Anaconda Slated for Demolition

[paintervision]

They built a new underwater tunnel for Yukon Striker. Hopefully KD can get creative with the landscaping too. Anaconda's tunnel is virtually useless but I think it's within budget to start from scratch if they wanted to utilize the lake in another way.

No telling what's in store for KD, but I would bet a dive coaster like Yukon Striker would come to Carowinds in the middle of the park like that, replacing Nighthawk (and maybe Vortex?).

With Corporate selling off land around the park, maybe it's not a bad thing to have a big space for redevelopment? My guess for KD would be another round of Planet Snoopy improvements - maybe turning part of it into Camp Snoopy and putting in something like the newer coasters KI/CW/Knotts just got?

They also updated the restaurant & painted Baja bends in the north side of the water park, but I suspect we're both providing anecdotal evidence. The idea that six flags would restore the lake without any large marketable addition associated with that is wishful thinking

Seeing the new victoria pizza bar has made me rethink this comment from a few months back. If they put the lake back, i’m sure they would make a ton of money there. & they could put another one in jungle

Happy 1-year anniversary to the best theme park announcement in history!
