some mantiance construction and it not be for a coaster? Parks generally know by this time of year and even earlier and stuff does "leak" out if someing large was comming to the park because we all know the parks like to get that buzz out and about but in my heart of hearts I dont think anything major major is comming to the park next year, well of course other than me but you know what im talking about...

Thanks. So, if you are able to get info pretty easily can you tell us what is coming next year then?

If he did that then that would probably be the last information he ever got.

The saying that applies here is:

"Those who talk - don't know. Those who know - don't talk."

When the park wants everyone to know what's going on, they'll issue a press release.

You are correct. None of us actually know what is and isn't coming next year. It could be a hyper, it could not be. The fact is that we will all find out when a press release is issued.
