malem Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 5 classic flats for Carowinds? Maybe they won't need Coney Island of Ohio's Eagles anymore. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Short and sweet assessment of the article: Kings Island doesn't get anything they found KI already has a Troika and a Wave Swinger. I wouldn't mind having one of those other rides though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondhawk Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Taking 5 of 7 rides seems a bit greedy to me. I think we should distribute the wealth... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Well, I guess it's now confirmed that Carowinds is getting that Top Scan! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Of course we want more more more, but in a glass half full mode we are we very lucky as a park to have: a scrambler, Shake Rattle Roll, Monster, An Eagles type ride, the swing ride near FoF, a Merry Go Round, a jr Whip, a few car rides for the kids, and not mention the big flats of DT, WS, and Delirium. I mean what else do we need to fill a gap that's not really offered by what we have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar92 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm OK with Carowinds getting five of their rides. Carowinds has felt too much like what I call a "coaster park" the last couple of times I've been there. Some mid-to-high thrill flats are precisely what they needed to fill the gaps in their ride lineup, in my opinion. Interesting that Carowinds would get the Wave Swinger. I had never heard of any issues with their Yo-Yo, and the rides are VERY similar. Though a Wave Swinger is higher capacity to my knowledge, and perhaps that has a lot to do with it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial79 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I remember Greg at the 2016 announcement, smiling and saying towards the end, there is more stuff on the way. I don't get the feeling he was just talking about 2016, seemed like he was hinting at 17 too. So there's that we can hope for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSkippy Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Wait a minute, FIVE are going to Carowinds? Good grief. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerNut Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 The Carowinds Yo Yo doesn't Yoyo like a Yo Yo should, it doesn't tilt much if at all. Carowinds had a Wave Swinger from 1979 to 2000 when it was sent to PGA. I am super excited to have one again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 A well functioning YoYo is a thing of joy. Carowinds' is a thing of meh. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Apparently the flats aren't it. They released a video on their Facebook page that featured the news articles and it ended with this: Sent from the cellphone Zach Morris used in Saved By The Bell using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperial79 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I wonder if they've found anything in Japan. Hope we get to hear something soon, maybe a month or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 If you guys like Tilt-a-Whirls you really should try the one at Camden Park it ran for about 5 straight minutes I've been on it several times in the past couple of years. When you throw your weight into it, the cars spin really fast. They are fun and ran pretty long. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
