Looks a lot nicer then I would have usually expected for a boomerang coaster that came from another park!

It looks like you got a great banquet of an event for your coverage Carowinds. You and Cedar Fair execs have been drinking the same Koolaid. hehehe The canopies look nice for the line. The roof on the station looks cool.

I could be wrong, but I think the station is the one that was at Geauga Lake. It sure looks like it.

The park really did a nice job landscaping around the ride and such. It's nice to see them take pride in what could easily have been a parking lot coaster type thing.

I'll get my photos up shortly and video too...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised with them taking the station roof along for the ride. Possessed(Voodoo-Steel Venom-Superman Ultimate Escape) took along the roof from Ohio to Dorney.

I think it's a new roof. I remeber the old roof being a black and white checkerboard tarp but i honestly can't remeber that far back. Last time i rode Head Spin was in 2003.

Someone from the ohio area who saw the ride alot more than i did would know for sure but i believe the old roof was just a tarp.

CoasterGall... In 2000 that's what it looked like. Sorry if I spoiled the party.

NO! I will fight you to the death!!!

Honestly my memory on stuff like that isn't the best anymore, unless its at a park I go to all the time and I went to GLake once before its demise.

That was before Cedar Fair took over so maybe there is still a photo of their magic.

Wow Im really impressed, it looks great, thanks for the pics. I cant wait to ride it. I probably wont make it til June. The only thing Im not looking forward to is the lines so I'll just have to hit it 1st thing. Maybe this will calm the lines for nighthawk. BTW nighthawk's new paint job looks awesome. Im really liking what Carowinds has done for the 2009 season.

Wes was right with his Nighthawk comparison to Batwing now.
