rcwizard13 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 ^ Oh, wow! It opens next week already. Has this off season has been going incredibly fast for anyone else or is it just me? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubJester Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 ^ Oh, wow! It opens next week already. Has this off season has been going incredibly fast for anyone else or is it just me? Yes, it has been going very fast for me too! The two longest months for me were November and December and they didn't feel dragged out at all! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBEASTunchained Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Just checked out the Fury 325 webcam facing the underground dive and all I can say is Wow!..... You HAVE to check out the "lightning bolt" lights striking back and forth under the tunnel! Amazing! ....On a somewhat related note....Lights have also been placed and aimed upwards at the support beams making them glow into the night.

MDMC01 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Carowinds' new entrance reminds me a bit of Cedar Point's entrance; I think everything's gonna look really cool when it's done! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsus Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I think that's kinda the idea. Corporate identity, same designers, and all. Yep, there are definitely a lot of similarities between the improvements throughout the chain. Leviathan (or one of its predecessors?) started the massive entrance signage trend, Banshee improved it by adding fog and lights, and Fury 325 is repeating that. Just one example of the evolution of things. And of course both Carowinds' and Cedar Point's new entrances are crop circles. Aliens! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcwizard13 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Actually I'd like to think Leviathan started the massive sign trend. Also, a bit ahead of their time, both Intimidator projects incorporated rather large entrance plazas.

jsus Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Okay, okay, I wasn't thinking back far enough. It was definitely Leviathan, unless something else came before it. That's beside the point, but thanks for the reminder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrocoasterkid Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Since Cedar Fair seems to be incorporating new rides into front entrance redesigns (and doing a great job at it IMO), hopefully Kings Island is next on their list! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
