What ride replaced Trabant?

Carolina Cyclone was going to be removed for Flight of Fear...... I think Cyclone's days are numbered again but I don't think Cedar Fair will save her this time. Poor Cyclone has developed a wobble that I find extremely concerning.

Racer is third consistently..... In 2006, Thunder Road was number 1. I wish Carowinds released this information.

http://www.cincinnati.com/story/entertainment/2015/09/08/kings-island-wurlitzer-band-organ-carousel/71642452/ Is this the article refered to? This article tells me something about maintenance budgets at Cedar Fair, but as we all know the media may or may not be presenting one side of the story. Time for another cleaning?

I want to say it happened at Six Flags Great America

Didn't this happen at another park over the summer?

Let me present this idea: Would lumping thousands of visitors in a plaza outside of metal detectors not present a easy target for massive loss of life? Could it be that the parks also are interested in protecting infrastructure maybe more so than paying customers? That said I prefer to have bag checks and walk through metal detectors.

Looking at Apple maps, which the statilite image was taken during winter the splash down is empty.....of water but there appears to be dirt and mud in the bottom. Looks to me like they are too lazy to clean out the splash down pool.

Or it could be like Dinos and the Boo Blasters 3D glasses, $5 a head and $1 for a pair of PAPER glasses that don't really do diddly. However I figure it will fall in the Ripcord range($25 dollars I think).

At one point I believe they also owned my hometown park(Wet n Wild Emerald Pointe).

Is it possible they keep WWK open to keep Geauga Lake land value from freefalling?

VR died out in the 1990s..... Carowinds had several locations in the park.... They tried it again in 2002, by 2006 it was again gone.

And why can't US parks (outside of Disney/Univerisal) do up their rides like European parks do?

I wonder if any other parks would slump so low?

Yes. It's to keep people off the track...that's a lock-out area. Interesting, I have never seen anything like that on a PTC coaster before.

Nice shots, anyone know what the extra fencing(?) the curved valleys is for?

King Kobra my foot, that is Carowinds' White Lightnin' I guess even KECO reused footage.

I have used Fastlane Plus at Carowinds but I have never paid for it....... I don't have the spare change to paid for it, 90% of the time it isn't worth the cost(too short of lines) at Carowinds. That said I have seen people using it when the ride they are in line for is walk on.

Amen brother! I have more than one of theirs that are only good for frisbees!

Alabama's Splash Adventute seems to be doing good, I think Dan and Pat announced three new rides in a video a few months ago; along with remodeling a restuarant. From what I have seen looking through the Facebook, he seems very hands on with PR. Here is wishing the best chance to Holiday World and Alabama Splash Adventure.

No, but can we get a link to the coolness?

I bet all amusement parks have a mouse.....Only a few parks have ones that wear clothes.... And I ain't referring to the Disney kind..... http://polpix.sueddeutsche.com/polopoly_fs/1.1480965.1358498455!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/900x600/image.jpg ......Oh that lovely mouse-y hump......(Where is Fergie...) Hmm, KD and Knotts didn't get the hump.....

Sounds like a bait and switch to me. It ain't "All Season" if ain't good all season long. Next thing we know they will cut off the children's Halloween event. Sounds like another good reason to not renew Carowinds Season Passes to me.

The Disneyland Railroad is also closing for up to a year. http://touringplans.com/disneyland-resort/closures Personally I think a Marvel/Star Wars makeover of Tomorrowland would be better. Tomorrowland has always had problems staying in the future.

I would bet anything the kid stood up.
