Not having bins has really helped wait times. I wasn't happy about lockers at first but seeing how fast it's allowing trains to dispatch I'm totally ok with it.

Stuck in line. The chain has completely stopped (It's been about 2 minutes). There is a train full of people in the station and 2 behind it on the brakes. Wonder what's wrong.

Someone said on Twitter that they were just evacuated because the train in front of them was dispatched from the station and then rolled backwards. (It didn't make it but a foot or two out of the station)

Yep just saw that aswell. Thank goodness it isn't severe (chain breaking, collision, etc).

Waiting in line. All we get is a temporary delay announcement. Hope to ride before close !!! It's colddddd

I bet they'd get something like a free admission on their next visit or maybe a free Fastlane on a future visit. That way Carowinds will still probably make money off them again (food, drink, souvenirs, parking, etc) and the customer will be happy to spend it again. Ya gotta think like a business person. :lol:

Kind of a rough start for the season though, huh? Nighthawk was shut down. Cobra valley'd. Intimidator was really late getting running. And now this (looks like it might be fixed already though, as I type this).
