Yeah its sad but true but carowinds will no longer hold that title. Its kinda sad, not that it wont hold the title but PKI's version sounds like its gonna be the crem de la crem compared to PC's. Well the title was fun while it lasted!

Check it out <a href='http://pki.com/news/detail.cfm?item_id=251' target='_blank'>here</a>!

^ that on top of this year's 'new attractions' will put carowinds firmly behind PKD/PKI on the flagship list... i could've seen how we might've been able to inch closer, the lines weren't that blurred before... a nice country fair revamp or BB ala PKI.. but no!! lol

the only hope is for a major coaster (MAJOR DOESN'T EQUAL IJ:ST PARAMOUNT PARKS!) in the next two or so years... and a real BB revamp following that....


looks like PKI will remain the best kids area in the world :(

Wouldn't surprise me if they put in those "flyers" like at PKD and Dollywood for the Danny Phantom attraction. A Chance Aviator?

I also heard it could be a Zamperla Kite Flyer, in the press release it talks about 'laying down.'

I might have to visit next year on the way to Holiday World and Beech Bend. That spinning coaster sounds very Gerstlauer-ish. Wonder if it will set a precedent so that the other Paramount Parks can get spinning 'mice' down the road..

PKI fans seem to think they are two coasters, but I only see one.

Wonder what Carowinds will do to "strike back?" Assimilate the picnic area behind Top Gun and move back in that direction?

The Golden Ticket Wars are just starting...LOL

Wonder what NUTS-tradomus will have to say about this?

I wonder if this is all a scandal by paramount parks to make it seem like "rilvary" between the parks for the largest nick area. The reason I say this is because its not like each park is independently ran like SFMM and cedar point, who seem to have a go at each other for most coasters (But I think it should be more OPERATING coasters!)

^ No. They just want to have a tag line like "World's largest coaster" or in this case "World's Largest Nick Section'. etc.

It's just marketing, I don't sense anything else in the Force. :lol:

noo im talking about between carowinds and kings islands....the battle of the best in a sense but in reality the best is basically what paramount wants so one year it can be PC the next it can be PKD and so on and so on...
