Strike two.

Here's the deal... I don't visit that site. I don't like that site. And I definitely don't like the sites owner. I post things to THIS board because I like the people here. If I wanted my comments and/or images posted over there, I'd do it myself.


That well said, and what site?


My guess would be ThemeParkReview... My little brother frequents the site and said a lot of the hints Jarsh and other reliable sources have given us have been posted over there with and without CC credit quoted.

Whoa...I'm all about teasing and having fun but I can't get down with releasing actual park material...especially for the mere sake of proving to someone you know something. I'm not too sure how the park feels about things like that but not trying to find out either. I don't know if egos are on heighten alert or what but saying over and over you know everything is one thing but releasing actual images from something the park first wish to release is kinda over board...

I'm out until thursday...

For what I put wasn't to get out all the info, just to try to strangle it out, just a little bit! :D

I'm still really excited for Thursday's announcement, and I think I can speak for all the "out of the loop" people (and defend Jarsh a bit) in saying that I, for one, am still not sure one way or the other what we're getting. Yeah, a giga. But we're still oblivious to the specs, speculation vs accurate info, and other details of the expansion. I don't feel like my fun has been "spoiled" yet, is what I'm trying to say...

But then again, I don't have any concept of what the big picture is, so for all I know he's spilled the beans on everything.

Maybe his hints are just more obvious to those that already know?

Changed my avatar to match the new trend. 8)

No harm done, we are a small community. Even if we knew every detail before the announcement, Thursday is really for the GP and the media. All information will be new to them.

Well to avoid the risk of anymore info being leaked out, I'll be boarding the train of people who won't be back until Thursday.

Before I go, I would like to say thanks to everyone for making this project one the most memorable experiences of my life. That might sound cliched, but it's true. It's been great speculating with you guys over the past months. See you again Thursday!

What information have I given out that we didn't already know? I haven't released anything that hasn't been discussed here ad nauseam. Everything I've commented on could've been gathered from the blueprints that were posted here or the numerous teasers the park has given out. I simply posted an random, cropped image that I knew no one had seen of a spot in the intro that didn't give anything away. I haven't confirmed the first thing, other than I know the details about the coaster. I certainly haven't posted pics of the entrance saying "this view will be clear next year!" as was done a few pages ago.

And for the record - it's cool that folks are jumping ship on this thread to be surprised on Thursday, but yall are looking in a thread about the new coaster. A thread where every shred of evidence that has ever been seen (from footers, to track, to teasers) has been posted. Stop acting all butt hurt that I posted an image of nothing new and "ruined" what has been one of the worst kept secrets in Carowinds history. If you didn't want to know anything about the coaster, you wouldn't come to this thread at all.

It's like going to IMDB and getting mad because someone posted a movie spoiler on their site. You went to a movie site, you know the risk.

While I am unsure about all of the details of this project, I certainly can figure out a few things here or there. Also, I appreciate this back and forth debate and insight here! Thursday should be fun! Now, with that said, I am curious if the ride will go over or UNDER the entrance. If it does go under the entrance like many teasers seem to be pointing to, part of me wants the tunnel to be visible from the entrance (like a glass floor for a portion of the walk area). This might be a bit of a stretch, but I figured that I'd throw it out there. Of course, if we could get the coaster to go 100mph, I wouldn't complain!
