Don't forget Hurler!

Correct, this is speculative fiction playing out over RCT3. This is all coming from my head and that news article from the previous update, Carowinds hasn't touched Vortex yet.

Coast Carolina Forums > Carowinds > Vortex Gets Flushed September 24
Posted by Pete [ADMIN] on 26 August, 2016Things are starting to get interesting around Vortex!
I hit up the park with Blitz today to discuss various admin stuff when we saw Michael Fehnel walking around the park casually, though he didn't seem to be doing much and I was curious why.
It was a fairly busy day.
However, it didn't keep us from noticing this guy. Sure, it was a bad parrot animatronic on a ship's wheel, but it didn't belong there. And someone hooked up to a microphone elsewhere kept repeating, "in the fountain" over and over again.
Well looking in the fountain, we found this message in a bottle.
Inside the bottle was this transparent piece of paper with some squiggly line and a red X drawn on it. I was confused at first, but then noticed that the paper was about the size of my smartphone. So with a little messing with the mobile map, I lined the start of the squiggle up with where we were and it lined up with the rest of the path, showing us that X marked the spot at Fury 325!
In the heat of the moment, we both made a bee-line for Fury over to the X to find a large wooden treasure chest where the X was. Guarded by a man dressed as a pirate who said his name was Edward Teach, we were told to run the chest back to Carolina Showplace and open it.
As much as I didn't appreciate having to lug that giant chest halfway across the park, it was so worth it and so great to be part of the teaser campaign for whatever 2017 brings! Dan and I posed with the chest before I grabbed the key they had put in the parrot's mouth and opened it...
The chest was really heavy because they put a lot of Carowinds stuff in there such as souvenir mugs, a bolt from Thunder Road (RIP), t-shirts, and even a few signs from the soon-to-be-doomed Vortex that has has all this attention swirling around it. However, the most prevalent thing in there was this roll of parchment alongside a smashed model clipper ship (that I hear was sent with the parchment in smaller chests to media outlets).
So this note. It states a sailor's legend (and cites Charleston pirates; a very famous Charleston pirate was named Edward Teach) about a beast that sleeps below the water and nobody had encountered it and lived to tell about it, this sounds like the theme of whatever 2017 is.
Really starting to think we have the theme of a Vortex Rougarou treatment...
It sits on the water, so I guess the theme they're hinting at will fit that.
Orange you excited for Labor Day weekend? Coast Carolina admins will be at the announcement to cover it!
