After my day today...



May not be at the top of my wish list, but it's definitely up there :wink:

I'd love to have anything above except for the wing coaster unless it's somehow a big improvement over Wild Eagle at Dollywood. I also wouldn't mind Hurler getting Thunder Roaded and getting a new woody.

I have also had the chance to ride Valravn and I will say I was impressed, I think that could be the next big coaster because they are still rare for in the US and if KD gets a wing coaster then I wouldn't expect one for Carowinds. Also, I do not want a wing coaster, the only thing I found fun about Gatekeeper was the first drop and the keyhole element. It was also kind of rough and forceless. Wild Eagle was a lot better IMO.

The wing coaster pictured is Thunderbird, a launched wing coaster. It is much different than any of the traditional wing coasters.

I WANT:

-An RMC hybrid coaster
-A good floorless coaster (and keep Vortex!)
-A Gerstlauer spinny ride (like Pandemonium)
-Flats with awesome lights and good music
-A really good woodie

Oh and I want some of the rides to put speakers in the head rests and play music on the rides.

It's just a Wishlist, it doesn't all have to be realistic in the near future :mrgreen:

I definitely feel like a dive coaster would help Carowinds further reach "Cedar Point of the South" status. They're not the most insane coasters in the world but are arguably the most intimidating.

Valravn's been a huge hit here at the Point. It's a Tuesday and its pulling a 1+ hour wait. Granted, this IS Cedar Point.

The thing I found about Valravn was even though it wasn't that intense of a ride, it attracted people due to the way it looks. Not to mention that dive coasters are people pleasers IMO. They are not intense, just overall a really fun experience.

Sort of like Dominator at KD. It looks awesome, but it wasn't that intense (to me at least).

Dive coasters look really gimmicky to me. 'Twould seem I'm in the minority on this one though.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Legitimately though, I really hope our next coaster is something other than a B&M. I'm a fan of theirs but I would like to see some diversity, coaster wise. RMC or GCI would be perfect, IMHO.

Wishlist for the names of the new flats:

Topscan: The Witchdoctor

Troika: Black Widow

Breakdance: Wild Bull (theme the ride similar to Rodeo at Six Flags Over Texas)

Wave Swinger: Whirling Dervish (obviously)

Music Express: Something Peanuts-themed.

---------------------------------------------------------------

My next wishlist item is a Vekoma Madhouse called "Blackbeard's Hold" (another original attraction name), similar to Villa Volta at Efteling. It would have a pre-show with a Blackbeard animatronic who sends riders into the brig, which would be the main part of the attraction.
