Another construction update from Carowinds.

If someone can tell me "the strange thing" is, and what it is for, tell me.

sooo........everytime a trash can is relocated in the park your gonna update the site.............seriously man they are plenty reasons why those things can be happening and they dont have to be for **construction**. I was always told never to fire until I see the white of their eyes, so in saying that until you see some dirt being moved or something on that level its safe to say nothing is going on at the park just yet...........

calm down remember last year that announced BORG around this time ;)

Let me clarify some things...........In saying what I just said what i meant about that is that the park is prone to do general park improvements and that looks to be the case. That hanging sign thing could have just needed to be refurbished and they can clearly be doing some building work. By all means do you because this is just my measly opinion (might as well say it because i know its being thought of :rolleyes: ) And to me construction is when things out of the norm start happening around the park, ie: bright orange markers on the ground and other things, heavy equipment sitting together in the parking lot next to coaster track, construction walls going up, and things of that nature.

Definition of construction:
The process or art of constructing; the act of building; erecting; the act of devising and forming; fabrication; composition.

Personally, I appreciate seeing these updates, regardless of their importance to certain board members. Construction updates don't have to be just for the BIG projects. The park has many small construction projects going on throughout the season. It's nice to see the photos of them and it also creates discussion, negative and positive.

No, we don't need a report every time the fans have been replaced on BORG's brake shed, but I can certainly appreciate the fact that someone notices the smaller projects that are taking place in the park.

Keep up the good work RollerNut.

Which reminds me, they put mist and fans in BORG's queue, and a new ATM by Haunted Mansion(ATM photo not posted). I didn't feel like putting the BORG queue stuff in with construction for some reason. The single rider line however still remains closed.

I think there is more to it than just Refurbs. Everything appears to be happening in Animation Station. Regardless of if real construction is happening or not. Definitely preparation for something is taking place, even if it's just a land name change and new signage and paths for next year.

Don't forget too that some of the things going on around the park could be for Scarowinds. (Not necessarily the stuff in Animation Station but around the park.)
