Something to consider:

While studying Carowinds, Cedar Fair determined it should become a top-tier park, bringing in many more guests than the current 2 million a year. That would require expanding attractions. For example, Carowinds had less than half of the number of water-park activities as Kings Island near Cincinnati

The key word in the future will be 'had.'

So today I finally got to see the new crate in person and I loved the sound effects coming from it. I would love to have a beach town type of look to the water park area.

^Sound effects? I didn't know about sound effects. What are they like?

[RollerBee]

^^Sound effects? This is first anyone has said about sound effects!

[sccoasterbear]

To us it sounded like seagulls and waves rolling in.

Guys...why in the HELL would they trademark the name for a water fortress? Are you guys joking or really serious?

[Chris]

I was pretty serious. Whoops.

I didn't hear any sound effects when I was there...

[coasterbruh]

^Because that is the "Big Splash", Six Flags has a trademark on VooDoo, a Huss Top Spin.....

They also wrap their coasters in advertisements...and consider Rings of Fire roller coasters.
Guys, They not gonna trademark "Carolina harbor" to sell keychains, shirts, umbrellas...etc for just a playground...

Cedar Fair says Pipe Scream, Tiki Twirl, and Avatar are coasters. Zamperla and Larson market them has coasters so there for they are roller coasters.

A rollerCOASTER consists of a train which coasts along the track without any help (with the exception of a lift hill/launch which gives the train the necessary energy to complete the course.) The trains on Larson Loopers are stationary and the trains on Zamperla rides like Pipe Scream are propelled through the entire course. Thus neither can be considered coasters. Truthfully, whenever a park decides to call one a coaster, it's just a cop-out used to make their count look better.

^Explain Mack Powered Coasters like Thunder Run at Canada's Wonderland please. Or how Disk-o Coasters valley.

[cwgator]

So should I count Wild Bull (Bayern Kurve ride) as a powered coaster then? It was on a track and all. Hmmmm...

If it's not listed on RCDB I don't count it.
