Most of the time I skip flat rides, especially if I've already been on it or the same type ride elsewhere. This is definitely the case if a park is busy. Most to me aren't worth standing in line for more than a few minutes (the Yo-Yo would be a prime example). However, I will wait for a coaster...I'm just a coaster nut....lol However, if I come across a different type I hadnt been on, I will likely ride it at least once. I would agree (despite my lack of enthusiasm for them), that Carowinds definitely needs a few more, especially for those who don't ride coasters.

They can bring back for me The Oaken Bucket. I loved climbing up the walls. Some people even turned upside-down. Man what a rush! I loved that ride.

We need a flat ride that is actually entertaining. The Southern star is about the only one next to Phantom Flyers( I'm still going to call it that..) We need an S&S Scream'n Swing and/or (More than likely or) a Huss Frisbee.

How about the ride that plays with everyone's mind - Blackbeard's Revenge? Errrrrr!

How about another indoor, live show building for a show that isn't on ice? You gotta love those theme park shows.

Trivia:
Scooby Doo's Haunted Mansion used to be a live, country-show theater. It also used to be where Carowinds held employee meetings.
