I wish they would plant a million trees around Fury 325 to kind of enhance the speed factor, kind of make a terrain like coaster on flat land that is. Hornets do dodge trees very closely.

Hey I am actually excited to see the new entry plaza! So far I give it a 95% RollerBee approval rating, I would like to see a more elaborate gate but I can't wait to see how the new optical turnstylie will work!

Post number 3,000!

Fastlane is now up for sale on the Carowinds website! I was very surprised to see that Intimidator, Fury and Nighthawk are all on plus.

What's surprising about that? Fury and Intimidator are the sort of "Star Rides" and Nighthawk's capacity is as slow as Beast's lift hill. Either way people will want to skip the lines on those 3 more than anything, so they charge more. Also that's how it was last year (Aside from Fury).

I think they would only keep two rides on plus just so everyone doesn't automatically buy plus. They wouldn't have regular if they didn't want anyone to buy it.

It's supply and demand. The more popular rides are going to demand more money as they're in less supply due to higher popularity.

Actually there would be an increase in supply not a decrease. Which brings up another point with an increase in supply and demand will the price of Fast Lane Plus go up or stay the same.

^ I wouldn't be surprised if the price went up at all. :think:

Hmmm looks like Windseeker is resting in the air with which appears to be black plastic covers around the seats. Also the pilot car on Timmy is still sitting at the bottom of the last hill befor the MCBR wrapped in plastic as well.

No there wouldn't. Don't you understand the premise of supply and demand? A new ride is more popular, more in demand. The more people that want to ride lessen supply as there are only a finite amount of rides it can give. Therefore, you charge more to skip the line.

Or are you really going to try and argue against supply and demand?

It would still be increase. Either over the numbers of rides available last year or the number of cycles possible on the FLP than last year. The only ways supply could go down is if they took a ride off, limited the number of passes sold or otherwise slowed the number of cycles possible.

So yes I understand Supply & Demand, try again Eddie.

Regarding the new bathrooms, will Carowinds be impacted by this transgender toilet issue going on in Charlotte?
