I know that consistent theming throughout any Cedar Fair park is not really a thing, but I'd personally love to see the park make an effort to unite different sections of the park under themes that aren't as loose.
My ideas:
- Carolina Harbor and Planet Snoopy would not change since they're the only areas of the park with very cohesive theming throughout.
- County Fair would be renamed to Classic Carolinas. I don't think a whole lot about this area would need to change since it's the most cohesive area in the park apart from the other two I've mentioned. Very old-timey feel.
- I'd love to see Thrill Zone get a futuristic/dystopian theme. Fury 325 already fits that sort of theme, and it wouldn't be difficult to retheme Drop Tower and Hurler likewise. Additionally, the diner could become a restaurant themed to a refuge area for "survivors." If done right, I think a lot of people would have fun buying into that sort of concept.
- Carolina Boardwalk can stay the same, although I'd love to see some additional landscaping (and perhaps a retheme of Cyclone) tying the area together.
- I suppose Carowinds Plaza can stay the same as well, but moreso because it would be difficult to unite that entire area under one common theme. The best I can think of is an America theme to accommodate Intimidator and the Skytower, but we'd already have three areas themed to the Carolinas, so I think having another similar area would be pretty redundant.
- I'm not sure what I'd retheme Carolina Showplace to. If Vortex does end up being converted, I'd like to see the surrounding area fall under the same sort of theming Vortex would have. Definitely something more original than another Carolina theme, though.
- Finally, RFD is a weak theme, possibly the weakest in the park at the moment. Adding almost any sort of stronger theme would be an improvement. Maybe a jungle theme to accommodate Carolina Cobra? The park could add more palm trees and additional landscaping to this section, and being right next to the waterpark, a jungle theme wouldn't be too out of place.
