Kalahari and CP's Castaway Bay have rides that are either belt-driven (Kalahari) or water-driven (CB) raft rides, with safety-netting surrounding the ride...NOT really a coaster..... The ride at Carowinds has steel tubing for the frame, and a 4-person train per group...more of a coaster than what the indoor waterparks have.

I wonder if the ride has been problematic or if Cedar Fair had had trouble with Setpoint. Remember the whole Knotts ordeal with Windjammer? Cedar Fair Took Togo to court! Not sure who won, though!

To think that maybe CF has other plans for FSS' site and in wanting to move it to another park they want Setpoint to refurb it but they declined?  I guess there's too much "what if's" in this scenario.

The only thing for sure is that by late May of 08 we will know. That is unless someone "ahem" leaks news before CF announced it. Nahhh, thats never been done before.

Well supposedly theres a rumor going around that Carowinds might be getting a new coaster so maybe the Super Saturator may take up valuable space for a new coaster...I haven't heard of any issues with the ride, so either the park doesn't want it anymore or they are taking it out to make room for a new coaster or new ride.

I would hate to test ride that thing in the morning... having to get soaked before the park even opened... _________________ 2008 - Cedar Point - Raptor - Crew Member 2007 - Thunderhawk - Crew Member
