Why does this seem to be the only fansite where everyone speaks tongue-in-cheek? 
More ideas! The return of Blue Ridge Junction:
First, I would call up Chance Rides and get them to pull a 'Phantom's Revenge' on Carolina Cyclone (I.e. replace the inversions with airtime hills). I would rename it "Appalachian Avalanche," paint the track smokey-blue, and paint the supports brown. I would extend the drop to the ground, replace the first two loops with a large airtime hill, replace the corkscrews with two airtime hills, and replace the drop into the helix with an outward-banked hill.
Next, I would relocate Ricochet elsewhere in the park, and replace it with a Mondial Splash Over (the same model at Canada's Wonderland), and theme it to a log-rolling competition. [EDIT] If Ricochet were to stay though, I would place the Splash Over in Sweet Frog's spot and rename Ricochet to "The Mighty Mountaineer." I would paint the track yellow and the supports burgundy, the same colors on Volcano at KD.
Then, I would move Chickie's and Pete's to Wing's spot, and in its place, I would add a restaurant called "Smokey Mountain Smokehouse." I would remove the boats from the Carolina Boatworks building, and place them around Carolina Harbor.
Next, I would move the lighthouse to the outside of Carolina Harbor, and I would replace it with an old, wooden water tower.
Then, I would place a Chance Electric Cars ride in the space not occupied by the Splash Over. Or just fill it with trees.
And finally, I would get Vekoma to put new trains on Goldrusher, lowering the height restriction back down to 40." I would enclose the queue and add more tunnels around the ride to make it reminiscent of Mystery Mine. I would place a sign on the second lift hill that informs the riders that they are traveling into South Carolina.
Oh, and I would replace the asphalt and boards with stone pavers: http://www.3riverswetweather.org/sites/ ... 0Paver.JPG
