I think it would be cool if we got a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter roller coaster, something like "Mystery Mine " at dollywood. They don't take up much space, it is a fun coaster with the vertical lifts and vertial drops. If we were to get something like that I would prefer it to have a larger drop and couple more inversions and still be heavily themed.


Also, i wish B&M would come out with a wood, just imagine all the airtime it would have and how smooth it would be.

Intamin wood is the best wood I've been on, even if many feel it isn't 'real' wood.

As for B&M wood, if they can't even get the trains to be comfortable (and they didn't when they built trains for Psyclone), then I'd prefer them not to make a trim filled wooden coaster.

Jay, intamin woods are great, i was just saying since "most" all of b&m steel are super smooth, if they were to build a wood i am sure it would be great.

I wasn't aware B&M built trains for a wood already. My bad.

i dont think they should build a water ride we need more roller coasters someing like the seats of cobra but track like cyclone maybe they could name it aftershock have a lift hill at 180ft and about 160ft drop at speeds up to 65mph with about 6 to 8 inversions that would be a cool ride :D

Ok time for some edumakashun about Carowinds and the number of roller coasters at the park.

Carowinds has 13 coasters. Do you know how many parks in the US have more than 13 coasters? Unless I'm forgetting something, there would be a grand total of 4 - Cedar Point, Kings Island, Kings Dominion, and Six Flags Magic Mountain. There's a handful that also have 13. So Carowinds is not in any way shape or form lacking in coasters. Ok, many of them are short and not exactly world-class, but they're there.

And for the bonus fact of the day Carowinds now ranks #2 in the world in number of inversions, behind only SF Magic Mountain. The park must have moved up when SF Great Adventure recently removed Scream Machine. Gotta love RCDB for keeping a running tally of this kinda thing.
