Considering I was expecting nothing in 2007, I'd be EXTREMELY happy to see Whirling Dervish (the Swings), Frenzoid and Wild Bull return next year.

One can wish, right?

^ Don't joke. I'd love to have the monorail back.

Maybe they are buying another ride like Dutchman's Revenge and are going to make it into a dueling ride (sailing, gliding). :lol:

In all seriousness....does anyone know of a CF park that recently dismantled their cable skyway or has one sitting in a bone yard?

I would really like to see the return of the cable skyway.

ok...in all seriousness, if all 4 of those verbs mean a new attraction then I think next year will be a pretty good year. 4 adult/family attractions is better than any one coaster in my opinion for carowinds, which kinda lacks in the rides department so im crossing my fingers for 4 flats!

Oh no, is Blackbeard on his way back?

Hope this doesn't have anything to do with the Action Theatre.

I'm banking on Elroy's space station!

Damn Max, I just thought of something.

They did burn that Damn riverboat didn't they?

I don't know if they burned it. If they did, Roller would probably still be in the white jacket.

I'll see if I can get anymore clues.

Uh no. BBR is still in the dump I'm sure. lol

I wonder though if they saved any of the statues or whatever from that "ride".

I know it was a goofy attraction (waits for Ken to attack ;)), but it was the best place to cool off on a hot day.

The original cable car station was in that exact location you photoshopped it in. The only difference would be that it should be going upward (from left to right) instead of downward. Still, good job with the Photoshop.

Kings Dominion 2007 media announcement is out on their web site. Read it there or http://www.PKDPLACE.com. Let us know when you hear something for Carowinds. Hopefully it should be soon. :rolleyes:

The new <span style='color:red'>Tornado</span> attraction combines high thrills with spinning and churning wet spills.  Extending 65 feet into the air, the Tornado provides riders with a unique water experience that everyone will want to ride again and again.  Finally, the addition of the Zoom Flume, will give families the opportunity to enjoy a rafting adventure together.  Four riders at a time can climb aboard the raft and “zoom” down the curving and tilting raging water path.


:angry: Now that is what I call a water park expansion!
