Codyfryguy 728 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 Racer Retrack? That's what I was thinking... a retract with a new light package and paint.... maybe backwards racer? But the last one is a bit of a stretch Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 5 Link to post Share on other sites
JAHill 994 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 My actual, non-cheeky guess: Repainted Racer, new light package, station and queue refurb (with historical queue signage), extensive retrack (possibly by RMC), new trains, and one side runs backwards again. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

medford 4392 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Loop The Racer, retrack and add in a transition element so that the 2nd half of the ride is ridden backwards all while enhancing the timing aspect to ensure that a true "racing" element is brought back. Possibilities are great, "tiques, enterprise, ice show to the feshaus, SOB re-do, etc.... Of course of all those ideas, mine is the best (unless KI has something better they reveal tomorrow) 2 Link to post Share on other sites
JubJester 5246 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 The picture is basically the whole park, so I'm guessing they're bringing back the cornfields! I say it's a Racer refurbishment. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Rivertown Rider 1928 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I think they will do some work on Racer but my prediction is bringing our original Flying Eagles back or bringing back the Antiques. If it was both that would be exceptional. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Winterfestguy 270 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Could the antique cars all refurbished finally be making their comeback! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Imperial79 2148 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I hope it’s the Antique cars, the Skyride or our Flying Eagles coming back. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
LuvingKI 706 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Flying Eagles is cool, but KI has to come better then that Skyride or SOB would be a hard choice for me, My wife and I always mention Skyride when we get tired, but SOB would be a huge win for all 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Rifleman 110 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 They would not be making the announcement on National Roller Coaster Day if it was the return of the cars, skyride, or any other non roller coaster attraction. My guess is an announcement of a refurbishment of The Racer, and a return of the backwards facing cars on the blue track. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Kenban 2389 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I have heard rumors of a lighting package on the Racer and a flat ride. I could see more work being done on The Racer then just lighting but have not heard anything. Lots of options for a flat ride, one of the flats purchased in Europe was announced for Carowinds but never installed. Carowinds never reinstalled the flyers after they were removed. Could be something new even. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
