Yesterday at C3 Eric mentioned that Google Earth updated their Carowinds pics, I checked last night and sure enough they did. I found this site called FlashEarth that lets you toggle between Windows Live Local images and Google Earth images.

Here is the link <a href='http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=35.102707&lon=-80.94122&z=18.6&r=0&src=0' target='_blank'>http://www.flashearth.com/</a>

The Live Local picture is from 2002, the Google Earth picture from 2005. Its fun to switch between the 2 images to see what has changed in 3 years. Noteably Reptar, Borg, Flyers.

Have fun, and if you see anything else interesting be sure to post it.

That someone was me. It is cool to switch back and forth and see the differences.

Hold on... I got it!

You two were at C3.
They let you all in on 2007 plans for Carowinds
You must be telling us they are adding a Giant Frisbee AND a Hyper under the bridge in 2007!
I KNEW IT!

Or maybe they are just going to build Kingda Ka x2 in the parking lot.


Or maybe it is possible for a 700 foot inverted stand-up woody.


But i think we should check with coasterbruh's resources before jumping to conclusions. ;)

It's funny how I was the first to give Scott a hard time about the hyper under the bridge.

He was like "We haven't even made it in the park yet and someone's already cracked that joke!!!"

I didn't even plan it either, it just sort of came out.
