They did keep a couple of pump houses??? I know those other pipes behind dodgems are a lot bigger diameter, they seem like they would be for sewage, but I dont have a clue.... I dont think the ride will be over any pool of water though, but I do hope I am wrong on this as that would be fantastic!


Agreed!!!! Carowinds, please add water!!!!

... and trees!!

If the ride is not completely over water I hope it at least has some parts over water

I agree! I really think it could be! Even if the flyers dont go over in that corner beside dodgems, it would still be nice for a connection over there! Even a connection to the other side of dodgems would be nice as well :lol:

Not a whole lot to see anyway, very limited viewing unless you are up on a slide, on windseeker, and skytower... Here is a video from 7/19 that I made.

I think that's a pretty good confirmation of the JoJo roll out of the station. I'm also thinking the 530 is launch track length rather than 53.0 MPH.

Also, don't know if this has been mentioned, but the Foundation Permits on Evolve were updated to show "Permit 4 of 4 for Project Alpha - 3 buildings and 1 foundation only"

"Rolling into a copper pot." It is sounding more and more like this is the Blue Fire clone the Mack guy referenced that is going to China. Blue Fire rolls into a natural gas extracting facility that basically explodes and you are launched out. From what they described in this teaser, this coaster may do the same, but in this case you are dealing with a exploding still. Stills are notorious for being very unstable. Maybe Copper Head Strike is the name of the product.

Good find! I had checked this morning and dont see that under "project alpha" when searched, so it must be under a different name or something, looks like a project number. I wonder if the station is 25' tall off the ground? Very interesting numbers and things. No idea what it all means lol.

Foundation only ride..... $2mil.....Could this be the return of the flyers...
