Does anyone here consider trying to combine all of the teasing together? "Rome wasn't built in a day" was giving away clues to the Rome colosseum, which in our case would be the Time Warner Cable arena. The teaser banner "Does lightning strike twice?" is referring to the comeback of the Charlotte Hornets this year. And lastly the teasing with the bee-keeper outfits and nets are obviously 'Hornet' related. It seems to me that this coaster is going to be referred to the Charlotte Hornets and could possibly have a name like 'Swarm.' My backup opinion would obviously be Fury 325 but the other idea keeps 'swarming' through my head.

I hope the parks IT Department get's off their butt's and make sure we've got a good, steady stream for the announcement. I'm gonna be furious if that crap that happened at Banshee's or Holiday World's announcement happens. I don't want to watch it 5 minutes after its happened, lol.

[offtopic]Sandor Kernacs, Intamin's U.S. president, said Monday that 800 million to 900 million people ride on Intamin rides each season.

``I believe the safety of the rides is very, very good. Up to this point we haven't found anything to indicate something wrong with any of the rides,'' he said.

``It's impossible to avoid an accident. Every accident is tragic and we should strive not to have any, but accidents do happen. The question is what is an acceptable number?'' he said.[/offtopic]
