Off the original topic, but yes, the whirligig park in Wilson is very cool. We went for their annual Whirligig Festival. Even tho it was a very cloudy day it was fun and crowded. The whirligigs are massive. There's lots of pictures of them on Yelp under Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park.
I'm still waiting on the castle themed restaurant on East Chatham Street.
I don't have any data, but I would guess that the population of the Triangle is the largest in the country without an amusement park within 2 hours away. Carowinds and Kings Dominion are 3+ hours away and I'm not counting the water park in Greensboro.
Everyone I've mentioned it to say that land would just be too expensive. Where would it go? Some have suggested I-40/I-95 , but I think that's too far away from the population of the Triangle.
