Looks like CP Rundown posted the Periscope to their Facebook page. Tony talks about splashdown and tunnels starting at about 9:10. https://www.facebook.com/cprundown/videos/931610453598727/

It's interesting that he made it sound like Valravn's lighting package is going to be a surprise. I figured it would be like Gatekeeper's but maybe they do have something different lined up. Or perhaps they just haven't planned that far ahead yet.

I am sure it will be very special with fog and all just like Rougarou. Oh, wait...

When Tony said there's more 2016 stuff coming, it sure made me excited :)

Whoever came up with the name for this and Rougarou should be fired.

Someone should be put out of a job because you don't like the name?

Your name is bribrihate for a reason now isn't it. I remember you causing a big commotion somewhere else too.

Yepper, cause creativity sucks and we do not have enough stuff named Batman...

Should've named it "Batman: The OTHER Ride"...

2016 park map has just been released on the CP website! Ripcord remains as is. And the area where STR was is a good chunk of land. The park looks a lot different now.

I wish they'd put the more detailed map online like the other CF parks. If I were a new visitor, I wouldn't find this map to be useful since there are no labels on it.

You're right, I would find the park maps they have at the park to be the most useful. ;)

I've definitely noticed a new lack of theming with the new ownership... and I am not here complaining because I love the new ownership but if you look at rides like GK and Valravn, they certainly look pretty plain compared to say Maverick. Just my opinion though.

I know the whole Valravn project isn't completed yet but I do hope there is a bit more than just a coaster on a plot of grass like the designs entail.

From an architectural standpoint, Valravn is shaping up to be my favorite in the park. I love the designs they went with for the station roof and gift/photo building (check out the photos in the link below). From a theme standpoint, there's not a whole lot you could do with Valravn aside from influences based on the lore......or rather the time period and location the lore is from. I think, from what I've seen so far, it's looking just fine. But that's just my opinion since I could care less about tunnels and splash downs. This thing wouldn't be any less of a spectacle with either of those things.

Thanks for the link! I've been dying to see what the souvenir/photo building and station would look like

Agreed, which is what parks like Carowinds post on their website. I'm somebody who likes to plan my trips out, so I like to know where the rides are before I go.

That stone really looks sharp. Though the ride itself may not have theming, it definitely looks like the surroundings and station is going to be nicely themed.
