Went to Carowinds today for the first time

Yeah, I'd definitely like to ride some of those but it still doesn't justify going to Ohio.

I turned down a Job to be the HR Manager in Kings Island bc I would not move to Ohio..now I live in SC..not sure if made good decision...

well no Kings Island anymore or Paramount's Kings Island.

I was one of the first to ride the Afterburner(or Top Gun) when they built it. If one has never rode it on front row it is an incredible fun ride and not just a scare...great fun! My fave Coaster of all of them.

I cannot stand Thunderroad as the wood coaster are so rough.

btw cedar point has 17 coasters, carowinds has 13, which is more than these parks:

 

Hersheypark Hershey Pennsylvania United States 11

Knott's Berry Farm Buena Park California United States 9

Dorney Park Allentown Pennsylvania United States 8

Kings Island Mason Ohio United States 8

 

remember what i said about carowinds being underappreciated and locals being too cool for school?

 

throwing out cedar point like that backs it up

I'm sure it was better than investing in a house in Ohio. Top Gun is my favorite ride of all time, mainly because I remember being the right age to want to go to carowinds every weekend when it came out. It's, like PSC said a very underrated roller coaster.  The one like it at six flags over GA is the Batman Ride and I swear I couldn't get out of my hotel bed the next morning and it wasn't the hotel bed either.

It is not just the number of coasters at CP, but the quality of them.

 

Carowinds has a couple of good coasters out of their 13.  But, CP has many more.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
