Speaking as a hopefully-soon-to-be web developer, the design and animations on that website are really interesting. I wonder if it was developed by folks in NC (the website).

Great pictures. This one in particular makes Charlotte looks like BoomTown.

Talking about loosing fares.. I was there in Charlotte for 2 weeks by the end of September and we took the Blue line to downtown charlotte. Can't remember which station we got in, but we couldn't figure out how to get the tickets for our journey. The machine did everything, but it didn't send the payment information to the card machine. There wasn't a single member of staff in the platform, so our conclusion was that the ticket machine was broken (The 2nd machine was off). We tried until the train arrived. We had to take the train in fear of being caught and handed a penalty fee later in a different stop. Coming from London, it's really weird if you can get away without paying the fares. And also, I'm used to staff in the stations in case any problem arises, people can always get an answer or guide.

That logo would be better in the reception, not there. Looks silly.

I'm impressed by that, but good to know!!!

This reminds me to The Shard and the "News" building in London Bridge: Source Obviously, the one in London is not a Parking Deck.. I guess that one right next to DUKE building is for Parking, isn't it?

This thread:

CLT-London?? Around how much for the cheapest tickets on this flight? .. I booked for September, but going through NY first, as I always do.

Picture I saw on my instagram feed last week.

Yeah their coffee isn't great, but so is Starbuck's and similar high street chains. If you're looking for a good coffee, go to your local coffee shop. Anyway, they offer open spaces, toilets, free wifi and whatnot that can save anyone on a rush. Hopefully, they open more shops in Charlotte.

Pret... meh! They're everywhere here in London, but I wouldn't spend my money in there, unless you like to eat fridge-temperature sandwiches. Is this the only store they have in Charlotte?

I'm laughing at the fact you all found 2 out of thousand window panels being slightly different in this building. This forum is priceless.

First time I read: "Thanks and I will pick up doughnuts..." Had to reread this one

My dad would love it, but something more teenager-oriented will do the treat. I may end up getting them the tickets for the Baseball game. I forgot to mention she recently had an operation so she can't do any jump/run/scream activity for a few months.

Thanks for this. I've been living in London for about 4 years now and I still don't know 20% of the city. It's just too big. Thanks. This seems like a plan I can do when I go back to Charlotte in September.

Hey folks. My sister is turning 15 today and I'd like to giver her and my parents a nice day out in Charlotte, but google isn't helping me much. Since I don't live there I figured you could help me find an activity they can do maybe over the weekend. I've checked and there's two Knights game on Friday and Saturday, and prices aren't bad when I change to GBP(£). That's an option that sounds viable. I know about Carowinds, but they've been there and my dad isn't much of a rollercoaster guy. Any ideas?

Ok I give up now

Good point, you all. I missed the part that they did/are/will tear down a historic building. In that case that's a shame. But still hold the opinion that I like the project.

This is the kind of project that pops up in different parts of non-central London. I really like it and I believe it is a nice infill for Charlotte.

This forum is normally friendly. But some users are bringing a negative vibe. Luckily enough they're just a few and are predictable. This is the best forum I've ever read as there are plenty of debates and good arguments that makes you change your perspective, but then you come across comments like the one before me, ugh!

Cool project and fits well in SP.

Exactly. You just said it better than me. For the price of admission and the fun you get, it's worthy, but there's also room for improvement as we described. Will I be back? .. Yes, every time I happen to be in Charlotte and the park is open I'll be enjoying the coasters.

Thanks. Sadly I will forget as soon as we move on to the next page. I'm more a visual person.

Wow. I remember back in 2009, the pink building seemed so far away from uptown, and now it's wrapping up all together. Sorry, I don't know the name of the buildings/streets
