Might have to use a 300' tape measure and then make a mark and use it again for the rest. But at the 300' mark you'll probably find what you wanted to find. http://www.toolup.com/empire-level_6830 ... =631489639 (All hypothetical, of course!)

Other measuring methods: laser measuring tool or measuring the lengths of shadows at the same time and comparing. Pythagorean theorem might be helpful here since getting to the actual base of either structure would be difficult.

I'm not that interested in the heights. I'm not sure a Windseeker is what Carowinds needs, but maybe it will work.

Windseeker will be a great addition with the added bonus of providing a spectacular light show. See the Cedar Point videos. But I want them to soon build a 310ft Gigacoaster similar to Millenium Force or the new Leviathan thats going to Canada. Intimidator is great, but they need another major league coaster to make Carowinds more of a destination park. And a giant Frisbee would still be nice as well.

Uh, Afterburn?

The media event is setting up by the Vortex plaza..

[coasterfreak]

Does anyone know if they'll be a live video feed for the announcement?

Does anyone know if they'll be a live video feed for the announcement?

there very likely will, but not by carowinds, someone there will probably tweet or CC or FB but idk about a vid but its likely

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

Yea the light show on Windseeker will be nice, I dont know if it will compare to CP's but hopefully it will. It will be a nice ride, I just hope the things dont bang into each other....

I agree that a 300ft coaster would be nice, but it better be a B&M.... I just dont know if carowinds would go taller than 230 for a coaster.... I guess since Canada Wonderland has behemoth and now the new giga, anything could happen, but I think the next coaster that Carowinds gets will be a woodie, or maybe a launch, we need something DIFFERENT....

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

Is the announcemnt being recorded live anywhere...

[hdmech]

I dont think it's being recorded live at all......

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

Well its supposed to be on coastercrew.com but the page wont load for me....according to KDFANSITE anyway... it was supposed to be live... oh well...

[CarowindsFreak]

I looked at the webcam and something is going on in the intimidator field.The website from yesterday with the pictures is down.

[hdmech]
