What history? It just seems more feasible, from a maintenance stand point, to not use a canvas roof.

The park it was brought from, what it appearance was there and what changes from the standard Mack model it had. It looks a lot better than canvas.

Willing to bet they will remove the water slide.

How much? Because I bet they don't. I bet you $50.

Deal.

Ahem. You can keep the money just wanna say I called it.

[Edwardo]

I posted a while back I needed an address. I can't magically send money with my mind...

I’m sure Arby will have something to add. Stay tuned.

Great pictures Wormy!

Did anyone ask about Cobra's new ride sign?

[pproteinc]

So for the Zephr, what's the second build next to the operator's hut and what are they building somewhat close to Electro-Spin?

[arby]

That building is to house controls/transformers/etc... Some of the rides house that under the ride, others house it in external buildings (see the last picture).

Thank you for the pics, Wormy. Here's some additional ones.

The area looks a lot more open, now.

Some rides have controls underground

One of the rides came from Japan, the remaining rides came from Europe. All have been refurbished.

As always, thank you, Carowinds, for inviting us to take part in the construction tour!

Were you able to tell if any work was being done to the associate cafeteria? It's right behind Dockside Fries; the blue building.

Here is a link to the pictures I took today.

I found out today that the rides will have stories to with them. Electro Spin's story will be the Cack-a-Lacky Power Company. The Flying Cobra's story will about airplane dog fighting.

Panda Express will be in Joe Cool's Cafe building and will be remodeled to look like a Panda Express.

The Zephyr is sitting on the state line, so that you will be swinging in two states.

Wings will be adding some more menu items, but I was not told what those will be.

Electro Spin will be repainted once it is put together.

Arby and Wormy, it was good to see you guys today.

[Hiveminded]

Thanks for the updates guys, looking forward more and more to opening day! (And preview night!)

Here is a nicely edited short video from the tour.

Great pics as usual. Thanks guys!

Wormy.. that next to last picture in your set shows what looks to be coaster chassis wrapped in plastic at the bottom of the picture. Is Cobra getting new wheels or might those be for another ride... Cyclone?

[gabed]

So happy to hear that the Top Scan is getting repainted! Not that there's anything wrong with it's current scheme, I just loved the blue/purple colors it had in the renderings.

I think you mean the last picture? If so, all of those parts wrapped in plastic are parts from WWF that are getting shipped out along with the 'boat.'

[uscbandfan]

These look like roller coaster chassis... not WWF parts. (Bottom right corner of pic) Could be because I'm only seeing the top of the stack.
