INCORRECT. Rides are a corporat decision.


Thats exactly what I thought! Carowinds "employees" don't determine big budget plans like new rides. Corporate CF has all control of that. But I do think that Carowinds can help in the decision of whats needed at the park!

Didn't you hear? They are going to run two trains on it!

Actually I did hear someone on Face/Off say that in line. :lol: :shock:




Nope. They only got one new train from Vekoma, according to all of the articles.

Oh sure. The park is who collects all of the research, ride logs, surveys, etc. They definitely have a say in ride placement as well. But for the most part, corporate CF will cut a deal that benefits more than one park to lower costs.

Ouch guys! If I have any insider information I just like to divulge!!! :twisted:
haha
Plus, I never realized this site even existed until the other day and Carowinds is my home park.
And yeah, the one train thing...its true. CAR only got one from Vekoma. But hey...its a lot higher capacity than FSS was!

Well... I'm glad that we all seem to play nice on these boards. I must have the wrong idea about what a forum is supposed to be. Just trying to help with facts and less speculation, but I tell ya what! Since chargercrazy doesnt feel like explaining...I'm all for an explaination from someone else. :(
