Before Disney had it in their mobile app, I used an app from one of the sites that does customized "attack plans" for the Disney parks based on various criteria. It gave crowd-sourced wait times which seemed pretty accurate and sometimes a bit different than what the wait boards at the rides said. When I'd see that waits were getting longer in Magic Kingdom for a variety of rides but Epcot or Studios had short waits, off to the bus / monorail I'd go since I had Parkhopper. It was quite nice to have, as I went during a time the Brazilian tour groups were pretty heavy, and when several groups of 50-150 teenage girls line up for rides at the same time it can shoot wait times up quickly. I'd try to go wherever they weren't.

While you can't park-hop at Carowinds, etc., it would be nice to see what the waits are for rides at the other side of the park, or to know not to walk over to Afterburn when it's not running, etc.

Is it possible it was just sealer? Seemed to be going too quick and with too little equipment to be new asphalt.

It looks like it was just re-sealed to me. They are painting the new lines now.

Then it would be like BGW. Nothing like walking around that park and feeling the burn in your legs. :lol:

Does anyone know why the drop off lot was closed today? The sign said to use the bus lot. Is it because the drop off lot gets so crazy?

Hmm, it was also closed the last time I went, which was a Saturday.

One of my friends who works at Carowinds just posted this on FB.

^ I wonder if this is for a show or just unique characters walking around the park. I'm hoping for the latter as it seems like a fun idea. :D

I hope the Brass Brigade plays the Carowinds March. That'd be cool to hear while I'm roaming the midways.

I actually enjoyed the characters (the mayor, wife and daughter) in front of harmony hall. they were hilarious and brought I sense of the old carowinds atmosphere back.
