I don't think its a bad shot, its kinda neat how you can see the fog in the background

Wow the excitement is really palpable, even from afar! I wish I could be there in person with everyone, but sadly adulting calls But I am super excited to watch the live stream tonight! Can't wait to finally see the reveal! You might say I'm feeling pretty psyched!

Maybe they brought him back as zombie, and it was those zombie experiments that brought on a zombie apocalypse which ended the world?

Lol so maybe we're getting a coaster that's so massive and record breaking that it won't be done until Christmas of next year?

Maybe that's the actual theme - the end of the world for coaster enthusiasts after they built up all of this hype with the teaser campaign and then the coaster is a total let down. Well maybe not the end of the world for some of the carowinds fans...

Santa also didn't have 4 arms in the other copy

I always thought Polaris was less likely as a name given that. Star in the sense that its the star attraction. If the coaster did actually have a height of 286 or 296 as people have taken from the blueprints, that would hardly make it a start attraction when you have 3 taller coasters in the chain further north. But...if it does actually rise to a height of 355 that would certainly make it a contender for star attraction, albeit its hardly the most northern park. Though with the potential meteor theme I still think this name is less likely.

I noticed they bothered to circle the 25th of December on the calendar, which is Christmas day and obviously relevant to Santa Claus, but I wonder if it might have another meaning...maybe some landmark in the construction process? They finished the lift hill on Fury in early December of the year construction started, maybe our hypothetical 355' lift hill will finally be complete that day? Seems too early for all construction to be complete though.

Ok cool, now that I can see the whole picture I see what you mean. And that is interesting...I hope that's actually the height of our coaster!!!

Well I don't think I'm seeing anything that points specifically to 355, or am I missing something in plain sight?

I saw the flight of cheer stuff as well, what from that made you think the height would be 355?

This got me thinking, if this is the theming they're shooting for, perhaps that was born from knowing that the coaster would drop into a ditch. Perhaps that's supposed to be the 'crater' after impact? Maybe the story is meant to go that world effectively ended due to a meteor strike and now we're going into the resultant crater. Or maybe it wasn't a meteor...maybe the planet got hit by something from an alien world and then whatever came out of it ended the world. Maybe the world it came from was the same that the aliens in Flight of Fear came from. Or maybe we (the riders) are the meteor, or the thing that came from the alien world... Or maybe I'm thinking way too much into all of this. Either way these new clues have definitely re-ignited decoding!

What stickers are you talking about? I can't see any on the announcement poster - did they just add them?

I believe you are the first! I didn't see that one when I was there yesterday evening. Did they put it to the left or right of the rest of the posters?

Out in front of Flight of Fear, at 10pm on 8/15
