That is genuinely shocking because Ripcord is one of the chain’s best performing upcharges/skycoasters. This is due to it being right up in the front.
 
Nothing warms my heart quite like the removal of more trashy upcharge attractions. Absolutely love to see it.
Excluding the Scarowinds maze band last year, and fast lane sometimes, (and lockers which are basically essential), I've never paid nor have ever wanted to pay for an uncharge at a theme park. Especially these rides, which seem incredibly scammy.
 
I posted it in r/carowinds, but the mods are saying it’s still up.

The park is incredibly accessible from all angles, if there were a crane dismantling an attraction surely someone would've snapped a better photo.

Ripcord probably isn't being removed if a photo doesn't pop up this morning with a crane towering over Carowinds.

That being said, I got excited thinking they may actually get rid of the Nighthawk footers when demolishing Ripcord. Bummer!

A local news channel was at Carowinds today, and it appears that Ripcord is still standing.

No clue what the crane was for though, maybe just an old picture from when Nighthawk was being removed.

Good on them for using the parking lot to house bucket trucks, but why are we acting like the apocalypse is tomorrow?
 
I am so confused. What on earth would they need that massive crane for? They would not need a crane to remove footers, and the crane is directly over the rip cord. Could someone look into whether any permits were filed for any work?
