I think that was my favorite site because of how busy it was lol. I looking at the park map I didn't realize Carolina RFD stretched all the way to Afterburn. I always thought it was part of the county fair :?

Netscape still works??? :wtf:

Maybe I can't remember but what was the rocket power air time? The description would lead me to believe that was the guantlet plus I've always known frenzoid to be frenzoid with no other name besides southern star.

Oh ok cool thanks!! It makes sense now, 2009 was the year I moved from NYC so I never knew of the rocket power name because my visits down south regularly in the summer ended in 2001 and I didnt come back to carowinds until 2009 due to the fact nothing was really worth coming for according to my dad also a coaster geek. We always ended up at CP KI or SFGA.

Unfortunately the Wayback Machine didn't handle database driven sites too well, so a lot of the CC links on there are broken. The 2005-06 version is completely broken. Here are a few that work though.

Cool!! Retro! Haha - I think 1996 was the year I started using the internet. It was a used desktop from the paper and installed AOL dial up and I don't think I ever used Netscape Navigator...I think it was windows 93 on the desktop. My next desktop had 98 on it so I completely skipped 95.
