I'm bored and I decided to make this thread! Post some of the craziest things that you have heard or spread :D about the park!

Here it goes...
I "heard" that the new flyer trains are onsite and ready to be installed on Top Gun, and there will be a name change to go along with it...are you ready? Top Gun:Turbo Flight of Fear

I also "heard" that the BORG is going back to it's initial status before it left the drawing board and that is a 4D coaster! Thats right folks forget all the hoopla about how many inversions BORG had because now your gonna be flipping like crazy on the new state of the art trains brought forth by S&S. To accomodate for the low ground sections around the vertical loop, there have been two ditches dug on both sides filled w/ fog to give the illusion of the train "dissappearing" while being assimilated. BORG Assimilator 4D is sure to be a hit this park season!

I heard that they are going to build a hyper (under the bridge) that will be the longest in the world and will actually leave the park, cross Ave. of the Carolinas and have a turn around hammerhead right beside I-77!!!

The dippin'dots guy told me, so 'tis true!

Well, one night while at the Charlotte Eagle, I was told by a very bearable cohort that it was rumoured that a coaster and/or a major flat had been in the works for the park. So, it fell through and we got stuck with Boomerang Bay. Granted the jello shooters, the Smirnoff Triple Blacks, the dozen plus Tom Collins, and the smell of leather probably got me really messed up, I'm sure that's what my source told me. This was suppose to take place after Nick Central. After a good nights sleep at the Morgan, I pretty much remembered most of it. So much for another meeting of the Flying Eagles.

I don't know when the next Flying Eagles meeting will be at the Eagle. I was there a few weeks ago and didn't see any of the usual co-horts. But, then again, I didn't check the restroom stalls. I stayed long enough to get me a "woof" t-shirt to wear to Holiwood Nights (to go along with my "Woof" hat) and left. So, I didn't see anybody. There might be a meeting in a couple of months.

When did you start hanging out with the Panthers cheerleaders?

And didn't invite me either!

****************

EXCLUSIVE SECRETS THAT MUST NOT BE TOLD TO ANYONE...

2007 - Carowinds gets their hyper (finally)
2008 - Carowinds gets the world's longest and tallest floorless
2009 - The only expansion is that they finally add the bar to BB.
2010 - Carowinds is bought out by a French company and they only admit patrons if they speak french.
