The ride is being moved to near the Vortex and restored.  Looks like they are taking the time to truly celebrate this treasured ride.

Hopefully, the Flying Scooter at Carowinds is relocated within the park as well.  I believe they removed it as part of their new Camp Snoopy additions.

Correct, Flyers has been removed. Carowinds says Flyers will be installed near the 2017 Rides but no permits have been filed for Flyers. Carousel and all other Camp Snoopy rides have permits for changes and new installs. 

I heard they were going back to the new County Fair area. That was during haunt. Plans could have changed.

I don't visit Carowinds a ton, but I really am loving seeing the transformation of this park each time I go back.

I'll be visiting this year for the first time since 2014, so it will have changed a lot for me.

Honestly @JubJester my first visit was in 2010....the visit after that was in 2015....that transformation that the park saw between those two seasons was amazing. Even seeing the transformation from 2015 to 2016 and then from 2016 to 2017 was pretty amazing in my eyes.

That's amazing.

You just made the anticipation for going back even greater .

Carowinds confirmed today that Flyers will not operated for the 2018 and will remain in storage. 

Steve Jackson(I forget this title) claims Flyers will reopen in 2019. 

That sucks!!!!!

Can we have them back until they're ready to install them again at Carowinds?

@malem you got it wrong....

 

Can we have them back period?

I sense the beginnings of a ridiculous @malem multi-vehicle road trip plan to haul it back.  

It will take Carowinds years to restore the Carousel close to original condition and undo the abomination that Paramount Parks did to the poor Carousel in ONE offseason.  I was really hoping that Carowinds could repaint and restore the Carousel all in one winter but now I am hopeful that Carowinds will take their time and make our PTC Carousel look like a proper PTC Carousel not a modern fiberglass one. 

 

Back to the Flyers, I said back in August when the announcement came that wouldn’t believe Flyers was being relocated until I seen the permits. I did see the permits but the state of SC didn’t approve the permits to relocate the Flyers. 

So now that Carowinds says they are supposed to reinstall Flyers in 2019 I worry that they are just trying to keep the fans calm and hope we forget about the Flyers. Similar to how Disneyland did the Rocket Rods and Subimarine Voyage; two very different endings to similar stories. 

So now could be the best chance we have,  at getting our Flyers back?  I'm all for it, come on back home to KI!

Ki needs these flyers back, 

Was there already a discussion about why the permits were denied that I missed?
