Yep, it's been there since 1973. It really would be a shame to see it go, and I feel like it'd make a great shaded queue/entrance for the Flyers but from what I understand the plans for the Flyers don't indicate that location. I guess it'd make a nice entrance sign to Copperhead Strike but I'm sorta "meh" on that.

Carowinds and conservation? Give me a second to ponder this. Ok, I back with my conclusion. That poor building won't survive the month of May.

Or invest in revamping County Fair and make more money in return than you would have by saving money not revamping it.

I second this

I don’t think they would just keep that building here until now when they already are full force with construction...... that’s is like the only thing left along with like 5 trees. I think it’s staying for maybe where they put a prop for SCarowinds or they could have a photo op for winterfest

I am seeing something on the camera this morning, not sure if it is new or if the sun is just in the right place but I am counting what looks like about 20 to 25 little stacks in the ground......can anyone else see what I am talking about? :think:

They were working all day. Their normal work hours appear to be around 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

This is very early on in the construction and I doubt they are in a time crunch at the moment to do overtime.
