There was a hammer game in front of the bumper cars. Is it still there? If not, that might explain what you found there.

[FamousAmos]

From what I saw today (if I remember correctly) it was removed and no longer there.

I remember the hammer game, I'm talking maybe something was there before the bumper cars came to county fair im talking historical Carowinds.

Before the County Fair(and Thunder Road), the C&C Railroad was there and the Short Line Railroad(Snoopy's Junction). Bumper Cars are original to the County Fair.

Me too, hopefully we still get the European Wave Swinger next year.

Yea we're getting I think I saw the center device that lifts the swings up and a bunch of chains. The only flat missing is the breakdance. I hope the #voteFourmore hashtag doesn't mean we're only getting the four flats vs getting four more added attraction along with the five flats. I'll stay optimistic to the latter.

[deaconnor]

Doesnt the #votefourmore mean vote for four more years in office?

There is no office of mayor of Carowinds, it's just part of the marketing teasing for the future.

[deaconnor]

Yeah but people are reading into the meaning of that for the attractions when it probably is just talking about the fictitious mayor's term.?

[RollerBee]

The mayor has been a walk around character since 2014 atleast. Granny and the young lady in the dress showed up at the same time. Deputy Danger is new to me this year. Originally I mainly seen them around Harmony Hall but as of my visit this Carowinds had an opening routine involving them. Is it possible the whole vote four more is just being used to see if the visitors like the characters?
Of course while tying them into the teasers....

Welcome home Deaconnor!

It's almost certainly both, which is why they are emphasizing it so much with the hash tags and everything. There would not be so much of a focus on the slogan if it didn't have a deeper meaning.

Pretty sad today is my first visit to Carowinds this year. At least it's Sunday and almost finished my first ride on everything.
Plenty of paint to be seen. No app for my phone, bboo hoo.

I worked a double today so it's possible that I may have seen you at some point. I was at Scrambler, Vortex, and Slingshot all day.
