I'm just anxious to see the new front gate signing in its little plaza area. LOL

I'll show you . . .

Can I get in on this?

Also correct me if I'm wrong but won't this make Boomerang Bay/Carolina Harbor/Whatever the hell its called the biggest water park in the chain next year as far as pure number of attractions go?

The Kings Island waterpark is pretty large; I'm not sure this will be on that level yet.

I just hope this water park expansion works amazingly well, and makes Cedar Fair big piles of cash. That way, they are eager to get the next big coaster built at Carowinds soon, that I will enjoy.

Or will that just make them want to add more to the water park?

I actually hope the attendance bump next year pales in comparison to this year's so it reinforces to them that coasters, not water park crap, are what they should add mostly.

^ I think you should call up Matt Ouimet and Rob Decker and tell them that since you obviously know how to run a theme park better than them.

I hate to be that guy but I'm almost positive you're gonna get a bigger rush for this than fury. This expansion is something the eipntire family can enjoy. There is something in this from infants to thrillseekers alike. The target audience is much larger than fury 325's. Just the separate entrance is gonna win over a ton of people. We have to look at things from the vantage point of what the park needs to succeed. The park can be empty but the water park jam packed. The market is there for the water park and its obvious with two expansions back to back vs years between new attractions over there. I'm excited, naturally as a water park person and a fan of carowinds. Everything the park adds (windseeker, starlight spectacular) doesn't cater to me and my needs but I welcome it because its only improving the line up.

Am I'm gonna miss TR yes, but I have faith that the park will fill that inbetween coaster void sooner than later. I'm not gonna tell you guys how to think or react to this news. I just wish some of you guys would look at this with more of an open mind and look towards the bigger picture.

Is that for carowinds? Major thrill ride every year?!?! Mama Mia!

[Prongfan]

Oh I totally agree with you Coasterbruh that this is a bigger deal to more people.
I said I hope the attendance bump is less.
That's just me personally. I'd rather they focus on thrill rides, but I'm aware that the water park is a huge attraction for many people, especially families.

Do you have any idea how selfish that sounds? The park needs to cater only to you? And you think if they try to cater to the other 2 million+ people that attend the park, they deserve to not reach their attendance goal? And I thought Rollerbee was bad....

its for all parks in chain but I think the most interesting part is 2 years, parks are getting accomodations. I would look for Carowinds hotel to be in 2017 or 2019

Even though the park won't do it I wish they would ban you from the park because of your selfish post. You could help them not reach their goal by just not going to the park because you couldn't.

I thought I was in TPR for a second after reading this post... Anyways, does anybody have any guesses on what the slide complex holds?

Why does it say Paramount Parks Inc. in the top left corner of the overview picture?

We know the plans don't show whether or not the Action Theater will be there next year but what about mini-golf???

If it's the same complex as the one at Kings Dominion, there will be six slides. In total, it looks like we're getting eleven or twelve new slides next year.
