I dare say there is a no more stratacoasters have been built.

I have to say it's not likely, but I would not rule it out. The reason being Carowinds is attempting to be the Cedar Point of the south. You need more than Intimidator to achieve that.

Top Thrill Dragster of the south in the parking lot next to Thunder Road? I can dream right? lol


A dream? More like a nightmare. I personally hope they never put anything like TTD at Carowinds.

And they won't. The GM said he couldn't see that kind of ride here when someone foolishly brought it up on Saturday. Probably because he prefers to invest in rides that work.

What difference does it make if a ride has a long line due to downtime or because carowinds prefers running 1 train on many coasters.

I didnt have any problems with TTD when I visited Cedar Point. But if one of the people making the decisions says its not gonna happen, its not gonna happen. With that ruled out my guess for next coaster is a B&M Floorless or Wingrider.

Simple, money. Repairing a ride costs money just like getting your car repaired.

It appears that when you get on carowinds.com one of the home page slides has a smartphone code scanner....thing, on it. The idea surrounding it is the wright bros blueprint? But after I scanned it, it took me to a page that said "mouthless mutters" could this be a HUSS GF theme?

The funtimes newsletter has one too, it takes you to different clue. They form a riddle, the answer to riddle makes me think it ain't hinting towards a giant frisbee.

By the looks of it....it sounds more like its hinting towards the new scarowinds maze??

Those are two lines from Gollum's Riddle in The Hobbit. The answer to the riddle is Wind.

NNNNNNNNOOOOOO, I got beat to it. Anyway the full riddle is: Voiceless it cries wingless flutters toothless bites mouthless mutters?

So what does Wind + Wright Bros. + Carowinds 2012 equal?

Windseeker? Anyone rode one? Are they more exciting than look?

Yeah Windseeker sounds right, but the trio that opened this year have had so many problems that I can't get excited for ours
