And I know Jarvis probably doesn't have any legitimate information either (Barbie's been feeding him lies), but maybe we are getting a disco.....

And that's what I want you and everyone to think. I communicate and have pow wow sessions with quite a few people :wave: . Most are not here to say "look at me, I know something". I'm here to have fun, strike up convo and tease like a whore in church on the first sunday. A lot of times you can easily put two and two together and figure out stuff, its not rocket science. At other times you need a tutor who can guide you in the right direction to figure it out :thumbup: :shh: :wave: .

I hope this doesn't come across as mean but it would have been funny if he had turned around to leave and the boomerang came back GENTLY nudging his shoulder. I love watching the videos featuring Mike. He really is bringing a new style of GM to Carowinds whereas the former Paramount's Carowinds GMs were rarely seen in the park at all.

As mentioned earlier, the park should build a new mini golf in a larger less hidden area. It can be roller coaster themed. Maybe one hole can have a model of thunder road. You and a friend would putt the balls up the lift hills and let them race then Into the hole at the station. Just a thought.

Hopefully new paint on all the slides (excluding Down Under Thunder and Surfer's Swell/Dorsal Fin Drop). The water park needs to look fresh and new. The two slides that need it the most are probably Sydney Sidewinder and Pipeline Peak. Sidewinder's paint job is faded and Pipeline Peak's body slides would be too dark to match the new atmosphere. Also, there should be more palmetto trees. Lots and lots of palmetto trees. :thumbup:

I'm praying for sprayers on all walkways to keep them from burning the skin off the bottom of people's feet. There were some of those at Lake Winnie, and it was a huge help. It wasn't anything fancy or over the top (you know, like the fancy elephant and alligator that are used in the two bearable sections at Carowinds right now...), at Lake Winnie, they were kinda like little water hoses with holes in them that sprayed on the walkways to cool it down.

My other favorite thing at Lake Winnie was the Lazy River. You could be in it with or without a tube. (Not sure why Carowinds requires them), and it had multiple points of entry/exit. It also had times that it was lazy, but other times that the water went faster, and others that it almost created waves. I don't really see any changes to our lazy river for this year, but I'd love to see it be more like Lake Winnie's in the future.

How about 2 lazy rivers? I loved the river at Aquatica Orlando. It's ANYTHING but lazy. They allow with tubes or without if I remember correctly. Was an exercise adventure if you didn't have a tube. That water moved FAST. So, lets have a fast river and a lazy one.

Whatever they do, the current Carowinds lazy river is one thing.... TIRED. It's needs to be revitalized even if they don't rebuild it.
