Looking at the front gate cam this morning it looks like they either are not doing bag checks or they are doing them at the front gate now. I noticed a lot of people crowed together all morning right at the front gate.

I also noticed they put new big sign on the road before the toll plaza stating their prohibition of concealed weapons (they need to do that to legally prohibit folks with concealed carry permits from being able to carry in the park). The numbers of the permits being issued is big, and growing faster and faster. I'm guessing they've had few too many guns getting into the park , so they've really had to start the heavier security at the entrance.



How do they know guns are getting into the park? If people are indeed carrying a concealed weapon correctly, no one would ever see it.

So what's this "new restraint" thing I keep hearing about on Carolina Cyclone? Has anyone noticed a difference? I haven't ridden it yet so I'm wondering if anyone has noticed this.

Hmm, Cyclone's trains have never changed in any way other than paint that I know of. Well the seat belts too, maybe that is what they mean.
I checked the Wayback Machine and it was added at somepoint between when you seen it and last year. I can't narrow it down past that yet.

Nothing has changed same train same painful restraints. They must've been talking about the seatbelts maybe but I could've sworn those have been on them for at least 4yrs.

Well Thunder Road's line is up the ramp almost to the entrance but one side operating soooo yea.
