Or maybe Terpy is scouting the competition. I am going to take his responses from the questions he answered and dare make the interfence that Terp is either directly or indirectly a well standing employee(loose term) of the amusement park industry with a significant importance. Therefore with his knowledge combined with his opinion(again loose term) of Kentucky Kingdom, they felt Terpy was someone they had the right to refuse service to. Welcome to the escorted off club!

Denying a negative rumor.... Normally not a good thing to do, or even comment on. It is normally a sign of desperation. Attention: This is your captain speaking, everyone remain calm. There is nothing wrong (with the Costa Concordia)

Carowinds calls March through Memorial Day "Preseason" with it's employees..... Some things in the park granted they are smaller things aren't always ready for Opening Weekend. I will note that our Skytower is still not open. Carolina Skytower has been non operational for 10 months since June 2014.

Oops, thanks for correction. Sorry but I think KK's best chance for a future is Waterpark Only. By the way, here is my home waterpark's pricing in Greensboro, NC. Their attendance is roughly 400,000 per year. https://www.emeraldpointe.com/plan-a-visit/tickets-and-passes?mobile_switch=mobile

$35!?! It is $60 to get in Carowinds at the gate but I know where I can get discount tickets for $39, at $35 I doubt a park the size of KK could even cover the bills. By the way, gate price at Holiday World is $73, gate price at KK is $50. Season Passes are $138(HW.com) and $110(KK.com).

The 2015 Media Overreacting to Standard Park Procedures Thread
I was at Carowinds but not on Fury at this time. I noticed Fury stopped on the lift with no riders at 7:30pm and the empty train remained there until around 8:30pm. My guess is Carowinds immediately got people off as quickly as possible. The ride reopened by 846pm and was operating normally. These rides are machines, very complex computer operated machine. A computer is only as smart as it's programmer, and the ride's computer did as programmed.

Red Track spotted at Batavia Steel Plant
Negative, Fury's lift base is more closely like the hypers. Gatekeeper has this style of lift.

Red Track spotted at Batavia Steel Plant
That one section appears to be the bottom of a lift hill however it doesn't match the same section of any exsisting B&M coaster I have found.

Suicide at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Which I feel they need to do, Carowinds has more than it's share of unsavory visitors....A few drunk teenagers on Opening Weekend talked about urinating off Drop Zone, thankfully they didnt do it probably because the harness and seatbelt kept them from getting to their johnson but still....Eww!

Suicide at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Carowinds done away with metal detectors this year. Some will argue that metal detectors are just a deterrent or a false sense of security but I offer this as my arguement: Do you lock your doors at night? Do you lock your car at ______ amusement park? False sense of security or not, I am more comfortable using my locks. Furthermore, atleast in redneck country, most everyone carries a pocketknife not for protection but because it is a useful tool that they use on a daily basis. You would be surprise how common kitchen knifes and pocket knifes were taken at Carowinds or visitors were asked to put them in their cars. On Season Pass Preview night, Carowinds didnt even do bag checks but the very next morning they were doing bag check again.

Bolliger & Mabillard: Innovative Crowd-Pleasers for the Masses or Intamin: Creating Today's Record Breakers and Thrill Machines
Thunderhead at Dollywood on the two times I rode were nearly polar opposites. One time was smooth, the other was rough but still fun. Both rides were on the day but one was wet and cold. The other was sunny and between cold and warm.
