Woahh, nice find! I didn't notice that when I was there yesterday.

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

Just happend to notice it. Come over to my facebook page to see more pictures and videos etc.

[RW_Fury325]

Nice photos! Saw that blueprint on your FB page, and looking at the station you can see 8 gates, which is similar to how Time Traveler's trains are, 4 cars each containing two rows. Unless this is a shorter standard Mack launch train (since from what I understand the smallest they've done is 5 cars.) I feel like this layout would be too dull as just a standard Mack launch, which is why I'm rooting for a spinner. Two loops? Lol

[tarheel1231]

Icon at BPB will have a four-car train, though I think I’m starting to lean towards the Spinner side as well. Not necessarily because it’s what I want, but because I’m starting think it’s incredibly likely. Launched Spinning Coasters are still a novelty and it will be incredibly marketable for the park. That, and the layout is indeed similar to Time Traveler. This could be the world’s tallest and fastest spinning coaster as opposed to just being a normal launched coaster.

As this point as long as it’s more of a rotation than a true spin, I couldn’t care less. It’ll be fun

Looks like logging on to the construction cam is being finicky again can’t get it to come up

[uscbandfan]

It's because they're hauling in some proprietary items and other things that will give away too much information.

[CCookieMonster]

Haha! Even I know that's sarcasm without the sarcastic figure.

Does anyone notice on the so called "blueprints" there is a solid line stretching thought it. Is that the state line? The plans are so blurry hard to tell...

[tarheel1231]

While it’s relatively close, no part of the site for the coaster crosses the state line, so Project Alpha would be entirely within South Carolina.

Is the webcam down for you guys as well? Mine is just a white screen with Carowinds logo.

[fonzlinney]

Yes Dirk it seems the web cam is down it’s been very finicky of late

[Thrill Capture]

Someone I know sent this pic of what he believes to be a footer seen on the webcam earlier when it was on. I'm not sure what this really is tbh

[tarheel1231]

Nope. They’re not going to pour concrete for one single footer at a time. When we see footer work (which should be very soon), we’ll see several holes being dug with rebar outlines on top spread throughout the site.

That is likely just leftover destroyed concrete they hadn't moved elsewhere yet. A picture I posted earlier has a pile of demo'd concrete in that exact spot.
