lose? what u saw on fox news rising was a tape from weeks ago. It wasn't live. The day that aired, there were no concrete trucks etc on the webcam. Concrete was pour weeks ago and they had already backfilled in with the dirt. You dont back fill until after the concrete has cured long enough to remove the forms. Which they did.

You are being ridiculous. That is actually the supports for the helix of our Intamin launcher we are also getting. The station is just south of Thunder Road and it has a giant tunnel under the Southern Star and Country Kitchen and then resurfaces into a helix around the Windseeker and then back under ground again. It is a big secret but I figured this all out by looking at the photo.

yeah looks like ur right, but man, queue before they started to build the ride? weird.

Also, Why is the forum so slow, its barely crawling.

...and since they are at the edge of the ride on the lake side, I assume they are going in so soon because they'll be part of the actual new fence. While the ride isn't up, yet, I would think they want to get the new lake bank completed sooner rather than later so that it's ready for water.

I agree, first of all, this post is barely alive.....but thats ok. Anyway, I also find it a bit odd that the shading for the line would go up before the ride does. I thought they would actually have the cement around the base of the tower up first.....then the tower......then the extra buildings for power and such.

What is this word I keep reading, "Shade" ? Since when are we finally getting "shade" in a queue line? I think that word doesn't exist at carowinds. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.
