Granny's Cooking Up a Big Secret Recipe for Carowinds' 2019 Attraction


The Carowinds 2019 teasers are continuing to be shared by the theme park not only on construction fences, but also on social media as well.  The park is keeping up with curious fans who want to know more about their big 2019 project, which still remains (officially) a mystery.  The latest teaser is part of a weekly reveal that appears to be giving more information on the ride, which is very heavily believed to be a new roller coaster.

This is the information released on the first week.  Before we look at that though, take notice of the words used in the Tweet above - roll, launch, maneuvers - all elements found on a roller coaster.  Also, "packs a bite!" could fit in with the rumored snake theme.

The first two items on Granny's Secret Recipe are a cooking time of 2 minutes and 24 seconds, which seems like a pretty obvious ride time.  Then we also have serves 16 people, which I take to mean that the coaster's trains will each have 16 people.  Not a lot of roller coasters have trains that seat 16 people as that is a bit lower than average, unless there are many trains on the course at one time.  Time Traveler at Silver Dollar City is one recent example, and Icon at Blackpool Pleasure Beach is another.

One other sign that the park posted on their construction wall can be seen above, which contains several amusing items.  For one, the logo background is the same that was used on both Mean Streak at Cedar Point and Detonator at Worlds of Fun.  But the funniest part is the use of Centurion, which was used by the park as the fake name for Fury 325 right up until the day of the official announcement.  Very clever, Carowinds!
