Look at how Behemoth just towers right through and over the "parking structure" of the Backlot Stunt Coaster at Canada's Wonderland. They can put it anywhere they want.

I'm still loving Carowinds!!!!

We at Carowinds could use a new bathroom next to Hurler. It was in bad shape last time I went.

All repeat after me...

It seems the rumor might be true after all if the staff knew about it.

The ride operators ain't going to know let alone give a crap whether it is the last day forever for Log Flume. Log Flume is still listed on Carowinds.com, and there has no tell-tell signs of removal like there has been in the past.

They should know. The Frenzoid staff knew when it's last day was. Same goes for the Saturator staff.

Plus these were not just operators i saw riding. I saw both maintenance and ops riding and they should know as well at the ride ops. Usually if a ride is getting removed the current operators are in the know.

Yes the staff could have lied to me so we'll just have to see later. Plus with the season over i'm sure removeing the flume from the website is the last thing on their mind.

Right back at you Wes

I don't care, I'd love a regular hyper (or any hyper at this point) but just give us a hyper Dick!

And remember... just because (if they are) they remove the log flume, that doesn't automatically signal a new coaster is coming. It could be a flat or maybe even a new water ride. The last new water ride we got was the rapids in the early 80's wasn't it?

Ah forget diplomacy... *HYPER**HYPER**HYPER**HYPER**HYPER**HYPER**HYPER** HYPER**HYPER**HYPER**HYPER**HYPER**HYPER*

The last water ride we got was Saturator, and before that was Whitewater Falls.

Carowinds 2007 deja vu...
remember that picture of Carowinds 2008 with the photoshopped hyper?

It's pretty obvious that those are just two copy+pasted pictures right next to each other...

Yeah, I merged your posts. Combined 'em.

It's going to be a long offseason. Follow that Cobra Construction action, even though we've seen pics of boomerang models a million times on the internet. The paint rally to paint the Carowinds coasters seem like a more definite cause.

What do you guys think about daddy's boy Bart Kinzel getting moved into the GM spot at carowinds? Just looking at his track record kind of scares me.
