I don't even think PS needs renovated. Add a couple rides and it's good. Honestly? I'd renovate the YoYo and put some lights in it and move it over there with three new family rides like a disk o, kiddy drop ride, and one of the helicopter rides like KD got this year would be nice.

Yo Yo's height requirement is 48" tho.

The only issue with putting the Carousel in the front plaza area is that it would almost defeat the purpose of getting rid of that planter to begin with. I think that they removed that planter due to the high amount of traffic flow that goes through that area. The carousel would still be in the way unless you knock down Aunt Annies, the stage, the art deco buildings, move 5 point challenge elsewhere (finally), and even get rid of burito cafe. But that building is practically brand new, so they wouldn't get rid of that one sadly.

I just think the carousel would look tacky and out of place in the front plaza. If they're going to move it at all, it would probably look best in the new County Fair section (if they could find room for it).

Auntie Anne's could be moved to the old Funnel Cake building that is next to the entrance for Rapids. There is a small area between that building and Starbucks that could be used for tables and the line for Pretzals.

I will also toss out the possibility that a new Carousel building doesn't have to be as large as the current one, the current one is oversized to allow for shaded areas around the Carousel.

Family Kingdom has a PTC Carousel and their Carousel building is slightly smaller in diameter than Carowinds.

I love the idea of the Carousel moving out of its current area. The amount of space it takes up, you can easily put 3 kids rides in its spot.

Next year, I think we will see a PS expansion, relocation of the carousel, and a log flume/ water ride. Rob Decker & the GM was spotted walking in white water falls area last week.

I say get rid of Yo Yo entirely. It's totally redundant and even if it was moved, the park has two other swing rides.

Woah woah woah, what!?!? Are there any sources or photos to prove this? If this is true, that confirms that something is in the works for that area, perhaps not for 2018 but definitely sometime soon. As for a log flume, I highly, highly doubt one of those will be added next year, or ever again at the park.

Three* other swing rides

Rob and Pat walking around the site if a removed ride only says there were at the site if a removed ride.

Will something go there? Of course. But they literally could have been taking removal instead of addition.

True, but it's already gone. Nothing is there but the trough and pump house. Who knows, this is is just speculation. Several people including myself saw them walking around. Whether next year, or after, it's exciting to see. Time will tell.

Ms Pat, Ron and another person were out survey the WWF location not to long ago. I have a hutch we'll see something there soon as well maybe not 2018 tho and also "allegedly" the laser tag/arcade building is to be getting a refurb.

I have a hutch we'll see a water ride in WWF spot as the pump house have not been touched. I'm still hoping a log flume returns. It just fits the que facade they haven't touched.
