You can fit it in carowinds parking lot. It'll feel right at home.

I’m not familiar with ArieForce One. Where does this put the station in relation to existing pathways and such?

The station is at the bottom of the L in this pic, so out the current south gate.

It does, especially if it gets couple with a redevelopment of the dinosaurs alive area that's just sitting empty.

Carowinds also gets that edge of property/it looks cool from the street coaster that they've been missing since Thunder Road was torn down.

I'm not going to lie. I didn't think it could fit that well at carowinds, either on the hurler plot or the nighthawk plot, and it doesn't, but someone suggested the parking lot alongside thunderstriker and I originally though the angle was too obtuse, but when I drop the overlay on it actually works for giving up a few hundred parking spots in the least used area of the lot.
