I meant to do this last week, but didn't get around to it. Went to the park to pick up my pass and hit a couple quick rides. Had a wonderful time!
New entrance sign, YAY! It looks really nice. They've totally de-Paramountized the park now.
Yay Platinum Pass!
Mmmm...Top Gu...err...
After Burn!
The new Yo-Yo looks really nice.
Nighthawk's line wasn't long, but I only ride if I'm there with a noob. But it needs a paint job badly.
Maybe they'll paint it the colors on the new sign.
Let's ride this next!
Obligatory After Burn from the Sky Tower shot.
Oh Look! It's the evil death machine of hate! HI!
Next we head over to the Thrill Zone.
Screamweaver cycling.
Okay, they de-Paramountize the ride, but leave this. What is Dick Kinzel's obsession with random numbers on ride buildings?
By the way, Hurler was running Awesome! They painted the trains (No more flames), but they look nice. I've hit both Hurler twins in the last 8 months, and they're running better than ever.
Coming down the first drop. Only the turns were a bit shaky.
After my 2nd Hurler Ride (Twas that good), these kids asked if I was an enthusiast. I asked why they asked (forgetting I was wearing a park shirt, a rarity for me) and we struck up a conversation. They were nice kids, we hung out for a few minutes and talked coasters, but I wanted to head to the other side of the park. (The one on the right was hard core, but couldn't stump me with any coaster trivia, that's why he looks all 'mad')
Not right now...
Went to ride Fairly Odd Coaster next.
One of only a couple signs that stayed.
Bye Carowinds! See you later!
