Like Trev32 said, The Carolinas is small parks country: <a href='http://tweetsie.com/' target='_blank'>Tweetsie Railroad</a>, <a href='http://www.jeepers.com/' target='_blank'>Jeepers at Concord Mills</a>, <a href='http://www.santaslandnc.com/' target='_blank'>Santa's Land</a>, <a href='http://www.mbpavilion.com/' target='_blank'>The Pavilion</a>, <a href='http://www.family-kingdom.com/' target='_blank'>and Family Kingdom</a> are the ones I know of, is there more? (Other than Ghost Town)

We need more big parks, though I'm not sure if the area could support them. Maybe Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach will get off the ground soon.

I can't see the fanfare lasting as long, but also Top Gun was the first major coaster for a long time up to that point. I think Hurler had been the last one before TG? Maybe I'm wrong.

I love both coasters, and hope this is the best year ever for Carowinds. I know I'll do my fair share of helping with the attendance record. lol


I also hope the Hard Rock Cafe park gets going soon.

I think Borg will be a huge success ; but, I think Top Gun will always be the number one coaster in the park. (At least until we get a hyper.)

I'm glad to see all the advertising for BA. Last night on the way to Charlotte, I noticed a billboard on 85 for Borg. "To Boldy Go Where No Coaster Has Gone Before" I believe was the slogan along with a Borg drone pictured on it.
