In an effort to look like the other Cedar Fair parks, Carowinds have just announced that they are getting a Dinosaurs Alive! attraction next year. 2013 is their 40th anniversary year, too.

I've been watching the excitement unfold on Twitter for the last ten minutes but now I have to build a chest of drawers. I'll post more info later when the press release comes through/when the drawers are finished.

Let me know when y'all go. Nighthawk spited me the one time I was there and I'd very much like that cred.

Press release...

NEW DRAWERS FIT PERFECTLY
The Bell Tower, Eastleigh, UK.
The Bell Tower Tower is proud to announce a new $200 addition to it's furniture line up.

Debuting earlier than the projected 2013 is a walnut shelled and black glass fronted four drawer chest. Separated into four equal compartments and measuring 84x117x40cms, this amazing flat-packed-for-home-construction item is perfect for storing sparsely worn clothing. Extra storage or display space can ultalized by using the dust-attracting flat surface known as 'D' on the assembly instructions. Ian Bell, Resident of The Bell Tower, said,"If I was a rubbish stand-up comedian, I'd make a joke about getting to the end of the flat pack instructions only to realise I'm missing part G - a 9mm link screw - but everything went to plan and the drawers ended up complete and stand secure in the bedroom." The main purpose of the drawers is to support a 32" flat screen television.

I've not heard anything else about Carowind's Dinosaurs Alive! except that it will be the largest animatronic dinosaur park in the Southeast, taking over a five acre area.. It will feature 32 animated dinosaurs. No confirmation that there'll be an up-charge but you can bet your bottom dollar there will be.

I really wonder why they think these actually ADD to the already bloated financial experience that is an amusement park. It's depressing really.

I plan to but it's really going to cut into my gasoline storage (yes I actually have a gasoline storage at my dad's house).

From what I've experienced and from the numbers I've looked at, Carowinds is a very heavy Season Pass holder park. There's not a lot of one time visitors like with other CF parks. Dinos Alive needs to die, it really does...
