tbf it would take one of the baddest launch coasters on the planet to top fury.  i'm not talking top thrill dragster or kingda ka, but a monster version of the incredible hulk or thunderbird.

topping fury is borderline unrealistic, but it could happen in the future

i'd be happy with a sweet ass RMC

fury owns. i rode it 5 times in like 30 minutes. there was no one in line. do people not like it or did i just happen to be lucky that day?

at the beginning of the day and end of day you can pretty much just ride the best rides back to back , mid day is when the waits usually happen

fury is a people eater too, and the highest capacity coaster in the park.  first night it opened, the line stretched through the entire queue, and then back around a makeshift wall behind rip roaring rapids, and it still only took about 45 minutes to an hour to get through the line.

if you go on a weds, you can pretty much ride it like that all day long.

Wait, they got rid of white water falls!?!?! WTF. And your pic includes the wave pool... did they get rid of that too!? God damnit, you move away from charlotte for a few years and they trash your childhood memories to poo.

Next thing you know, they'll get rid of Hanna-Barbera Land.

no Carowinds has 2 wave pools.  They got rid of the BS, peace and quiet kiddie pool no one used.  Carolina Harbor has been redone, it does not need this waste of space.  And not sure if you are being serious, but Hana Barbera has been gone for some time and is now Camp Snoopy.

Oh, I see the difference in the pools now on the map. I haven't been in probably 10 years; I'll probably give it another year or two until my kid is big enough to ride the kiddie rides.

I wasn't being serious about Hanna Barbera - I think it was rebranded when Paramount took over - I do miss it though, those characters were the best and Smurf Island was baller for 5 year old me.

Fun story, when I was like 4, I went on the scooby doo wooden coaster with my mom and climbed out of the car mid-ride and into another car - she was stuck in the car by the restraints and couldnt get me so the people in the other car had to hold on to me until the ride was over.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
