‘Frenzoid*
Carowinds Adds New Ride
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Carowinds offi
cials have announced the addition of a
$1 million new ride for the theme park’s
1966 season.
The new attraction, to be called the
"FRENZOID," is a giant Viking ship
which swings forward, backward, sus
pends riders 60 feet upside-down In the
air and then complete a, breathtaking
series of complete loops.'
Caowlnds Vice President and Gen
eral Manager VtokI Sutton explains that
the‘‘FRENZOID’ experience will be un
like any other. “Because the ship’s
swing depends on the weight of the
passengers, the ‘FRENZOID* will pro
vide riders with a different ride each
time," Sutton says.
“This new ride will give riders and
spectators a unique thrill and we’re ex
cited to be adding this attraction at
Carowinds,” Sutton added.
Tlie “FRENZOID’ consists of four
steel uprights supports by a main axle.
Attached to the axle is a swinging arm
to which the Viking ship and a counter
weight are attached. The “FREf4Z0ID'
will provide SO passengers, seated In 10
rows, a two-and-a-half minute ride.
Each seat vtrill be equipped with padded
safety bars and padded shoulder har
nesses.
Because energy for the ship’s next
ride will be regenerated during the
ship’s deceleration, the ride will be
energy efficient.
A ride on the “FRENZOID’ will begin
with a smooth, powerful rocking mo
tion that Increases In speed as the 55
foot long ship climbs higher In the arc it
Is traveling in. As it reaches the top of
the arc, the shlpwlll come to an upside-
down virtual stop, suspending riders 60
f^ above the ground. Hanging their
briefly, riders will be In suspense, not
knowing whether the ship will go for-
vterd and complete the first loop, or
backward to try from the other side.
Spectators on the ground below will
be In suspense as well and some will
cheer the free-swinging ship as It falls
from the top of the loop at speeds of up
to 33 miles per hour.
When the ship swings through the
loop, riders will experience a brief sen
sation of free-filght.
TTie “FRENZOID,” manufactured by
Intamln In Zurich, Switzerland, Is cur
rently being constmcted by the County
Fair section of the 77-acre theme park.
The new ride will be complete when
Carowinds opens for its 1966 season on
March 15, 1966.
Carowinds Is currently open Satur
days and Sundays through Oct. 6 and is
located 10 miles south of Charlotte,
N.C. and 12 miles north of Rock Hill,
S.C. off 1-77 (exit 74).
NC Museum of Art
The North Carolina Museum of Art
will operate under new opening hours,
effective Tuesday, Oct. 1. Under the
new schedule the museum will be
closed on Tuesdays as well as Mon
days, will remain open on Friday
evenings until 9 and will open one hour
earlier, at noon, on Sundays.

ITie revied schedule was announced
following the regular quarterly meeting
of the museum’s board of trustees. The
revisions became necessary when the
North Carolina General Assembly cut
10 percent, or $234,996, from the mu
seum’s proposed $2.3 million budget In
June. The legislators stipulated that the
museum cut 12 staff positions, in
cluding six security positions.
Musicians Needed
Musicians are needed. If you are In
terested in working with “Tales of the
Jazz Age" or “T^lng of the Shrew,”
but dancing and acting just are not your
bag, and you can play a musical instru
ment, you are welcomed to audition.
Dr. Creagh expresses a special need
for jazz musicians for February’s “Tales
of the Jazz Age.” If you have any ques
tions, contact Dr. Creagh in Viteln-
wright.
