Borg Assimilator?

Question

I recently went on the Carowinds website. I looked under the THRILL RDES section to see that the Borg Assimilator was not there. I then looked on the PARK MAP to see that it was not there anymore. Can someone tell me what happened to it.

Answer 1

It's still there in the park, in the same place. It's ball is gone though. And it has a new logo, it's now called "Nighthawk", see Cedar Fair bought all the Paramount parks and since the license to the Paramount names expired they were forced to rename them. Top Gun: The Jet Coaster is now know as Afterburn.

Answer 2

The license to base the ride's theme on Star Trek was obtained by Paramount Pictures, the previous owners of the park, but the right to use the name expired with the 2007 season. All Star Trek theming was removed for the 2008 season including the Borg sphere.

The actual ride is now called the Nighthawk.

Answer 3

it was renamed after Paramount sold the park.

Nighthawk (2008 to ?)

BORG Assimilator (2004 to 2007)

:o)
