No Our Skytower is Intamin, Space Spiral was a Von Roll

[solarplexus]

I would personally love to see Skytower repainted. All they would need to do is stand on top of the cabin and paint from the top down. Also bring back the awning over the queue. I miss being able to see the park from up high without having to drop or fall like on drop zone or Fury for instance. I can't wait for it to reopen.

For nostalgia's sake,if Eastern Airlines was still around I would like to see it returned to that paint job.

Seriously, Skytower is one of my favorite activities at Carowinds.

Actually, Eastern Airlines is back.

I doubt that will ever happen. Stephen Colbert lost his father after Eastern Air Lines Flight 212 crashed after trying to find the Skytower in low fog to help them land at CLT.

Something needs to happen with those cankerworms. They were everywhere yesterday.

What does a paint job on the Skytower have to do with a plane crash? It was the red light that confused the pilot.

That's to be expected in early spring. lol

You really do question everything, but anyway... I was referring to the EASTERN Airlines plastered everywhere on it. Someone said they wanted to see that paint job. Someone replied with, 'you wouldn't because Eastern is no longer around.' Someone replied with, 'actually... they are.' I replied with, 'you might not want to use the Eastern theme.'
We good now?

Just learned from Carowinds' twitter that 'RFD' stands for 'Rural Farming District.' So I thought to help the theme, they could add a petting zoo like the one at CP. Also, they probably need to take out the palmetto trees so they aren't throwing off the farm theme.

^ Carowinds did have a petting zoo at one point in the early years.

What would be nice to see is a ride like The Looper at Knobles in county fair, a classic ride. Maybe a manufacturer can make a new version but still keep a slight antique look to it with a nice LED package.

I know I said I wanted Guantlet back in the thrill zone section, however it would be more appropriate to place in county fair as well.

The county fair could have easily be the biggest section in the park. Let's just bring all the great classic rides from the early years and toss them there.

^^Yea put more classic carnival rides and flat rides in the County Fair area. That area has potential for great themeing, and it started out that way. And I forget why they removed that original swing ride.

I'd love to see a Ferris wheel there.

^Eli Bridge Ferris Wheel would be awesome! I got airtime on the one at Tweetsie!

Just some ideas for a Hurler RMC. Of course, this one is a RMC refit/custom. It is about 150' tall (53 meters or so).
And to make it last longer, I would add more track length to make it circle the entire layout a few more times and make it very twisty like Steel Medusa.

Just some thoughts

I wouldn't mind seeing one of those double ferris wheels like they always used to have at county fairs. Always loved the big drop when the whole thing flipped over and the top wheel went to the bottom.
