Can you copy from the Google Maps app? Skycoaster is also laying in the bus parking lot so I know it is from this offseason.

So glad Afterburn is the same color. Station looks nice. I really hope Gr8 Sk8 is just being moved...

Arent we the only major park with a Chance Falling Star? It is a great ride, and I hate to see a flat ride leave. Carowinds has yet to deny/confirm any ride removals this winter, Planet Snoopy should expand not get smaller.

Six Flags America, Michigan's Adventure, Adventureland Iowa, Cliffs, and Indiana Beach all have Falling Stars. Your definition of "major" may vary.

Also wasn't the whole parking lot redone when Intimidator opened? Pretty sure the lines have been nice and fresh for a few years now.

I really hope GR8 SK8 is staying. It's a very fun flat ride. If moved, I think it should be moved over to the Carolina Boardwalk re-themed as a surfing ride (Surf's Up). It would fit in well.

Yes, and it's being repainted and re-themed to the new Mardi Gras section. Could you get a screen shot of google maps? I tried to look at it on my desktop but it hasn't updated.

Dont think Gr8 SK8 is staying, infact that and the Train would suppose to be removed, reducing Planet Snoopy by 2 rides for next season but as always could be wrong, who knows

My bet is that, if in fact Panda Express is gone, it will be relocated within the new restaurant complex.

I too hope that Gr8 Sk8 is staying, getting rid of Flat Rides is a huge step back. The one thing they need more of, they are losing. Just makes it worse.
