  • Carowinds to Close Flying Super Saturator

    Get Wet While You Can – Flying Super Saturator to Close
    Carowinds will close Flying Super Saturator at end of the 2007 season. FSS is a steel suspended coaster where guests could use water canons mounted near the ride to shoot water at riders. Its a very similar coaster to the RollerSoaker at Hersheypark. No word yet as to why the coaster is being removed. I would assume it that ridership was low and/or the cost of operation was high.

    *UPDATE*- Flying Super Saturator will be removed to make room for Geauga Lake’s Boomerang coaster, formerly known as Head Spin. Read more here.

    Anyone sad to see Flying Super Saturator to go? Any guesses as to what Carowinds will put in its place? Leave a comment below.
