^ I really think the Great Barrier Reef Wave Pool should be taken out. It takes up a lot of space, the waves are tiny, the bottom of the wave pool is falling apart (there are some spots that they have mats to cover them up), and we already have a much better wave pool (Bondi Beach).

I do think that Great Barrier Reef will be filled in and become the spot for a new slide complex (one of the many that I hope we get) I also think we could see the addition of another wave pool like Bondi Beach. If you look at Kings Island they have two gigantic wave pools. So that would definitely be a "big" splash. If they move the sidewinder it would really open up that water park entrance to accommodate larger crowds but if they are adding a new water park entrance then I say leave the sidewinder where it is and give it a new paint job.

Is Great Barrier Reef the original wave pool? If so, then I absolutely agree, I think it's a goner.

The thing I worry about is Bondi Beach becoming too crowded if they take out the original wave pool. But I guess the crowds would even out with all of the new slides.

Unless they build a new wave pool...

Let's say that carowinds does rename County Fair to Carolina Harbor, I know it's slim but what if they rename/retheme Afterburn to the wright brothers?

From the Charlotte Business Journal: http://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/bl ... month.html

The overhaul involves a two-year construction project in which owner Cedar Fair Entertainment Co. (NYSE:FUN) is seeking to boost yearly attendance at the park to 2.5 million, up for the estimated 2014 total of 1.9 million.

Next month's announcement almost certainly involves a waterslide. A previous Carowinds application for incentives from the city of Charlotte mentioned a $2.5 million waterslide as a part of the park's expansion.

What slides fall into the $2.5 million price range? Here's one: http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_2 ... ater-slide

They got some old information. The $2.5 million complex is the one that's already been built.

[Jonathan]

Yeah, I think you're right.

What I would like to see personally. A dual wave pool...

[pproteinc]

^^ If our water park was anything like that, I'd be there on a daily basis. I would like to see a 10 lane mat racer, drop speed slides, a tornado, some aqua loop and flat loop slides, and a Flow barrel surf compact version maybe.

I would be amazed if we got something similar to this like at Hershey park, it's definitely a kid friendly attraction that blows out our current play structure.
