Now, since roller coaster count used to be a primary marketing message at the Point, the big debate will probably be whether Pipe Scream counts as CP's 17th roller coaster.

I was thinking of that as well malem! It is just a guess, but since KI counts theirs in their coaster count, I think CP would too!

Lol...dem KI fanboys be like...

They took our ride...

I did kinda go "oh shii" when I saw that haha

Wait a minute... does this mean we get our eagles 20 years from now?...

Still never have ridden a ride like that, what is it like...and what is this snapping I keep seeing a reference to?

8 years later and ya'll are still upset over the loss of Flyers...the Carowinds fans are enjoying them.

Interesting additions, will be interested in watching the construction, as usual.

IF this blacktop is to be removed, and that's still in my boon an IF...I would so something exciting to remove it...

Why do all the concrete back ho, front loader, break it up kinda stuff...

Psh...explosives...or laserbeams...why not both

Controlling your tub in a way so you have slack in your cable, and then the slack is pulled out by the ride being in motion.

Sort of like someone trying to throw you off a tube being pulled by a boat!

I've only ridden the KI version many years ago. I also have an aversion to anything that spins too much, so I never rode them much (actually once I was convinced to ride them, I found they didnt' make me sick, then they were removed) and I'm not completely familiar w/ the "snap" that people talk about/love. From what I understand, the newer versions are significantly tougher, if not impossible to snap like the old KI (current Carrowinds) version, which is why I think you see a lot of people mention that they want new ones for Carowinds, and KI to get their version back, rather than just installing new ones at KI. There is a thread around here somewhere that shows the snapping action and talks about pretty indepth. I think it was sometime early this spring or last winter.

Not that debate again...

Tomorrow, tomorrow...

Terp, who is ON topic.
