The first of these is Charlie Brown's Hoedown.

It’s the 12 Days of Carowinds! Each day we will update the site with something new and exciting we’re looking forward to in 2011!

Today we are excited to announce Charlie Brown’s Hoe Down! Charlie Brown, Lucy and Linus head over to Grandma’s house in this all-new song-filled family adventure.

You’re sure to tap your feet to this new live show which will replace Marty's Party!

I found a youtube clip from one of the other parks with this show:

I was beginning to wonder if anyone else noticed the post on facebook. I was kinda surprised it wasnt on the front page news stream. Whats even more interesting as while this was announced on facebook the carowinds website does not address this. Odd if they do the "12 days of Carowinds" concept it will end after Christmas (since it was announced on the 14th) and means a possible 11 more new announcements. Keep an eye on their facebook, blog, and twitter. Could we be also getting a new flat? Maybe Chaos from CP? hmmm....... I do honestly have to say that I am glad about the new show looks like it could be really good. I wouldn't be surprised if Rock Band Live comes back either. Now we play the waiting game.....

Doubt it. I'm sure the remaining announcements will all be about shows, Scarowinds, park hours, coaster painting, trash cans, & pavers.

Thanks for starting this thread, cwgator! I was going to yesterday but too many things came up.

When I saw the first announcement (it was for the 2011 calendar being released) I thought for sure there wasn't going to be anything much for the next 11 announcements. I was surprised to see this show announced yesterday so it makes me think there might be something else good in the next 10 announcements.

It’s the 12 Days of Carowinds! Each day we will update the site with something new and exciting we’re looking forward to in 2011!

Today we are excited to announce a new nightly fireworks show, called Illuminations, to light up the night!

To add more excitement to the previously announced Snoopy’s Starlight Spectacular, Carowinds announces an impressive new fireworks show, called Illuminations, which will run nightly at 10pm from July 1 through August 7. Both of these exciting new nighttime entertainment offerings are highlighted by the extension of Carowinds’ operating hours till 10pm from June 27 – August 7.

EDIT 12/17/2010:

The firework show will be called Nights Of Fire.

Does anyone else see a parade coming?

[cwgator]

^^That's tomorrow's announcement....lol

Seriously though....I could see that as well.

Hilarious! I was thinking the same thing. Now if they are working on imitating Disney we can hope for an announcement on a ride similar to Splash Mountain.

[TrojanCamMan]

What else do you guys predict for an update?

I wanna say a small flat ride, but at the same time, I don't.

[arby]

A new ride of any type would really surprise me based on Cedar Fair's previous history. I really expect everything announced to be all about shows and things like that (including a parade - I can't imagine them not having a new parade with everything else surrounding this Starlight Spectacular).

[TrojanCamMan]

What if they did a night and day parade, once again - like disney.

I wanna make sure we are still talking about carowinds. Everything you guys are saying will NOT happen any time soon, especially under bart (roller coaster tycoon) kinzel's watch. According to him, a parade will block the view from the front of the park to the back of the park. Everyone wants to see everything when they walk thru the gate!

[TrojanCamMan]

Cedar Point has a parade. . .

[coasterbruh]

one thing they dont have a bart kinzel running the show...

They also have flat rides...

[TrojanCamMan]

And a whole lot more visitors.
