It's midnight and that big yard ornament is now testing..

[theintimidator]

I think we'll be alright for today!

[BS1983CLT]

Let's hope everything is ready to go for tonight! I wonder if they will add any text or lights to the top of the Rock n Roller ride?

[KIJester]

Just a friendly reminder of the goal they should be shooting for......
Artist rendering or not, it should be pretty darn close to this by Saturday (GP opening day)
Yes, I am aware changes can be made throughout the construction process, but let's discuss whats missing/wrong/delayed/deleted at this stage?......

[gabed]

Other than Electro Spin's paint job, I'm struggling to find any major differences.

[KIJester]

Observations so far....
No crown on Zephyr
No signage on RocknRoller
No LED pkg for Do Si Do (see "Coming in 2017" video)
Unfinished pavers between Do Si DO and Wings
Electro Spin has no paint, no lights and no testing
Shade sails need replaced in Cobra Queue (faded yellow leftover from old Cobra)
Very little evidence (on webcam) of the amount of string lights over midway as shown in rendering.
Banner signage missing on light poles
Large "Carowinds "County Fair" banner hung over entrance

[Edwardo]

The top scan has been testing, what are you talking about?

And they never stated there would be an LED package in Do Si Do. They simply used footage from Kings Dominion. You can't go by that. Jeez.

Yea maybe but don'y upload a night view of Bad Apple in operation and with the lights on Twitter and Facebook making people think that's what it will look like at night. They're plenty of vids and photos of when it didn't have LEDs when it was known as Triple Spin. Why not use those?

That was stock footage

Unfinished pavers between Do Si DO and Wings
Some areas were to be left concrete as shown in the rendering...including a patio area by Wings

Electro Spin has no paint, no lights and no testing
It's testing right now and has been on and off since last night. As far as the paint and lights....budget? Maybe wanted to fully test before painting and adding lights in case they needed to take it apart/avoid damage?

Shade sails need replaced in Cobra Queue (faded yellow leftover from old Cobra)
Budget? Other than faded it seems to still be in great condition

Very little evidence (on webcam) of the amount of string lights over midway as shown in rendering.
There are string lights. It's hard to tell at that resolution...are there as many as in the rendering? Go and see tonight to find out

Banner signage missing on light poles
I see some signs on some of the banners. It's hard to tell at the angle if there are more

Large "Carowinds "County Fair" banner hung over entrance
You can't see the entrance on the webcam and they take little time to install. They still have vehicles in and out of there so it's a finishing touch

You guys have fun tonight enjoying 4 new flat rides to the park . . . or not.

[pproteinc]

I will!

[Coaster_Crazy09]

There are string lights. And Rock n Rollers tarp is themed to a record.

[gabed]

Ugh why doesn't Do Si Do have the same lights that we saw in the stock footage? Ridiculous. If I knew that that ride wasn't going to have LEDs on for thirty minutes a night back in August, I would have rather got nothing at all!

Other hobbies get upset over Rivets....
If you think someone getting upset about lights is bad, rivets are just for looks and less than a millimeter.

I personally don't care about the lights either way.

[carolinaman]

I personally am ok with the way things are but I feel like they will add more things (lights, signs, etc) over the next few weeks. I'll be there tonight and I am going to enjoy some AWESOME flats.
