The surprise is so secretive, even Paramount doesn't know what it is. :unsure:

Here it is mid-October and nothing official has even been released on the parks website. I can't recall any time in the recent past where the park has waited this long to announce the next years attractions. It's obvious they are still fine tuning the press release.

Yeh, and this is the quote from the Oct. 6 newsletter:

"That's not all! Plenty of surprises are in store, so be on the lookout for all the details of this monumental project that's sure to make 2005 the best year ever for kids and families at Paramount's Carowinds!"

So, like I said, the park still hasn't ironed out the "surprises" yet.

I hope they did not have those stupid seatbelts I had to wear!


Poor Poor PKI. What will they do without those scooters. The nerve of Paramount, pulling out scooters to put in a state of the art coaster.

I mean they took our boat and gave us Borg. Now they are giving us Scooters with an all new AS. I usually don't care for hand-me-downs but I ain't complaining about what we got yet.

I've heard that they can be quite the ride! Appearances can be deceiving. I've heard lots of good things about the one at Knoebels. Downdraft at Knoebels didn't look like it'd amount to anything. But, it was the highlight of PPP for me that year.

I think I been on one it feels like an earthquake does it? Because in gatlinburg they have a ride called Earthquake. It is an indoor ride. Anyone ridden it before.
