Now for some real Carowinds news (instead of what is IMpossible for 2014, and who else is getting what and when and why and where and how tall and whose sources and who said that and no you didn't hear that from me and how can you say that and looky what screamscape reported and I want a launch and sorry I'm off topic let's get back to this fascinating topic and now BACK on topic and blah blah blah).

Saturday's itinerary (from a credible source btw :shock: ):

Fox News Rising promo with Wilson. Includes an interview with the first official visitor (an interesting story from a funny guy involving rain, scrapbooks, beauty queens, and rats), as well as some cool history footage, more Pat Hall anecdotes, a plug for the park's new picture history book, and our latest PR person (what was her name again?)

Someone from here, I don't know, might even consider going?

Great lead-in, Wormy! I find it interesting how so many are trying to tie in historical trends with CF under Dick K even though the CEO is now Matt O, who clearly stated the direction of CF which differs significantly with the way the chain was previously managed. Anyway, back on topic...

Julie is the new PR person, btw.

I'd be going tomorrow if I didn't happen to be working.

Yes. Yesterday's event featured a book signing by Scott Rutherford, who also wrote The American Roller Coaster. It will continue to be available at the park, (but it's five bucks cheaper on Amazon).
