^Chance Rides.....
Must mean Gr8 Sk8 is coming back. :sarcasm:

Hmm, maybe a new family/kiddy coaster or flat ride package.

That whole game building needs to go and open up that area imo. Scrambler needs to be relocated and be part of county fair. Whats going to be sad is a renovation to that area may spell the end for the trees there.


Do-Si-Do is like an upgraded version of the Scramber, so I don't see it being moved.

This is true but so does PTC, the company that made the Carowinds Carousel.

Chance Rides makes modern fiberglass Carousels, PTC Carousels are wooden.

Yes, Chance Morgan is part of Chance Rides; Morgan manufactured the boat ride and Road Rally.

Chance Rides works with Vekoma....
Maybe new trains or harnesses for Reptar?

I thought so. They made the yo-yo outside of the kid park as well. What boat ride are you referring to, the only one in planet snoopy is the yacht club and it was manufactured by Go Fourth Industries and came from Canadas Wonderland...

Well at this point I hate to say it but if it were anything bigger then what we are expecting it would've already needed to be started or get the land prepared.

I was told that Yacht Club came from Gilroy Gardens. Peanuts Pirates came from Canada's Wonderland and was made by Mack.

The boats aren't the same boats from Wonderland.

Not necessarily, its just July. I believe construction on Intimidator started in like late July or August...... White waterfalls was already removed, not sure what if any work has been done over there though.... Id say we arent getting anything major next year though, but who knows. I still think they would move the entrance to the waterpark to WWF old entrance but they probably wont. I really hope we get another water ride back someday though..

Not sure. Just because its not the same boats doesn't mean that it didn't come from there :P We dont have the same trains on Carolina Cobra it originally had.... I think its more plausible for it to come from CW since its a sister park, but hey if you were told that then I guess its definately possible. I am just going by what wikipedia has :D

I hate to say it, but it seems it's only you who thinks anything bigger would be added next year beyond what's been mentioned. Outside of a Vortex conversion, Planet Snoopy additions and/or Carolina Harbor additions, I wouldn't hold my breath for anything bigger. It's pretty clear a new coaster isn't coming for 2018

No, I agree with you. I meant that I don't think we are getting anything bigger then a Vortex Conversion because it would've already started. I wasn't expecting anything huge for this year other than a Vortex Conversion. Sorry for the misunderstanding :D

One can only hope for a log flume like one at Knotts Berry Farm :D , Although I have absolutely no Idea where it would fit in with the "Theme" in the park.
