Well I think Carowinds is pretty boring. I'm used to Cedar Point. To each his own. If a person has the money to spend to go on the slide, no need to call them a redneck. Heck, if I'm classified in that category...there must be a new breed of redneck. Mid-20s, athletic girl who wears designer clothes over here.

Carowinds is now owned by Cedar Fair, the operator of Cedar Point. And they have made significant upgrades in recent years, including the debut later this year of the world's tallest and fastest gigacoaster, Fury 325. This major attraction, along with Afterburn and Intimidator, will help Carowinds continue to improve as it strives to eventually become the Cedar Point of the Southeast. Also they will have significant food upgrades this year catering to the tastes of the Carolinas. As well as a new Slingshot ride. I think Afterburn and Intimidator are great rides and look forward to Fury 325 as a new landmark attraction.

Yes, it did. Slide the City must have been successful that it is coming soon to Spartanburg again.

I think it did. I am surprised any city would take on the liability of it. Who is insured and who pays if someone is injured?

So what would happen if they used grease from The Beacon to lubricate the slide?
