Maybe it's another lake similar to Nighthawk's

Thumbs up to water!!!

They are quickly covering that up with dirt.

been playing around on the york county government permitting web site
interesting that when you click on the map and search for permits at Carowinds, you get them listed all the way back to 2010. Clicking on the project name lights up where on the map the project will be.

When I click on 2019 Project Alpha, the map lights up in 2 places...the area being graded with drainage, and a the huge section next to the road. I suspect the section next to the road being cleared matches the area on the map, and it's probably all drainage related. anyone else know?

This is the web URL of what I was playing with:
https://maps.yorkcountygov.com/gvh5/ind ... eme=Zoning

this is what it looks like on the map

Haha maybe the Hades concept isn't all too crazy after all (though it definitely is).

[uscbandfan]

hmmmm. Trying to open that "coaster tunnel" door again?

I like it. Not saying there's a chance for it... but I like it.

[Rosko97]

I doubt there is a coaster tunnel or anything because I feel like we'd see activity in the parking lot...but it is interesting that the area by the road is considered part of this project...

[SafetySam]

It is interesting that both are on the same permit, it could be significant or it could just be that they wanted to save paperwork. I don't really foresee a tunnel but I could easily see an over and back across that small section of the parking lot....and yes there is room for that but still I highly doubt it will happen

I recall that same area being worked on for Carolina Harbor back in 2015.
Here is a pic that wormy posted...
It looks like it may have been drainage work related to the new exit, so I'm not sure

[tarheel1231]

If the leaked layout is real, and I suspect that it is, the parking lot is far to large for the layout to cover. I'd have to agree with others that it's likely drainage similar to the ponds dug in 2014 for the renovations.

[Jrlooney88]

That's what i'm thinking too, when I was there a few weeks ago, that storm water pond across the parking lot (the one we are referencing) had more than quadrupled in size.

The tarp is right over where they were digging up the cement for WWF old splashdown. And also we have our first footer and they are covering it up horribly. Also where did you get the picture from? The park is closed currently

[tarheel1231]

I don't see a footer. Are you referring to that area with the caution tape surrounding it?

[Christopher Mallis]

I believe that it is a footer. Not completely sure though

[tarheel1231]

No idea what that is, but it's not a footer. There's no way a footer that size could have been constructed within a day.
