Ok i have an idea for you. move the scrambler to county fair and then put either the gerstlauer or the chance flat ride in its place

I'm very aware rides can go cross-chain. But, when SF has double-downed on big ones, and essentially put them all over, it's hard for Carowinds to announce one and not have people go "But Six Flags has those!"

I wouldn't mind one at all at Carowinds. But I'd rather Cedar Fair find their flat ride and work it like SF did with the frisbees.

The scrambler should be in Country Fair. Scream Weaver as well.

Part of me thinks that such flats should be spread out around the park rather than concentrated in certain areas. But if you're going to have the themed areas everyone raves about, you need to run with the theme and make it more than just a label on the map.

yeah, scrambler is kind of in that awkward alleyway near vortex and that pizza joint. It really is an awkward place and it doesn't belong there.

I’d pay a lot of money to see those flats in the park and to see Cobras gone, but I feel like all those rides in one area would really oversaturate County Fair

Those first two seem pretty tall. One placed back by the PvZ arena could make for a nice visual from Carowinds Blvd. The new coaster will help some, but that corner is pretty sparse and could use a centerpiece ride to draw more crowds back that deep.

CW also has a frisbee. They are a very popular ride regardless of the park, SF, CF or indy parks. Sky Roller called Sky Hawk at CW is one if my favorite flats in the world. Only issue with them is 24 rides/cycle which is not great compared to Frisbee which can have up to 50 depending on the model.

I’d also like to throw in the fact that Six Flags and Cedar Fair literally built the same coaster last year

uh...I dont think Twisted Timbers and Twisted cyclone are the same. I've ridden TT and thought it was quite long, and I thought the theming and layout was awesome. With TC however, there is no theme, and it's super short. Not the same ride, dude.

Six Flags Fiesta Texas: Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster (RMC Raptor)

Cedar Fair

All these flat ride ideas are great but we MUST find room in Blue Ridge Junction for the return of Hillbilly Jalopies. :D
