The 2019 Winter Warm Up was held at Carowinds amusement park, showcasing numerous updates from the best and brightest parks in the region. Prior to a weather-shortened construction tour of Carowinds' Copperhead Strike roller coaster, presentations were made by Alabama Adventure & Splash Adventure, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Six Flags Over Georgia, Dollywood, and Carowinds. This annual event is held by and for American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE). The event was jam-packed with great news from the parks, interactive questions from the members in attendance, great food, and so much more!
Special thank you to all of the park representatives, to the regional ACE team, ACE President, and all of those who made this annual event happen!
Note: The breaking news portion of the Six Flags Over Georgia presentation is embargoed until the announcement is finalized and made public by Six Flags. More to come on that soon!

With about two months until Carowinds opens its gates for the 2019 season, we had an opportunity to tour the construction site of its latest thrill attraction, Copperhead Strike, a dual launch coaster set to open in March. With track already completed and much detailed work (i.e. electrical and theming) underway, the coaster project is on track to open as scheduled. Take a look at all of the progress thats been made in recent weeks and months. Coaster Addicts Butch, Sandi, and Luke were at the park for the tour on January 16, 2019. In addition to the coaster project and newly-reimagined themed area, Blue Ridge Junction, the park is hard at work on a new hotel project (SpringHill Suites by Marriott).
