Mystery Construction
I don't know if this means anything or not but when searching for Patents, Trademarks, etc.... I found this.

Once you're there, search for Cedar Fair. It pulls a service mark that was registered for "Rebel Yell"
When searching the web, Wiki came up with this....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebel_yell
It seems to kind of go together with what they were talking about....
Hmmmm..... makes me wonder.
Hope this helps.
Rebel Yell is a racing roller coaster at Kings Dominion.
One odd thing...they keep saying that something is brewing for 2010. But the stuff commonly found in corked half-gallon glass jugs is typically not brewed, but distilled...

It looks to be a glass jug of some kind...
It is a growler, like you fill with beer to go at a microbrewery or brewpub. Most brewpubs have their own logo growler. The newest one in my collection is from Put in Bay Brewing Company. Maybe they will be seeing some competition from Whyte Lightning Brewing Company!
Please remain in your seat until the ride comes to a complete and final stop.

So it is gonna be a Hooters!;)
HA! Funny stuff....
On a more serious note, if the new Carowinds coaster is going to be called WHITE LIGHTNING and the new Cedar Point coaster (everything said and done, I'm still hopeful for a coaster) is going to be called WHYTE LIGHTNING, doesn't lightning strike twice in there? Just saying...

EDIT: Go to http://whitelightning.carowinds.com/, it now says "This site is UnderConstruction. Information Technology (Cedarfair L.P.)" There's also a guy cutting a flag out the a wall with a saw-zaw. Probably just means the site will be launching in a few hours.
If Whyte Lightning is going to be the name of CP's ride, then I would say that "lightning strikes twyce" is most likely the tagline. With that in mind, I think that the twice has absolutely nothing to do with a ride being put in at another park. It would have been pretty dumb if Mantis' tagline had some kind of reference to Wildthing at Valleyfair just because they both opened in the same year. I could be completely wrong, but I think the "Y" and "twyce" has meaning to this ride alone.

I guess we'll figure this out in about 35 minutes. Carowinds is making their announcement then. If it is called White Lightning, then maybe it has something to do with "lightning strikes twyce" (but remember, lightning never strikes twice in the same place). If its called Intimdator (which is more likely, due to the partnership with DEI), then we will be even more confused. :)
