I wonder what's going to happen to GR8 SK8. We haven't heard anything from the park, and I hope the park isn't removing the ride.

They will probably relocate it with no announcement like skycoaster or like put it in storage like they did southern star. *sarcastically thinking*


I'm just ready to get to the park 43 days until opening

Southern Star was put up for sale before it was installed back in the park. Translation, Paramount wasnt planning on keeping it. Cedar Fair cancelled Paramount's plans and used what was laying around. However, I am glad it came back.

I am too, even if it is the most uncomfortable ride ever.

It is comfortable on me, it hits me in the non-beer gut.

Highlights (such as they are) from the last couple of weeks. Really long if you're really bored. Brrr.

Take a close look in the South Gate parking lot next to Thunder Road. Waterslide pieces!

Why is it that the water park looks as thunder road?

[offtopic]I know this is going to make me sound REALLY, really stupid, but how tall is Afterburn? Is is 144 feet tall or 113 feet tall? Is the lift hill 144 feet tall and the drop is 113 feet tall? I'm confused...[/offtopic]

I see Jukebox Diner is still standing but I cant tell if the gokarts are. Hopefully GR8 SK8 will surface again, if they can find a spot then the County Fair or Carolina Boardwalk would make nice homes. Since the train is still on the rails, my guess is that they will reroute it again. Afterburn's drop is 125 feet with a 113 feet lift. The actual coaster stands 144 feet tall.

Hmmm, Skycoaster actually fit nicely in its new location. My question was Gr8 Sk8 removed just for the season, relocated, or is it gone for good? It's definately miss in action.
