Go-carts free? That is a good joke indeed.

Really....I wonder what dufus suggested that anyway?
;)

*bgwfreak raises hand* lol

(except for the part about the swings and Raging Bull). I think I did encourage them though to refurbish County Fair. It has gotten "sub-par" over the past few years compared to the front of the park and how it looks now. Although I wish they had never sold them to PGA, but hey I'll take their flyer over a set of swings any day. :D

I guess I'm not as picky an enthusiast as I used to be. I look around at many of the parks (BGW for one) and they haven't added a coaster of any type in years.

BGW hasn't added one since 1999 and they took OUT 2 in that time-frame as well. Yes BGW's coasters beat PC's hands-down, but at least we've been getting SOMETHING over the past years when the industry was so down after 9/11.

Personally I've seen some great changes at the park and I'm much happier visiting there than any other seasons except for maybe 99 when we got Top Gun.

I just recently heard about another attraction. Boy there really starting to pile up.

So far i know about 5 of the new Attractions. I think the rest will be re-named & re-themed rides and stuff. Can't wait for the official announcement to find out the rest.

^^ You also "knew" about the B&M flyer that would go on the island if I recall correctly, so we'll just wait for the official announcement.

A Security gaurd told me that a Morgan 93mph hyper was going to be built. But it was still under approvment. I guessed he lied :( <_<

But i do know some of the new attractions. I just happen to see renderings of the NC area this weekend.

If you really want to know what all were getting just send me a PM. That is of course if you work for the park. If not you'll have to wait.

The B&M story was what i heard from my source that heard from someone else.

From what i heard (but who cares anymore it's in the past) Carowinds was going to go with B&M until they heard PGA was getting ride of their flyer so they went the cheap way. Thats just what i heard.

I never said all my sources were relaible. Most of them are are but not all.

I think if i heard the same thing from all 7 people that i know then it's gotta be concrete, Also this was the first year i ever got to see artist renderings of anything.

I ask if i could make copy's of the drawings but of course i knew the answer to that, Never hurts to ask though.
