Maybe that HORSE will look good in a new environment with the theme song "The Horse" or Jalopy IDK?

But had the debate not raged on, you wouldn't have made this post and a couples wouldn't have neither.

So therefore, I have once again caused a spike of posts. Granted it had very little to do with Carowinds.

How come no one has gotten pictures of the markings in Planet Snoopy?

Were they near any specific rides?

The survey markings are mostly a bright orange and red paint.
They extend from the back of the Snoopy Boutique and go all the way around to Yacht Club. They can also be seen at the nearby restroom in front and to the right of the Boutique.

I think that the bathroom is getting knocked down, the train will be gone (or maybe re-vamped into a different layout that goes through planet snoopy instead) and possibly 4 new rides in the area as a whole.

I think that Dino's alive will be removed this off-season.

I think there may be one or two new water park additions and minor enhancements.

And other small enhancements around the park as a whole.
This is just what I predict will possibly happen.

Harmony Hall finally added the restrooms that Planet Snoopy had been needing for years, however replacing the Planet Snoopy bathrooms with a larger building further in Planet Snoopy would be great. Especially if it was near Pirates or Crabbie Cabbie.

I believe we are stuck with Dinos Alive, Carowinds would be the first to remove them so far. I hope I am wrong however.

As far as the train, I doubt you will ever see them wrap it around Planet Snoopy. While I would love any additional track for the train, I doubt it will happen. I figure either the train will stay the same or finally be removed. Honestly with what little track they have left, the ride is only fun because it is a train. Wrapping the train around Planet Snoopy sounds easy but Planet Snoopy sits on the side of a hill which would require a large amount of grading and drainage work, there would be little to no return in my opinion.

They could put rides in the existing oval of track but this would require people to cross the track during operation, which isn't impossible to control but it would add to the costs of operation due to the possibility of paying one or more employees to secure the crossing each time the train goes through. Again adding to the cost of operation.

Automatic safety gates are possible if the park chooses to open the area to the public but I haven't seen a park that doesn't have employees making sure visitors stay off the track.

The plaza area where the new Starbucks is? It'd definitely look nice there along with all new Carolina architecture for the buildings around it instead of art deco.

I love this, what would you do about the Plaza Stage? Maybe move it to the new County Fair with a matching theme?

Planet Snoopy renovation and a completely redesigned front plaza, would not be a bad addition at all.
