I found out that the retracking taking place on TR is actually just the dismantling of the return legs on each side. The wood is being used to build a second station at the far end of the ride so that it can be converted to an old “switchback” style coaster with a break-man riding each car and everything! This is part of Carowinds plan to expand on the “Carolina Coney” section of the park they added for the 2004 season! :P

This is Great News! And that Hawkins kid doesn't know anything about it! Hah, beat him to it!

No, no... He provides drinks and sandwiches to the riders as they glide along the track as well as doing on-the-spot repairs.... so he's a "break"man.

Ahhh I see... so I guess it's safe to say that this is a prototype ride?

Paramount is a serious company and always trys to provide for the latest in coaster technology!

Sarcasm... no.... maybe.... could be... maybe not.

Could you explain it more detailed please ? I have no idea what you are trying to explain.

Is it like a Roof over the Brakes section on the turn or something. What is it? :huh:

The ride will also feature new, idiot proof trains when it re-opens. Guess that means some people here won't be able to ride.

Now you can bash the Hell out of me.

Shouldn't Coasterbruh have made a comment by now!

i thought they were doing this in 2005 with the new 252,985,897,004 ft tall bobsled looper and the stand up wooden looper

NO! NO! NO! You guys have it all wrong! They are taking out the lift and adding a LIM launch and 11 consecutive loops (A new world record!). SOB was only the prototype! The max G-Force will be 21.856312 and carowinds will award the first person to go through the ride without blacking out with a free Season Pass for their entire life! :D

Watch out Grizzly, your next! ;)

I want to say what ever AMartin777 was trying to draw The new Thunder Road, he can not draw that good, because I still can't figure.
