Someone told me that Paramount makes the decisons, not the parks.

^I am not 100% sure if I remember this correctly but during an interview I did with Watt Burris, seems he told me that Paramount as an entity has an annual budget of what they can spend. The money is diveyed up between the parks according to their individual wants & needs. That process may be different now.

they must just be messed up copy over from PGA site...

Plus, the PR people listed are those from PGA...

so..... maybe we are not getting IJST  or Boomerang Bay!!!! 


Maybe they just haven't finished copying yet as they have made no announcement yet. Surely they don't want to spill the beans before the Official Announcement?

i finally found out what it was..

PP shares its news pages on its master host site, which it runs through the park websites..

For example: <a href='http://www.carowinds.com/News/detail.cfm?item_id=50' target='_blank'>http://www.carowinds.com/News/detail.cfm?item_id=50</a>

and i know carowinds isn't getting one of those ;)

See, and everyone thought Max's Chic-fil-a tranny friend didn't know a thing...She/he told me Carowinds was going the Beastie route, I just didn't believe it. I know where I'll be getting my inside info from now on, and it sure as hell isn't the Dip n Dots guy! I just gotta say, it's about frickin' time we got Beastie... :rolleyes:

Ok, ok.

It took a while for someone to figure this out. Good detective work dukefanswimmer89.

I was bored one night so I went to the media center on the web site and just changed the last numbers starting at 10 and went thru like 250 just to see what poped up. I did think it was funny how the Carowinds logos and all stayed on every pages regardless of what park the "sheets" were about.

A dead give away was the Contacts on the bottom right of each "sheet".

I finaly make my return to the community. Some of you may remember me. If you would please save me some time by telling me if anyone really knows what will be built for next year. I swear if it is another kid ride I will not buy a pass this year maybe not even visit the park. It is a great park with plenty of fun rides but come on allready give us a flat ride!!! Sure the water park needs some work but kids have gotten ride after ride year after year. While the flat rides get set to the side collecting dust. I delt with it for years but this is where I draw the line. I do hope that I will not have to see the day when I have to say I am disappointed with the park. Deep down I know many feel the same. Again please save me some time and give me a brief list of what the major rumors are.

Yeah I am so angry at the park this year for neglecting our flat rides by installing the best flat ride in the country.

Never even knew you where gone there. I guess that shows you how much you where missed or not missed. Maybe if you have afew minutes then you could sit down and read this whole thread and see for yourself what is the lowdown on the so called 06 attraction.

Preach it!

I wonder if he hasn't even learned how to snap yet? ;) <_<

Snapping is easy if you know how to move the "flap" the right way.

You have no respect do you? I know your type and I will not go down to your level. I have more respect for others and myself. I pity you. I asked a simple question and if you had not a friendly answer then you should not reply to my post. To those who misunderstand what I sayed I was referring "flat rides" as big thrill rides such as drop zone. That is if you want to call drop zone big. On another note I doubt that the park will disappoint me this year. Takeing into account that they are releaseing the information so late in the year. At the same time I am not looking forward to any mind blowing information. Also remember if you will that the "flyers" will not be in the park next year from what I have heard. I enjoy the ride very much but the line is always to long and the load time is personaly unbearable. If my information is incorrect and I hope that it is then let the flyers fly on.

Glad to see that your sense of humour is still missing. Someone needs to thicking up their skin. If you would noticed that everyone in this community gets abit sarcastic from time to time. Since you have been gone for awhile, then you might want to get use to it. If you think you can not then by all means just be a looker.
