I bet their ROI from that $25m will be enormous in 2016.

That must be where the warehouse is going.

As if Carowinds would just let one half of the park rot without incentives. Great little added bonus of straddling two states; they get to make the two fight each other over which taxpayers will give more subsidy to Cedar Fair.

I would . . .

Wow, I estimated way less than that. I thought it would be at most $20 million but that's pretty high. And that's not even counting the flat ride or PvZ.

[coasterbruh]

Im almost sure its counting everything else, new exit, ripping out TR and the pool . . . .

I hate the offseason...

I'm not generally a fan of a like button. However, this is the one time it would have come in handy, although I would only be allowed to like it one time.

I was kind of surprised to see the price tag for next year's additions being $25 million, but I do assume that it includes everything that they are doing for 2016. We know today's media isn't as good as they used to be on deep fact checking, since they are competing with social media, and everybody being a 'reporter.' Like Jarsh said, I also expect a quick ROI on next year's additions and improvements.

I am most excited to see what Carowinds is going to look like in five years.

Did they move the webcam to the top of Windseeker or just zoom it in? It would be great if they would get both webcams back up !!

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

To me it looks like it was moved.... Not sure though it wasnt like this last week when it was turned. I wish they would load up cam 2 again, preferably closer to carolina harbor or maybe following PvZ progress....

Not only two states but two counties, and possibly two cities as well. Most parks don't have that many potential revenue sources. Of course Cedar Fair is going to favor a park where they are receiving local dollars. Previous Carowinds owners did this, but in this environment where local incentives are expected by most companies expanding, Cedar Fair is really taking advantage of it.

Stopped by the park and got some pictures. The new paint looks nice.

Darn. I was really hoping the new flat would go in County Fair. Guess it makes sense why it was found under Fury.

Dont be so quick to lose hope. Here is an area of that area.

Doesn't seem the area is "ideal" for it.

It's just going to be a new warehouse.
30,100 square foot.

Cold hard steel!
Good to see someone around here is getting some, I could use some but wood will work for my purposes.
