Mysterious Box Appears at Carowinds, Teasing 2009 Roller
Coaster
ScreamScape has pretty much confirmed the rumors that Carowinds (located near Charlotte, NC) will be getting a relocated Vekoma Boomerang next year. The coaster is shuttle coaster that was formerly Head Spin at Geauga Lake. Now a box has mysteriously appeared at the park’s entrance. Like, Cedar Fair did with Kings Island’s Diamondback, Carowind’s is teasing the new ride with another unknown ‘beast in a box’ teaser. This time its an actual box and not a teaser web page. The box is a crate that been shipped from oversees. It has Asian script and has a sign in English stating: ‘WARNING LIVE REPTILES’.
So let the name game began once again. What’s the name of this new-ish coaster? Python, Cobra, Anaconda. I’m not up on my Asian reptiles. The only one that comes to mind is Godzilla. Leave your guess below. Image courtesy of ScreamScape.

That's a good guess. Cedar Fair already has an 'Iron Dragon' at Cedar Point. They may just re-use that name again like they recently did with Diamondback.Thanks for stopping by.

I heard it was going to be called either King Cobra or Carolina Cobra.

The stickers that say things like TOP SECRET and DO NOT TOUCH do seem a little phony.
