Aren't the only queues without shade Afterburn, the Vekoma JSC, and ricochet?

Plus Drop Zone, Vortex, Ripcord, Skytower, White Water Falls, Southern Star, and several Snoopy rides.

Skytower... Scrambler...

[Koallinbear]

I think he means like a closed building with theming? [flight of fear style?]

[RollerBee]

Scrambler, Thunder Road, Drop Zone, Cobra, Reptar.

Why were the shades removed in the first place? Its as if cedar fair wants us to bake with sunburn. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

[Jonathan]

Shade obstructs the views of the rides.

...and you wouldn't want to ride a ride without being able to see all of it and bake in the sun while waiting...

Nope! Just good ole poles with fabric between them. Gave up on theming a long time ago.

It would have taken a very small percentage of their $50 mil expansion to provide shade in all the queue lines.

I'm thinking it would cost less than 10 g. Either ways we're not Disney, Dolly, or Busch. We're a coaster park. We can deal with it. We're getting a giga.l

Off topic, I haven't gotten a park map in I don't know how long and grabbed one today and noticed that intimidator, rip cord, nighthawk and the sky tower all are considered to be in Planet Snoopy lol. Ok carry on.

^which I can tie into the wishlist thread...

I wish that Carowinds would fix the 'areas' of the park so they are themed to areas that relate to the Carolinas... and give at least a small effort to theme the rides/attractions to that area. Not anything at the Disney level, just some effort.

I've said that before but it never hurts to repeat.

The old rainbow.ride from myrtle beavh pavilion (which is a better version of.gr8 sk8). I believe its still sitting in storage somewhere in myrtle beach.

So I was thinking about something for the County fair section of the park. It's been a while since this area of the park has received anything new. Awhile back everyone was talking about a Ferris wheel. If carowinds was to place anything new i think they should take the roundabout coaster at freestyle music park. It includes a Ferris wheel type lift and that section of the park needs a new coaster. It's similar to thrill zone and has been neglected over the years. Taking out the action cinema would make a great spot for a new coaster of this size.
Even an expansion of the county fair area as recently it's been starting to feel cramped with the increasing crowds at the park.

[Jwrickner]

I suppose our next coaster after fury 325 will be a wing coaster or a new type that we dont know about yet. If vortex is removed and the sky tower is saved, i would love to see it interact with the skytower. A wrap around would be neat.
