Given the attendance spikes that came with Intimidator and Fury, I think you'll still see a good number of thrill rides in the future. Not to say that a family oriented expansion would not be welcomed.

And don't forget about Carolina Harbor! If it keeps performing like it has been, we might just get our own water coaster!

But if you move that road, it changes a lot of things (both good and bad).
Also, think back to what Rob Decker said in that interview. You want people to spread out in the park. By using that road as a "one way path to Fury" you are cutting off several other rides/attractions by guiding everyone away from them.
That wouldn't be a rather wise move.

^You have been looking at too many of Tarheel's drawings. The access road gives access to the boat storage for the Rapids. In addition the Paladium road is narrow and looks like meant for parking.

If there's an access road that could be moved . . .

While they're at it, they can move the RRR queue line to near where Luigi's is now. (Never thought that it's entrance should be in the Plaza anyway. not to mention a mile walk in the queue to the ride.)

I remember in the 80's and early 90's that queue would spill out onto the midway. I'm not sure what it's like these days since I no longer live in the area, but it was needed back then. I suppose it would help moving it if they could find a way to not break the bank. Hey, they did it with Hurler when they put in the go-karts. I remember that was quite a long walk around to get back on for re-rides.

Those were the days. RRR also had a huge queue with metal rails in the woods between the long walkway and the boarding platform that's gone now. I was there yesterday and the line barely made it to the end of the long walkway in the heat of the day. 15 minute wait, tops. Yep. Gone is it's hay-day. That long of a queue is no longer needed, especially with the waterpark available.

You know I wonder, we have 4 characters and each character is a ride in a since. I dont know food for thought

[chknwing]

yeah I dont think we are getting 5 new rides for 2017. I think its only 4. going by the hotline clues, I'd say its the breakdance, the troika, and musik express and the topscan since its already at the park.

[RollerBee]

Based on the clues I think the clue could what attractions are staying.
Rock N Roll, Southern Star.
Bumper cars, Dodgems.
Funnel Cake stand.
Big and exciting, Afterburn.

[Jonathan]

The square dance clue sounds like it's probably the theme for the Breakdance in County Fair. Could be one of the other flats though.

[chknwing]

the poster has a Jam jar on it with HH on the lid and the word "Jam" in quotations. obviously there is some meaning to this. Ideas?

A new teaser was recently posted on the Carowinds Youtube channel and at the end of the video some green fine print shows up that reads:

"This message was produced by the Higginbotham Campaign funds, raised by director of fun raising, Granny. If you're reading this small print, congratulations because you have incredible eyesight. I bet you can see our announcement coming from a mile away. Impressive. You should tweet about it @Carowinds! I hear their social media guy is really awesome. We call these Easter eggs!"

Does anyone else think that "I bet you can see our announcement coming from a mile away." is a teaser?

[Wormy]

Good work spotting that.
