CedarPointer Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I don't think that's a real IIS page. It uses a image used in Windows advertising... and "Cedarfair LP"? Red herring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Yes it looks legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersNSich Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Having seen photos of RED track sitting in the parking lot next to Thunder Road, I find it hard to believe that the ride would be called "White Lightning." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAHill Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 ^ I do too, but Silver Streak is blue. http://www.rcdb.com/734.htm?p=1625 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Well on the Carowinds website where they are advertising for the ride they have a word in white and gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback96 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Having seen photos of RED track sitting in the parking lot next to Thunder Road, I find it hard to believe that the ride would be called "White Lightning."

Dvo Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 if it were factory error, there's a very good chance the pieces would not still be on site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawana Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 The site is registered to Paramount Parks, Inc. What's that about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 One thing's for sure. If it's not legitimate, the purchaser of Paramount Parks will be interested in the registrant. Companies take matters like this very seriously. If it is legitimate, I trust that Cedar Fair Entertainment Company and/or Cedar Fair LP has the express permission to use Microsoft's marketing materials for other purposes. After all, lightning sometimes strikes twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 In that case, Terpy, CF's Legal Team, as well as Gates' (though I couldnt care less if he gets any satisfaction) had best be getting on this one with any type of trace methods they have ASAP. There are too many things that scream "not legit" about that page, and I would highly suggest anyone who has hit that link run a virus scan as I just did (came up clean btw).

CedarPointer Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 If it's *.carowinds.com, I'd assume that CF knows about it.

CincyMan98 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I was looking at RCDB and I saw that there was a coaster that was defunt in 1988, White Lightning. I don't think they'd be putting in a new coaster the same name. I guess that doesn't really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violakat03 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Considering there's nothing on that page, I wouldn't be surprised if they registered it just to keep people guessing, as White Lightning is the current front-runner in the rumor mill for the name. There's probably other ridename.carowinds.com pages that haven't been discovered yet, and the real one will be revealed in all it's glory when the ride is announced.

KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I guess we have to wait till the 26th to find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomkatt7 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 This reminds me of all the fun we had trying to guess the name of KI's new coaster. We just got a bunch of signs. I wonder if these types of web pages were out there, and nobody found them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
