News: Carowinds hints at snakes

Posted at 8:41 AM EDT (1241 GMT)

Aug. 13th, 2008 -- Carowinds, much like Holiday World, is dropping hints of its plans for 2009.

 

Within the past few weeks a strange box appeared outside the park with script saying things like “Caution Live Animal” and “Live Reptiles."

Now something that looks like an image of a crate with the text “Some worship these, others fear them …” has started appearing on the park’s Web site.

Some speculate the new attraction could reuse the old Kings Island name of King Cobra.

Roller coater track that appears to be from the old Head Spin from Geauga Lake has started appearing in the parking lot next to Thunder Road.

Nothing has officially been announced yet by the park, so we’ll just have to watch and wait and see what slithers into the park next year.

For more information visit Carowinds.

It seems CF is doing a snake theme for 2009. The same boxes can be seen at VF from what i hear.

The Official announcement is Sep 10th.

I honestly hope its Cobra but i would not be suprised if CF named all 3 coasters Diamonback.

We'll find out in about a month.

Worlds of Fun also has a box.

It hints towards a tiger or something else, though.

Cedar Fair has been going pretty crazy this year with additions!

Oh ok. Thanks. So atleast VF will be something different so maybe Carowinds will get a different name than KI.

Valleyfair has a box? This is news to me.

Worlds of Fun has one, but it is not Snake themed... and honestly it looks WOF's wooden coaster could be named PROWLER.

The name showed up on the USPTO website under names registered to Cedar Fair.

I saw another pic that says something like "Do not lift this hood".

Cobras have what is called a hood, or what they flex so that their neck grows like it does when they feel threatened.

It also says "they've been known to strike twice". lol

At least they didn't just move it and still called it Head Ache, I mean Head Spin.
