I doubt we don't receive a new ride for 2020. With them adding 13 more days to the season this year, the new hotel next year, they have to have a marketing force for 2020.


Do I think it will be something huge? Of course not...


But if I was in charge of the park and future capital, I would add an antique car ride in the YoYo Spot ( and have the track continue along PvsZ queue line and along the show building.

I would also refurb the rapids ride. The park needs a water ride in the worse way...

Sorry, I think I just blew the budget.


Well sir, there’s nothing on Earth like a genuine, bona-fide, electrified, six-car monorail!



I'm all for it!!!

Was doing some digging through Meck county permits and found this. It says "Carowinds Wa". I think this may be referring to waterslides?

Well would you look at that... Zamperla makes splash battles!



But if that shipment is indeed for Carowinds, I doubt it's that. If I had to guess, it's a mid-to-large sized flat ride like a Disk'o, a Discovery, or an Air Race etc.

They literally opened 8 months ago, I don't think they are already getting new stuff.


What, they can’t get something new for next year?

That’s kind of what some places with rides do, you know...

Don't play with my emotions like this lol lol. But I do think it's far too early for anything to be showing up at the park for what is in store for next year . . .

Zamperla makes those Lumberjack rides, right? I've never ridden one, but they look pretty fun. A Discovery would be great too, though I think I might prefer a Mondial or Huss model pendulum ride tbh. A Splash Battle would obviously be much appreciated as well, since water rides have essentially been eradicated from the dry park.
