Didnt soak'd come from Wet and Wild Greensboro?

Nope.
According to rcdb, Soak'd is a Premier Ride. The one that was at WNW was a Caripro Aquaflyer.

That's actually a smart idea since you can add an entrance gate just for the water park. Good thinking.

I don't think a seperate entrance would be a good idea. It could become congested and pointless during non water park season. Now I'm all about adding a second gate within the park.

And dani way to spoil the speculation lol. I was just about to post my "bombshell" for the fx theater!

Honestly, I'm a little shocked that Spongebob is still in there. I guess Cedar Fair still has the rights to it? What about the Days of Thunder Movie? ( I think that is what it was called? ) Did that just belong to Paramounts? I don't ever remember seeing it after the park was bought by Cedar Fair in 07.

It was gone long before Cedar Fair bought it.

What does Hydra Fighter II and Slippery When Wet have to do with Carowinds?

If you read the forum you would know.

To clear up, the Soak'd/HFII debate...Soak'd has parts from Hydra, but most of it was built new.

[jordN1414]

Here's something to think about. How about go the Kings Dominion route and expand the waterpark underneath Thunder Road and into the "V-Shaped No Man's Land" of parking. It gives PLENTY of room for several new slide complexes and enough room to give the waterpark a MUCH needed route for expansion for the near future if planned right.

They already have the paths. So this is looking good for water park expansion.

aCtually I'm pretty sure Soak'd is all new. There was mention that after they really inspected Hydra Fighter that they couldn't use it so Premier built a totally new ride.

As for Sponge Bob, the Vendor that the parks get those movies from is who licenses the rights from Paramout. Dani told us the name but I forgot. As for Days of Thunder tha may have been done specifically for Paramount as I've never seen it anywhere else.

I think Rollernut is right. They probably salvaged a few parts from the Emerald Pointe ride, but I do know that the track and supports were completely new fabrication.

SimEx ! Iwerks and Blur Studios done SBSP3D, and even DOT and 007 was once listed in their film library for use at other places. Under different names at that.

[sccoasterbear]

Wasn't DOT prior to Paramount coming in? Or was it their first year?

[RollerBee]

Their first year at Carowinds, and rest of the parks, it varies.
