Dont be so quick to lose hope. Here is an area of that area.


Doesn't seem the area is "ideal" for it.

Aren't they supposed to be building a new warehouse building? The dug up area looks to me like it is the gravel lot directly behind Drop Zone(left side of Jarvis' aerial not the right near Cyclone) all the way to the drop off like area near post 1.

Ooh, I could definitely see a new coaster fitting in that area (its station could fit in that grassy area behind Drop Tower). Hopefully that'll be the case (although obviously not next year). My only concern is that it would be right next to the landfill, so I'm not sure that would work.

If that's correct, that's a lot of land being cleared for a flat ride. Not trying to jump the gun here, but could that be for a coaster in the next couple years?

Oh My Skytower! We are getting a strata coaster, it must be Hurler that is coming down soon! :sarcasm:

If they are clearing land for a roller coaster I will be shocked, I can't imagine a new coaster so soon after Fury.

Honestly, I can't either, but with all the money Cedar Fair has been putting into Carowinds lately, it's definitely not an impossibility.

Most likely, it'll probably be a new warehouse building like you mentioned above, but I'd be pleasantly surprised if it did end up being a coaster of some sort.

I'm not saying that it is for a coaster, just that that's a lot of cleared land for a top scan, if that's even where it's going.

Goes to show, a lot goes into water slides! Your move mecklenburg county . . . unless you want carowinds to be expanding south side only!
