Cold hard steel!
Good to see someone around here is getting some, I could use some but wood will work for my purposes.
(Evil laugh)

are you saying you need some hard, stiff . . . steel? but you;d rather have some hard, stiff . . . wood?

[RollerBee]

Need, no. Want, no. Could use, yes. I can get it from the local hardware store.
Nice pics Doug, I appreciate your dedication and talent. Keep up the good work.

Looks like we will be seeing slides go up in no time!

[RollerBee]

Boo! Let me at a bulldozer, I won't tear anything up too gently.

I'll have some footage and pictures of the construction later this afternoon.

How many sets of step are they going to have for the new slide tower? Dorsal/Surfer tower design is a pain in the rear.

Agreed. If they were going to have a single staircase, it should have been made wide enough to have 2 separate lines from the bottom to the top with maybe a banner over each side with the ride it serves. Mixing the 2 lines is crazy. If you've never been there before, it's confusing as hell... and if you have, you're having to deal with those that are confused and become defacto park employees further explaining what they're supposed to do. A definite pain in the rear.

They're going to have a whole lot of water next year Pa !!

Pics from today's tour. I'm sure more detailed write-ups will ensue. Passing the baton

I wonder if the Elephant is staying, if not he would look pretty cool in my front yard.

[FamousAmos]

Elephant won't be staying.

[RollerBee]

How big is it, I don't remember. Maybe Carowinds can find another place to put the elephant and alligator. Only reason I care is that the elephant and alligator were repurposed from Log Flume so I always enjoyed walking through the water knowing that little fact.

In what context are they a pain?

I dunno I thought the way they set it up was kinda dumb myself. 2 lines then have someone merge you back into 1 line. I think they could hav easily just split the stairs and kept 2 lines and utlize that carowinds employee else where.
