Afterburn is refered to as Flight Deck, All of the attractions in the waterpark still have the old names, Southern Star is listed as Frenzoid, Saturator hasn't been removed, the park has two "tallest" coasters, skyflyer's drop is listed as 50 feet(on the thrill rides page also). Also, I don't know many teens that enjoy Goldrusher.
Of course, we all know there is a better source than Carowinds.com

Gold Rusher is not a WOODEN mine train roller coaster. It's considered a steel one.

Carolina Cylcone does not have 4 360 degree loops. Two loops, two corkscrews!

Hummm...I just got back from the park and hand measured the degrees in the loops and it looks like it was 4 360 degree loops...
