A.S.Coasters

I'm with this, though it would be more of I miss DT and don't miss WC as much.

I agree with some of this, when I was at the park in 2010 I think Carowinds as a whole was lacking flat rides. Intimidator is equal with Diamondback in my book because Timmy has all the theming, it feels more varied in elements, but Diamondback is in the woods, has a great station and a splashdown. Also, ther is more theming to Diamondback than you seem to think. Splashdown (snake passing through water, rocks around the water too), a nice wood station (similar to what you would find where a Diamondback is), the epic trains (with a Diamondback head and even fangs), and of course the sign.

I think this is funny because The Beast always has an hour long line when ever I go, while Flight Deck is less than 10 minutes.

This is news to me, I hear them everytime I'm at the park!

Outer Hank's, and eating on the dock or somewhere around it.

Is that water? Oh I miss this ride, after one ride on it and watching it multiple times i really do like it.

Ancient to some people.

Riding Diamondback again after 6 months, and of course the extra ERT rides.

I wish, I actually hoped this is what Diamondback would be when track peices were showing up long before the announcement.

I've known about it for a while now, almost went there once but never did. I've also been on a few rides there, since a lot of them have rotated to a fair in northern Ohio that I've been to.

I don't like it, the screaming is just annoying.

Even if it had a third train the wait would be horrible, the main reason it's always so long is that the mechanism that lays the cars back in the stations always has problems.

Yeah but the roof looks to be at a steeper angle in the older picture.

Funniest I've heard is that Kings Island is closing.

It looks like it's running much smoother, but I hope they paint the new wood to match the rest.

If I had to trade anything at all it would be Congo Falls for Dominator.

It looks as if they completely remade the roof.

Right out of the hammerhead in the valley going into the 3rd camel back is pretty much always shaky, but not enough to bother me. It also gives the ride a little more character.

This.

Great pictures, thank you for posting!

1. Why is everyone out to get rid of Flight Deck? It's pretty fun and it never has a long line. 2. Uh, no. Carowinds' Vortex is easily one of the best standups out there, coming from someone who has been on a few of them.

^Have you not noticed that they seem to have broken that rule this year? Nothing new this year that is red (coaster wise)

Same here, I could hear at least 5 groups of people from states all over, some at least 10 hours from here, asking why the ride they came for was closed.

There is no seat belt.

Everything, really. But I chose atmosphere because walking around the park just feels so natural, especially over by the Backlot and Coney Mall area.
