It can't be any worse than flight deck. Then again it's CF we are talking about.

Here is a couple of interesting points:
<a href='http://attraction.canadaswonderland.com/public/latest/gallery/index.cfm?gallery_directory=construction&startRow=61&maxRow=12' target='_blank'>http://attraction.canadaswonderland.com/pu...ow=61&maxRow=12</a> Still Works
<a href='http://www.carowinds.com' target='_blank'>http://www.carowinds.com</a> and <a href='http://www2.cedarfair.com/carowinds' target='_blank'>http://www2.cedarfair.com/carowinds</a> point to two different pages. <a href='http://www2.cedarfair.com/' target='_blank'>http://www2.cedarfair.com/</a> The numbers are Carowinds and CW are backwards... :lol: Looks to me like they are disabling the former Paramount Parks site, and moving the sites to their own domain.

Hmmm - site back up, if you go to <a href='http://www.carowinds.com' target='_blank'>www.carowinds.com</a> - Flight Deck is still there for now. The other link above Roller posted still has the "down for maintenance, check back on the 25th" on it.

If our source is to be believed, though - and he's usually right - the new name seems familiar to me. Like, it's the one I suggested. Where's my check? :P

I'm sure that some managment at Carowinds and those with Cedar Fair that are associated with Carowinds take some peeks at this site and other fan sites to maybe get hints on improvments that some may want. Maybe the change in the name happened b/c of what all the boards were saying about "Flight Deck"? But I really do like the name After Burner though!

Just visited http://www.carowinds.com and the site did come up. I found some image changes for Southern Star and Nighthawk (BORG), but no big changes yet?

Could be.

We are getting some type of flat by Thunder Road. My friend told me it was swings.

I'm sure it will magically appear on the site when it returns. If not i guess no announcement will be coming.

That one still works, but the other link doesn't. Go to google and type in carowinds. Then, click on the link. It is still down for maintenance.

Both cats are suppose to be let out of the bag today. So, be patient. There is suppose to be an announcement in the newsletter about the yo too. That's what I was told last night.

that's the official site, and it works fine.

I believe that the http://www.carowinds.com link takes you to the cedarfair link automatically. That is usually what I type anyway. Either way, down for the week. Hopefully the website will be revamped and better laid out for ease of browsing.

I could have been wrong, I thought it was taking you to CF's sites. You must have caught the site up for a short time, I had tried Carowinds.com earlier and after your post, and it was down. Oh well, all is up now on the old sites, hopefully they roll out new sites as part of their upgrades.
