Just because they "thought" about it doesnt mean squat. The fact that all these years and still NOTHING has been seen in terms of a launch coaster is what i'm talking about.
About the past few posts with the park getting boring...i somewhat agree and somewhat dont. I have my usuals i always ride, my sometimes list, and my never ride that list. I always have fun at carowinds...but it's not as exciting as it used to be. Years of going to the park every year several times has not made it boring, but taken away some of the surprise and excitement. The park needs something new that is UNIQUE to our park...not another clone (though FOF i would gladly take), not a recycled ride, but something different than the other parks. Like dukefan said, we need that "signature" attraction...preferably to me a thrill ride, because we really havent gotten much of that over the years (TG and BORG are pretty much it i think...someone remind me if you can think of another that we've gotten since the addition of TG or just before). We've spent years getting family rides/coasters and making half the park NICK, now it's time we get that big thrill ride attraction to spice everything up a bit, and something NEW or really popular (BORG was great but it loses it's novelty and everyone flocks back to TG). With the popularity of the HUSS frisbees, i see that as a great possible choice that would attract guests, and it wouldnt be as expensive as a coaster. Also, a launched coaster that isnt a "family" ride, but something more for thrill riders (FOF, White Lightnin). Any thoughts on that??
Like i said, i dont in any way find the park boring or lacking (not too much at least
), and while i and many others are glad to have a park nearby, it has just lost excitment over the years of riding the same things. Our full day visits have turned into half-day visits. I guess we can only wait and see!! I've been overall happy with how much the park has improved over just the past 2-3 seasons, so i can't wait to see what the next few bring
