It would defanently be nice to have it done for SCarowinds. Traffic seems like it's been getting worse lately with all the construction and I'm sure Carowinds would really like to have that figured out during the highest traffic point of the year.

There would be no need to clear that other land for the tollbooth, so why clear it?

That baseball diamond looking thing looks like it could be the very beginning of a man-made lake.

They were marked as "dry basins" on one set of blueprints.

Funny you say that. I've never seen or been bitten by a single mosquito at the park, and mosquitos love me. I wonder if they spray the park (daily,weekly,monthly,seasonally, whatever)

[RollerBee]

Isnt there a couple of those in Dinos?

I believe this announcement is going to change the park on colossal proportions, even more than we are speculating right now. I also have a feeling much more than a giga coaster and re-done entrance will be announced.

Those are dry basins, they won't be breeding Mosquitos. The only time they'll have water is during runoff. And since they're placed where they're widening the entrance lanes, I'd say they're bigger due to the much wider and likely more heavily used road. It starts to widen where the first one is.

I definitly think that we will receive the biggest announcment in the parks history in terms of what they announce.
For refrence: For 2010 they announced Intimidator and Planet Snoopy.

Now for 2015 I know we will see a new coaster. We may see the return of the gauntlet in the Thrill Zone area which would be great. I think we may also see a new flat somewhere. Also the announcment will also most likely entitle details to Scarowinds considering it opens 3 weeks after the announcment. Could we also see some details about Hurler getting MF trains and more retracking? I feel like we have our standards very low and they know it. Julie is always watching!

I know for sure that this announcment is going to make us look...words can't describe. It's going to blow us all away in ways that we never thought before.

Sorry for the rant. All the excitement is just making me want to blow a gasket. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! When August 21st gets here I'm just going to lose it...

[DarK Ei8ht]

^ I too think our standards are too low. Definitely going to be a fantastic August 21.

[iBiscuit]

Pure speculation, but it keeps being discussed that the August 21st announcement is to be the biggest in the park's history. Some here have even speculated that in addition to the toll plaza and the new coaster, we will be receiving a new flat ride as well. As we are now aware, the building housing the Asylum has been emptied and all outside theming removed. I am just wondering if anyone else believes that a new flat could potentially be built at this location if the building is removed as well. It seems to me that a Top Spin or the like would fit nicely back there.

Question: Carowinds also owns the wooded area from behind Hurler towards the season parking right?

[DarK Ei8ht]

I think they own some if not all of it.

Here's what Cedar Fair owns. The blue is the 61 acres purchased in 2011.
