After talking today im not sure if its actually B&M. Now could the dude be trying to throw me off, yeah but when I mention hyper coaster he smiled but i mention B&M he asked me who they were. Then I mention intamin and he gave me that "im not telling" look...but he did tell me to check the website soon...

Intamin would be even better IMO! I read somewhere the announcement would be Sept. 1. Guess we'll have to wait a couple more weeks.

What if a coaster is 201 ft. tall at it's highest point, but only has a 199 ft. drop?  is it a hyper?

Well then it's not a 200+ foot drop now is it? Hyper, NO.

Really... I would consider this a hyper.. of course.. I also consider Goliath, Expedition Ge Force and Steel Eel to be hypers..

Is there an ACE definition for 'Hyper?' That might clear some things up a bit.

What made ACE the ultimate authority on roller coasters?

After being to Dollywoods new county fair I would love to see Carowinds revamp theirs.

Although I agree with this... after visiting the Water Works Sunday, I really feel the water park needs attention first, then additions and changes to the country fair next year.

How about do both...revamp/move WW and then redo country fair.

I doubt they could do both in the same year.

[CoasterChris]

Off topic here but it's official. PKD is getting IJ coaster. Wait for the video of TR to finish on the site and your see the IJ video.

Heck yeah, just wait untill lucas (dukefanswimmer) gets back and posts his TR from today!

I think this thread is interesting, Jonathan guessed the 2005 attraction in May 2004.

[dukefanswimmer89]

well.. i had a long and hot day at carowinds today.. i might post a TR later...

Lots of things that might, and might not matter... but what i saw...

COUNTY FAIR:
New County fair sign but w/ the words county fair taken off it.. could they be retheming this next year?

Dodgems - missing turnstile, and three cars are sitting, broken, in maintenance bay

Frenzoid - not been open for a long time, neither has TR Backwards....

Mini-Golf: Falling apart (one hole has cracks and most holes ball systems are broken), the putters and balls are missing, except for a few broken ones littered around, and it looks as if parts of the cash register have been taken out....

Wings Rocking Chairs are missing!

FSS has some pipe thing exposed and ppl were working on it today...

WATERWORKS
Under two of the three 'cutouts' under Thunder Road there are yellow posts.. have these been there...

There is a trailer behind the footlong hotdogs place, in between restrooms and entrance to Carolina Boardwalk.

There are people staying in the campground, but nothing seems to have changed in Thrill Zone.

South Gate was closed today (prob. due to less ppl visiting...)

I actually can see them both happening.. and know that one or the other will happen... Hopefully they tell us @ C3... that would be awesome...

i honestly see a two zone revamp, as i said earlier:

its going to be boomerang/RFD, boomerang/country fair, or country fair/RFD next yr...

[carocrazy]

Carowinds has mini-golf???

[Cephas]

It's by WWF...duh...

[MarkD]

One... I want to say I'm pretty jealous of you who get to go during the week. Most of us have to work for a living.

Two... Lucas, did you ride anything or just go snooping?

Odd about Zoid and TR not running. I went Sunday and the Sunday before that and they were both going. I did ride TR backwards but not Zoid.

I actually like the Mini-Golf being in the park but after living in Myrtle Beach for 20 yrs and playing down there nothing else comes close.

Footlong Hotdogs? I didn't realize they had them. I usualy only eat at Country Kitchen, Wings, Outer Hanks and don't pay attention to the others. Bad me!

I hope they have something to say at C3. That would put the icing on the cake but at last years C3 they couldn't say anything 'cause they were still waiting on something, can't remember what tho.

On a side note go <a href='http://www.kingsdominion.com/' target='_blank'>Here</a> and watch the opening video. What you are looking for is what is on the second video after Tomb Raider. I still haven't seen an Official Release yet.
