what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Maybe they're going to announce the start of the beloved parking garage. Or could this be the year the South Gate closes indefinitely or maybe the last year of Hurler? lol just throwing ideas out there.

While I agree it is wishful thinking...if you look at the statistics though, carowinds has the highest coaster per flat ride ratio. The park is seriously lacking the "new" innovative flat rides that parks like Dollywood, Kings Island, Kings Dominion, and heck even Cedar Point are offering their guests. And one thing I DO NOT like about the layout of the park is the fact that almost all of the flat rides are in Planet Snoopy. I am a roller coaster nut but still there are adults out there who Carowinds is not tailoring to because these people won't ride a roller coaster for whatever reason, but they'll ride something like a Tilt-a-whirl or even something like The Crypt at KD.

Something tells me that while Carowinds is making the biggest investment ever in its 37 year history (and yes all the stuff going on with CP and Apollo may/may not help)....I wouldn't be hard pressed to find that we'll get some "new" flats very VERY soon.

Can I get a complete listing of all the parks with this super-official statistic?


All you have to do is go to the ride warriors website. They list all of the CF parks stating the number of coasters and the number of rides. All you have to do is simple math.

Poor kid just put his foot in his mouth. Who would say carowinds has the highest ratio, as if their speaking in comparison of ALL theme parks but are merely going to a site with just cedar fair parks!

My bad everyone. Anyways moving on.....
