General Carowinds discussion

That's the approach I've really started to take. It's an amusement park with roller coasters, and it's fun to just go and have fun, like you said.

Carowinds has come a long way, and it's not a bad park.

Carowinds would suck if we didn't have Top Gun... now that ride makes the park twice as good.

I just think that they need a coaster higher then 115ft. I dont know if it has something to do with the airport being near by or what but geez something needs to be done.

Building a coaster over 115ft. is the LAST thing I hope the park gets around to. There are to many other problems that need to be taken care of before we go on to building huge rides.

Not as a whole, I mean the park itself is semi-decent. But there are areas in which the park can use improvement. (That do not involve rides)

if they want a really big coaster,they can get intamin! they could make a Superman:The Escape Clone! lol you think it's too close to the airport to make a 415 ft tall tower?

Defend the park all you want but they still need something taller then 115ft. I would be happy with 140ft but they will not build it. It isnt so much as the size eather it is the way they are built they get old after a while unlike the coasters at pki.

they probably haven't built somthing taller than 115 ft is cause they don't have enough money,IMO about everybody that lives up north has more money.

Since we all know everyone just loves PKI's tallest coaster...

No Way, Just look at Disney!

When you say up north, your just thinking about Cedar Point and PKI, not all the other parks. Cedar Point just has alot of money because it gets alot of visitors a year. I also think that PKI's coasters are cheaper and there aren't as many than carowinds, after all, they don't even have a B&M. Now I not talking about the SOB, that's an exception.

What are you talking about? Up north the cost of living is a lot higer! Not to mention the cost of land.
