General Carowinds discussion

I posted the intro on my fb page. I used some music and short clips of arriving at the park (it's under 1:50 long). Then the next 2 minutes is whatever. The rest of the video is the announcement itself. When Mike started talking, my camera kept dying (there's something wrong with it actually and I will be replacing it), so I had to switch to my old camera for the rest of the day (you'll notice the color change). I even included our sneak peek of the Cirque show (6 minutes by itself).

I'll be uploading it today, it should be completely up by late tonight or tomorrow morning.

I'm a bit confused about some of the information on the new carolina harbor website. First, they talk about one of the wave pools in terms of sq. footage and the other in terms of gallons held. So is the new wave pool larger, smaller, the same size? I know the waves are going to be larger. Secondly, the new kids splash zone they made a big deal about the large 423 gallon drop bucket, but the page lists the bucket at the old splash zone as being 1,000 gallons? Is this right? Or are they replacing that with a newer structure as well? If so, why is it larger that the new new structure? Lastly, Sand Dune Lagoon, not sure what it was formerly called, but I never one saw it open? Unless you count birds and a bored looking worker. Why are they all of the sudden touting it as an attraction for kids, yet it is fairly far from the new 2 acre kids area? It seems silly to have a new all kids ( family ) area, and yet have two big attractions that are mainly for kids or families so far from the new 2 acre area. That is all, thanks for any input, also gotta say I'm glad the I hate carowinds BS as calmed down. Jeez, I've never seen such crap being spewed because someone didn't get another record breaking coaster in back to back years. Also Universal is great, but get over it, they are not the same type of park at all.... I'll gladly accept a park without someone like you and your family ruining it for me and my family by complaining all the time. Good riddance.

Personally, I'd rather see them add a 3rd camera. The Fury cam lets me see how long the lines are and the gate cam gives me an idea of how crowded the park is. I honestly can't decide which one I'd rather lose.

[EDIT] Since the link for the gate cam is no longer up on the park website, I'm assuming they'll use that.

The music after it says brains? That's plants vs zombies music if that's what you are talking about. Or are you talking bout the faint music before that?
