I would like a:
  • Hyper coaster that goes under bridge</li>
  • Wodden Twister Coaster</li>
  • More flat rides</li>
  • More theming</li>
  • More coasters</li>
  • And the list goes on and on!</li>

What I think needs to be done:

-Complete waterpark makeover
-County Fair makeover with more flat rides
-Thrill Zone makeover (better name please...)

What I selfishly want to be done (although I would like any of the above):

-Wooden coaster
-Tea Cups
-Intamin launched hyper that begins behind Drop Zone, turns around near the road and Thunder Road, dives over the entire park using the Skytower as a support, dives under the bridge (twice), duels with the log flume, tunnels under the flying scooters, follows the old Monorail path across the parking lot, runs through Carolina Pottery, launches over I-77 and over to the old Heritage property where it tunnels through the hotel and moves down the slides, launches underground all the way back to the park where it explodes out of the center of the Borg peninsula, and then finishes by exploding into a giant ball of fire, destroying Vortex in the process.

Yeah, I think that just about covers it.

My vote goes to expanding the flyers! Its soo much more you can do with it like adding floorless tubs!!

IMO, there is one main thing that would make carowinds awsome:

More Big Flats


We don't have enough of them.

carowinds needs something record setting... it would get even more crowded, but hey it would mean shorter lines on all the other coasters including borg. Also the prices are outragous on food, but hey if people still pay why lower it?

Carowinds has plenty record setting rides, but that doesnt mean everyone will run to the park.

I think what coasterdude324 is trying to say is something big and bad like Ceder Point something big and fast not like weak little record setters like the ones at Carowinds but thats just in my opinion.

Height, speed, and ride time don't mean anything. Look at the Taxi Chase, it stands 15 feet tall, but yet it is a wild coaster. Cyclone is longer than Vortex but is also faster-paced. Vortex=pain, Cyclone=fun. I would rather have a looping coaster that goes "bang-bang" than "ouch-ouch" anyday. This translates to going thru the loops quickly than having my ears and head slamed into the damn OTRs two dozen times. I hope Vortex and Hurler are removed soon but that is too much to ask.

I want all the rides to stay!

With a few changes at some point in the future:

Do something with the wasted space that Frenzoid is using up
GCI- nuff said.


But, for now, I'm very happy with the park as it is! :D :D

Vortex I completely understand.. but Hurler? They just retracked the first turn, and it's running the best it has since late 2002. Are you that big of a pansy where Hurler is 'rough'? :huh: I mean I'll agree it's no Phoenix, Thunderhead, Boulder Dash, or Swamp Fox in terms of smoothness, but it is by no means as rough as say Hurricane, Mean Streak, Raging Wolf Bobs, Rolling Thunder, or the Georgia and Riverside Cyclones. Crap man, even Thunder Road - Forwards is rougher than it, well this year at least.... Ride it again up near the front and it's no where as bad as in the back (not that the back is rough to begin with IMO..)

Also can I ask what the original poster means by "Expand Danny Phantom Flyers?" I don't even know which way to go with that one.. :blink:

Oh I'm gonna post my "5 Year Wishlist" later on complete with pictures and everything.. it will be long but hopefully it will entertain someone other than myself. :ph34r:
