Once again your not reading. I said i don't know everything.

But you failed to notice that i found out what the days were for before anyone posted telling me.

Anyway i don't have time to sit here and explain myself to you or anyone. Believe what you will.

Also i don't mention my connections in every post. Go back and read all my 100+ post and come back and tell me how many of them i mention park connections.

Until then i think we both just need to shut up and wait for the announcement and move on with our lives.

Life is too short to be fighting over stupid things like this. You may not think so.

Have a nice day :)

Fairly Odd Coaster..... <_< That would be an ok name if the coaster was actually unusual, or odd, in some way.

Of course, it didn't have any ghosts previously so.... ok.

Dora for the train is a perfect match.

Hopefully the path will no longer dead end at the car ride now.

Okay...chill guys...let's cover what we do know...

3 attractions: the Eagles, the spot under Chopper Chase, and what goes where the fountain at Taxi Jam use to be.

Everything will be NICK'ed. Even Scooby. I'm interested in seeing the reaction to some of the new names. One particular attraction, when I heard the new name for it, I went "Who is that?" Since I'm not the target Nick audience, I had no idea. I think one of the new names will make us old timers go "hmmmm."

just sitting here waiting for the announcement....

when I heard the new name for it, I went "Who is that?"



It's one of the only two "great" cartoons on nick at the moment.... All the others are just OK, or just plain stupid.



Some of those ride names fit the rides perfectly.....

I was looking at the carousel and it reminded me of a lady I work with. I have been keeping her informed on what all was going on as she has a younger son who is going to flip over the new additions.

She was telling me that she worked there for several years after the park opened and remembers when the carousel came. She was telling me about all the hard work that went into it to scrape the paint on the horses and such so they could be repainted/restored.

It makes me wonder, come on 2-26, if they are changing any of the "seating" or are they just painting the building. :unsure:

I bet they are going to change the horses( :angry: ) making the Carousel itself worthless. Hopefully they won't mess up the original horses cause they could sale them off for a lot of money. :rolleyes: Alass, we are talking about Carowinds and they save a penny they can.

sry for double post.

I truly think myself that this is going to be a well themed area because you really got to make nicktoons to come to life for kids to enjoy them. I hope tyhey do a wonderful job.

^Instead of being sorry for a double post, why not just edit your other post?? Or are you just trying to up your post count so you can stay the "number one poster"?? ;)


I really hope they don't change the horses, it would feel quite odd riding a patrick or a Cosmo.... ;)

Yeah, It was sent back to Germany. They are now trying to track down the horses, b/c they gave they to retired employees.
