General Carowinds discussion
#61772
I decided to bow out of this thread a while back basically. For one, it became a situation where I've been given info I was asked not to share (and while it's been hinted in this thread, the majority had really came from public leaks as has been said). See? I can keep a secret when asked. :-P.

And for two, it's just gotten out of hand with some of y'all. People here posting stuff on TPR is also not acceptable. I almost called some of y'all out for that earlier.

Piece of advice, I'll personally never leak another thing here that I'm in a position to leak if I see it at TPR. Rob. Alvey is a convicted criminal, and we are not friends.

I'll be glad when Friday comes and this is all a day in the past.

You guys can go ahead and leave till Thursday, but I'm staying. All of this is making me even more excited for Thursday. We've thought that a giga was coming for a long time. And weren't the prints leaked back on like page 120 of this thread? Jarsh is just confirming what we already thought. He's just scratched the surface. We don't know the exact height, speed, length, duration, name, colors, or logo. Knowing what to expect hasn't taken away from the excitement, it's only been a huge relief. For the longest time I had this horrible feeling that we were going to get a Gatekeeper clone for some reason.

Moving on... This thread is about the coaster, remember.

pproteinc wrote:So to add to it, I had the craziest dream last night. I mean crazy as in this coaster was a 325ft suspended coaster.

The new toll booth was in place and the front of the old entrance way was converted to an international street type deal with the plantation house as the center piece and fountains leading up to it. The Carowinds sign that located when you cross the current bridge was moved up in front of the fountains with gold bricks leading to the out of the park to create the boarder between NC/SC and the street sign at the end. The entrance was a cedar point type with the LED billboards. The side walk created a V-shape one leading to general parking and the other to season pass parking. The coaster of course flew over the path and did a weird turnaround and went under the path.

It was so real to me. I was really there walking from the parking lot, watching the coaster fly over and under the path walked thru the turn styles and stopped and just gazed. Then my alarm clock went off and I woke up in total laughter. :lol:


That's an interesting dream...

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.


:clap:

Tell it! Why punk out now? We have been scouring the forum for the past year looking for any shred of information. Now that we are two days away, folk are getting sensitive, unbelievable! I say bring it on, I don't care if all the information was leaked today, last month or even last year, it takes nothing away from Thursday for me. But I can understand the disappointment if you are 13. You want your Christmas gifts wrapped and under the tree for Christmas morning.

Wow, I mean wow. I log off at like 1am last night, and come on this morning to 3 pages of foolery. I'd like to say that the only info I know about the giga I MEAN, coaster, came from this forum. I know only as much as most of you guys do.
Thank you Jarsh, and any others who have helped to highten our fun on here by adding true info, and false info. It really made this thread very interesting and it made my day, every day. I love coming onto this site and reading and posting. Sometimes I laugh, but sometimes we can get a little heated in our discussion. It's all in good fun. So thank you.

Oh, Jonathan, when you said Josh on the previous page or so, were you talking about me, or someone else? I don't know any true facts about the coaster other than what was confirmed here (if any of it was confirmed).
I just like making concept models and designs, It's my daily thing. One day I plan to create a working model of the entire park with all of the rides functioning. I love doing things like that. As of right now, I am working on a prototype of a working model of the Haunted Mansion at WDW, but that is off topic.

Here in a little while, I will use MS paint to create a rendering of the coaster colors...
See ya later :)

But in all seriousness, I'm just trying to find out what this confidential information that I've leaked is. If I've "released" any confidential information that ruined Carowinds' big moment, please let me know and I'll gladly take it down.


If you look down from the top of Leviathan, you are going to get the exact same view. So what you posted gave me nothing. Would you mind showing a little bit more, please?
