Sorry, i have not posted anything, I was at carowinds today. I think they might add something where the mini golf is and the random white space by the little shop at the entrance of the water park!

Like many have already said, "Splash" seemed to be the magic word when talking about 2016 when it was mentioned at the 2015 announcement. A drop slide like Paradise Plunge would be nice. The whole resort idea is something I really have my fingers crossed for.


Now, I see there is that Centurion t-shirt that was teased in the merchandise window. Do you think that will be something extra added for 2015 that just has not be announced yet? Or might it be something for 2016? Or is it simply nothing at all - except a t-shirt I just have to buy!

That'd go great paired with the proposed water park expansion, since presumably we'd be walking under it to get to the rest of Boomerang Bay, which would be located in the parking lot on the other side. (my 500th request for that :lol: )

I can also see us getting a Wonder Mountain Guardian style dark ride, possibly themed to Blackbeard? and that Resort Hotel, within the next few years. And hopefully some flats and one day a big launch coaster (a Blue Fire would be superb).

Dont hold your breath on the painting idea. Very few parks now paint their wooden coasters...also, the dark ride thing is still kinda

That'll be like trading grapes for rasins...

Like Jonathan said, I don't know. And even if i did - I ain't going down that effing road again.

I know I was wondering just in case of teasers!

NO! Not teasers..."speculation"!

Anyway...im hoping for a splashbattle. I doubt a flume. The park is progressing and I think that would be taking a step back. Unless its heavily themed, flumes are pretty boring. We have to look at the amusement industry as a whole. See what all the companies are offering, not whats already in the parks. If the water park "needs" anything, it would be a family raft style slide. With only one now, I think atleast 2 more would be awesome. As a matter of fact...

This will fit the bill perfectly!

Lets not get beside outselves...Those things cost as much as a roller coaster because, well...they are roller coasters. I dont think we would see those until the water park is considered full fledged.

Proslide Tornado or Tatrum! More tube slides, larger play structure and new changing areas.

^ one of those would be great! I'm not a fan of water parks but I would have to take a ride on that for sure.

Not inverted track but rather, the rider goes upside down. :lol: My bad.

you have a better chance of this showing up before one of those...

Besides, they dont really go upside down...and having been on 3 of those drop capsule slides, including the tallest in the US, I have to say...they are not for the faint of heart!

What about a dueling slide of some sort. That would be pretty cool.

Or maybe some sort of new innovative ride that has never been done before.

One can dream. :D

When I was at carowinds, I rode the Rip Roaring Rapids. It seemed really boring, and I didn't get soaked at all. So I'm wondering if they're going to restore rip roaring rapid, maybe with a water and a few more heavy rapid. Or maybe they're going to have a boni beach 2 with the old wave that is a regular pool. That would be nice because the newer wave pool is overly crowded! :think: :think: :think: :think: :think: :think:

Soooooo...on the parks twitter they listed s picture of the section of thunder road with the little road section. No train is on the track. Too early for speculation???

I'm not crazy about waterslides but those bottom dropping things posted above look terrifying.
