According to this article in the Charlotte Observer, Carowinds is planning a giga coaster, a coaster that stands at least 300 feet tall.

The new 300-foot-tall coaster will cost $30 million. These details were released in a closed-session transcript the Charlotte City Council released Wednesday.

This news comes after last month’s announcement that Cedar Fair would invest $50 million in the park.

We also now know more about what will come from that investment. The park will spend:
  • $2.5 million on a new water slide
  • $7 million on a new food complex
  • $4 million on ticket booth and parking lot improvements

Could Intimidator 305 receive a sibling coaster at the North Carolina/South Carolina state line? Or will this be a different type of coaster.
