Forgot this was lying around. I may have posted the raw footage in April, but little did anyone know then that Skytower coverage would be scarce for the rest of the 2014 season. Schmaltzy, I know (if for no other reason to make RollerBee cry), but in tribute to change - future, past, and most recent … cheers :D

The music really makes the video, that's for sure. When the skytower is running again next season, you'll have to make another one including Fury325--with the same music of course.

better yet have the first revolution be that video and fade into a new video of what the park looks now. I think that would be pretty cool.

That’s actually a really good idea. Someone remind me to do that in about six months. Nevermind, (note to self - do that).

Thanks!

I noticed that the Skytower train (not sure what to call it) was on the bottom of the tower yesterday during my visit. Does this mean they are in the process of getting it ready to go this season? I miss the skytower. I'm not big on traditions at the park, but the skytower would be something that I do hope that stays for a long time. It doesn't take up much space and I can't imagine Carowinds without it. I always like to ride it first when I enter the park and then go from there.

Train? You are refering to the Cabin correct? Someone said that it should be operating in April.

Cabin...that was the word that was eluding me lol. Good, I can't wait for it to be operational again. Remember how it was the tallest thing in the park for years. Now we have coasters that are taller.

Steve told me on Saturday that they were waiting on a piece that was delayed at port. It was for the cable lift on the inside of the tower. He explained exactly what it does but I can't recall it.

Was it ever fixed at the end of the season last year? I know it was broken then and they were waiting for the part. Was just wondering if this was the same thing or something different.
