Ok ok...I decided to drive up to carowinds to see what all the fuss was about. I was skeptical since I didnt have a cool website to promote or anything but I decided to go up cause, well..."im Jarvis". I left columbia around 9 am and finally made it to the park...
There wasnt enough room to add "and Jarvis" but it was understood...So its about 10:30 and already this start...
But once they realized it was me they decided to let us in...
They couldnt get the gates open good enough before one car zoomed pass the cops lol. They had to flag the car down. Ok got to the reg and got my press pass for my awesome website it was time to head into the park...
Once we get in we get these messages greeting us along the trail to the theater
Then I talked to this awesome employee who helped me look my best before my entrance in the theater! It looks like these may be the uniforms for the coaster perhaps?
Back to the signs...
Guess the 11 million was before tax lol...
Then I ran into this rep from coasternerdswhowannabelaid.com
You cant see it but at the time he had an erection...
So it was my time to hump the track...
Missionary didnt work but doggy did!
in 9 months carowinds be home of yet another jr hyper coaster...ya know they already have 2 jr hypers ! Anyway it was about time for the festivities to start so I went into the nicely themed theater...
I dont know who this guy is but he seems like he is extremely nice guy. He could probably talk a diabetic into eating a cake lol!
After being relieved the coaster is over 230ft tall so alot of folks can stop asking the same question that was pointless, in my opinion, "why wont B&M build over 230ft" when there was clearly a coaster built over 230ft, they had some people talking including "uncle Jerry". Now thats a man I wanna hang around at the company christmas party lol. You can tell he was extremely excited and happy that his baby, I mean c'mon the man was there when the park open so its pretty much HIS park, was getting put on the map. I would post the pictures of the posters they had as you exit but they are the same things as what is on the website. So on to the tailgate...
I was expecting a coors light (i mean c'mon it is nascar) or a budwieser but I settled for a bottle water. I have never been to a tail gate party but man, that was some very nice food and the amazing thing about it is that it was all prepared in house, as I was told by dani whom I didnt get a picture of because I didnt wanna bug her while she was making her rounds. If the park had a resturant that served food like that I would def eat at the park more because it was just that good. I made sure I went to all the "tail gating" tents and sampled everything...well almost everything (those beans...**shutter**) and the staff was friendly as ever. Saying things like "see ya for seconds" and telling you what something is and the taste of it really raised the bar at carowinds, or could it been because it was Jarvis they were serving...
I did manage to get a shot of the banana leaf wrapped shrimp before I ate all of them as well as the stuffed peppers and wings!
We were all like "do we eat the leaf" lol and max im still waiting for my Moonshine/everclear with my coke zero chaser...gotta watch the calorie intake
!
I then decided to dora the explore-a the other track section that was brought in...
Launch section...
Other stuff...
Yeah I got all into the track to take this picture...
Overall im quite impressed with the coaster. Of course it could always be taller faster longer bigger steeper...the list goes on and on but being realistic here its a winner for the park and will cause me to get a season pass for the first time in several years!
Thanks for reading!
