^a major attraction would sell aqua socks, umbrellas, beach chairs, and swimming goggles? just an odd trademark

Yes. Just as you can buy shirts, glasses, towels, hats and so on that says fury 325. Its not rocket science people. Some people didn't agree with boomerang bay when it first debuted as it didn't scream "water park". C'mon people, let's broaden our mine and think outside the box. I can just imagine the names of things if some of you all would be in charge.

^ Gosh, I thought "Carolina Coastal Pirate Water Park Thingy" was an awesome name. Way to shoot me down.

I am just excited we may see something other than Soak City.

[coasterbruh]

Why would you even think they would use "soak city"? They are trying to differentiate Carowinds from the rest.

Broaden our mine? Is that a hint? Will the expansion include gem mining?

Becuase Valleyfair, KD and KI were all changed to Soak City.

^If I were you I would stop thinking like that... Cedar fair isn't in the game to be predictable anymore.

Cooooouuuulllldddd be...could be not.

On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a wind-swept beach in North Carolina.

Hummm...


Cool sign huh...


This one as well...

I still hope we can bring this guy back into the water park!

Yeah! It would fit right in, with all the shark attacks that have been reported along the coast in the past few months.

I'm not crazy about the name actually. But I don't care.

To me and anyone I know it'll always just be the water park. I never called it Boomerang Bay anyway. If we get some more new slides out of it I'll like it.

I am kind of surprised to see some of the backlash to the name Carolina Harbor. I think it fits just fine - well at least better in a Carolina 'themed' park than Boomerang Bay. I would be happy to see that name. It is possible that 'catchier' names they may have wanted may not be available.

[Merthecat]

Remember the teaser for FURY 325 that said "Prepare for a complete transformation, above and below...below?!?"

I'm pretty sure that the "below" was referring to Boomerang Bay, since it's themed to Australia, which is the "Land Down Under."

So a complete transformation of the waterpark in the next few years is what I'm expecting.

[RollerBee]

Carowinds uses that tagline for TV and radio ads. Below refers to the bridge.

I doubt anything will be built where the turnarounds are for while. It is too far out to connect to anything right now plus the walkway around Bondi Beach is extremely narrow with no real way to widen it without removing Pipeline Peak. Someone wasn't thinking ahead.

I was thinking about this and how the park would connect the turnaround area to the rest of the water park:

My idea is that the path to get to the turnaround area will go over Crocodile Run and past the exit of Down Under Thunder. There would be a slide somewhere behind the lazy river and as guests exit, they would go behind Down Under Thunder and Pipeline Peak to get to the turnaround area. You can fit some decent slides in that area. The entire path would be a circle around Crocodile Run, Down Under Thunder, and Pipeline Peak. The guests would exit over by Bondi Beach on the path that Rollerbee referred to as a bottle neck area. So you just circle around the attractions and there's easy access from Bondi Beach. None of those names will stay the same though.

^ I have no idea what you just drew

I like the name Carolina Harbor just fine. Makes it very easy to come up with a nickname.
