C3 2009 - The Wes Wing

Post by bgwfreak777 »

Saturday was the annual ACE event at Carowinds. With the popularity of Coaster Stock, this left us with only 22 attendees. That made for some great ERT sessions, which will probably never be repeated after this year with the addition of a certain B&M.

Anyway, here we go. I didn't take a lot of park pics, because frankly I've been to the park thousands of times, and you've probably seen all those pics anyway.

Here we go...

Image

You can see the base of the lift has arrived. Word from the park is that the lift hill will be done by October 31!

Image
I see you gray supports out there. I didn't forget you.

Image
On the way to our construction tour hosted by the park, we got a unique angle of the batwing on Afterburn that you normally can't ever get to.

Image
Got this pic? No, I didn't think so.

Image
Got gas?

Image
More rebar in the ground.

Image
Strange pine tree with branches only on one side.

Image
She's got a ticket to ride, and she don't care... One of the cars that's off the track.

Image
That's a 15 yard penalty for poor use of a Beatles song.

Image
Pour here.

Image
Pointy.

Image
Mine!

Image
Fixing a hole. This photo brought to you buy Beatles: Rock Band.

Image
Hey what's that?

Image
Coming along nicely.

Image
Sexy curves.

Image
Out with the old.

Image
We know about the website! You are under arrest!

Image
What in the world is a Carrick bend?

Image
Time for lunch.

Image
Something is missing here.

Image
Carolina reference #121,083? Check.

Image
I like this trend, but they look kinda meh.

Image
This is so me.

Image
Uh oh, Six Flags is taking over.

Image
No wait! They are being taken over by Disney!

Image
Gah!

Image
Did sweatbands come back in style while I was sleeping?

Image
I guess so.

Image
Got to have at least one Skytower shot.

Image
Uh oh, one of the birds from Mystery Mine escaped. Keep your boots on.

Image
Bart Kinzel, General Manger did a nice Q&A for us.

LOL at Darth Vadar in the background.

And that's all for this time around. Thanks to Carowinds and ACE for another great, relaxed event. Looking forward to an intimidating lineup next year!
