That pic is almost reaching "hyper under the bridge" status. You guys better hope they DO put that in next year or that will be the new running joke.

Speaking of which, I'm surprised Screamscape hasn't started saying "Carowinds is getting a Tornado slide....." yet.
I'll be surprised at this point if there isn't some sort of waterpark expansion. Let's see - Saturator rumored to be leaving, and it's at the entrance to the waterpark. Work being done on the parking lot next to the back of the waterpark. I still hope that there's also a flat ride or something else added next year as well.
I'd much rather see them put something back there by Pipeline Peak and expand the waterpark that way, and leave the Saturator area part of the "ride" park - with either Satch or a new ride there.
If they do expand the "front" of the waterpark and make the Saturator area a pathway, that's going to be a pretty big dead area when the waterpark is closed. In recent years they've already removed the Nick water splash thing and the arcade building by the ice-cream stand, and this year they seem to have closed the skee-ball / arcade next to Wings. Aside from some games and Wings, there's just nothing between White Water Falls, which is somewhat off the path, and Goldrusher now.
