I personally like Frenziod but it seems not many people go on it and it takes up some space. So why not build a new coaster there but Frenziod is still a very fun ride and keeps your heart and adrenelaine pumping. But in the end I vote Yes.

I don't think it needs to be torn down, but that little section of the park certainly needs a change. Most people never even realize it is back there, since it is not very accessible. I'm sure sometime in the next 5 years there will be a County Fair makeover, and maybe that problem will be fixed. My personal solution would be to remove the ice cream booth beside Thunder Road to expand the pathway and make the pond area more visible. On the side of the pond closest to the midway I would put a Giant Frisbee that swings out over the pond. That would likely increase Frenzoid ridership as well. So there's my little daydream.

Ah, what the heck, while we're at it; I would put a wave swinger back where Whirling Dervish was, and remove the games in the middle of the area and replace them with Tea Cups.

I want a Chaos, and Wipeout! I think the pond needs to be removed and the area look like a fair.

No...Frenzoid is one of the only flat rides the park has left.

I think the ride would be more popular if it was moved into a more central area. The looping ship at Kings Dominion is very popular, but it is located right next to a main pathway.

They should keep the Frenzoid in the same general area, but instead re-do the Country fair.

They should do something so that Frenzoid isn't in a Dead-end area of the park; to get to the other side of WWF, you have to walk quite a ways (ARGH!!! Its like Great America!!!).

I say that we should be talking about the Dodgems being moved instead. I could see them being very popular in Nick Central. With the dogems gone, Frenzoid would become WAY more visible and a Giant Frisbee could be added in that area. With the dogems gone, they could really pack some insane flats into the fair. If they gave Frenzoid a re-theme and made it so that it didn't hurt your balls as much, people would ride it just like/as much as the giant frisbee.

Is a wipeout the flat that was new this year at knotts? If a wipeouts what I think it is; I want one...really, really bad.

To anwser the poll question: Frenzoid shouldn't be torn down, just moved. If it were given theming like BGT's inverter ship, peeps would ride it.

I think the park should relocate frenzoid over to carolina boardwalk and add some theming to it that goes with the area!!

I think they should move a gate for the water works to connect in that area.

Frenzoid's biggest problem is location, location, location. Ok, that, and the fact that the restraints try to simulate a wine press -with YOU as the grape.

The entrance is really well hidden behind the Dodgems. While people can see the ride itself pretty well when it's running, it seems that if people don't easily see the entrance to a ride they'll often skip it instead of hunting for the entrance.

I like the ride pretty well and try to ride it whenever I see it running. I'm not a big fan of the restraints, though. I'd hope that instead of losing yet another flat at Carowinds, if they want to use that spot for something they'd move Frenzoid elsewhere in the park. Although I'm not sure where it would fit there, it would be a natural for Carolina Boardwalk.

I doubt much of a coaster would fit in Frenzoid's current spot, unless they removed White Water Falls and used a good bit of County Fair as well. A better, more likely option would be something like a Delerium. An even better option would be to move / remove Dodgems and put the Delerium or some other Great New Flatride in County Fair while keeping Frenzoid. Thunder Road and Frenzoid would both gain attendance with the overflow from the new ride, and Frenzoid wouldn't feel quite so lonely over in that corner.

They could move it to Carolina Boardwalk, theme it like a pirate ship and name it "Blackbeard's Revenge"!

Nothing like bringing back the good names from past rides. B)

We have 12, we don’t need anymore.


I voted no. It looks like a really fun ride.

I personally don't like Cyclone but enjoy Frenziod even thoguh many don't go on it. But what if they tore down Hurler and Cyclone and built a mega coaster like a big Son Of The Beast that would be tight. Like if you get my vision add a reply and you know connect the dots.

It also takes your ability to have kids :blink: . I voted no. Even though no one rides it and they never have it open I still think that we need more flat rides not take them out. Oh and Jonathan I enjoyed Son of Best. So no your not the only person in the world who likes it.

I agree with the retheme and expansion of Country Fair and I agree with moving Frenzoid into the Boardwalk area with the Blackbears's Revenge name. Let's do both and add some flats back into the fair... also connect the path somewhere.
