For 2012, Carowinds is also adding another 15,000 square feet of pavers, new shade trees, a new midway shade area with 20 new benches, and a new patio area with tables and chairs.

So, on the webcam, there is a grey disk that is scaling the tower. Could that possibly be the initial base of the structure for the swings? This can always be a possibility....I guess

Yes I do believe its what holds the swing arms, cedar point had the same thing on their tower (see below). I will be heading up there soon so I will take some pictures and videos if they have it moving up and down.

It seems like the grey disk got bigger today.


Also to get something clear, the carowinds windseeker has NO associstion with the wright brothers right? I know im a bit slow but I would be freaking out if the area around windseeker had a wright brothers theme randomly.

I dont believe there is any theme to the wright brothers, that would have likely been mentioned. Guessing it will just be the same color scheme and theme as every other park.... Its really odd how all of these are EXACTLY the same :lol:

Now you can see the grey ring really well. Its spinning around at the top now. I guess they have to do some testing without the actual cars on the thing as well? I wish I could have got some video of this on Sunday but they never pulled it back to the top.
