RE: Hurler Closed for 2016
From my own perspective, based on being at the presentation at KD that morning, I don't see anyone riding Hurler in 2017.
There has been much raving about what the last slide in the presentation meant by "There's more to come". This causes some folks to fixate on Hurler being reincarnated in some form for 2017. But, I wonder if that is pointing to something else.
Example, last year when Carowinds announced Carolina Harbor for 2016, they gave out a tease concerning the "Plants vs. Zombies" attraction. But, CW park officials stated that announcement would come later in the fall (to groans by those attending the event). Could it be that KD will get a dark attraction, theme TBD, in one of the Action Theaters? That possibility sits at the top of my list for a "bonus" 2017 attraction.
"More to Come" could mean that the park finishes the Carousel Restoration (maybe get the band organ restored and playing). This could mean refreshing the area around the Carousel by brick pavers in the pathways, etc.
There could be a small possibility of another flat ride being added to CAG. Nothing that would be considered "front page news" for 2017. Could it be a refurbished Enterprise (Valley Fair's?).
"More to Come" could simply mean new entertainment, new or expanded special events, or a concert series for 2017.

RE: Hurler Closed for 2016
But the sentence didn't say "There's More To Come," it said "There's Really More Coming!" That doesn't hint at any additional attractions being announced for 2017. It's just saying that the park is adding more attractions to their lineup and more perks for their guests.
I'm not saying something else absolutely won't be announced, but that sentence doesn't hint an additional announcement.

RE: Hurler Closed for 2016
They really don't. Sentences that suggest an additional announcement sound closer to "Stay Tuned," "(And) There's more to come," or "But that's not all." Again, I'm not saying something else absolutely won't be announced, but I would not expect anything else.

Words have meaning?
Wait, they did? Are you sure of that? I would love to know what source you have that gave you their annual capital investment budget. Further they are permitted to bank those dollars from year to year? Would you mind showing us the corporate memo that allows for that somewhat unusual process.

I'm not advocating anything, but in case anyone doesn't know about the theory:
Really More Coming

Refill My Coke?
I'm curious about what everyone's thought about the "Really More Coming" tagline is. Do you all think it's merely a coincidence that it spells out RMC, or did the park intentionally it? Mind you, they could have created the acronym just to mess with our heads, but it would still be intentional.
So which do you think it is... weird coincidence or devilish purposefulness ?
