Carwardine Parks/Memes

This is a list of memes spawned from Carwardine Parks.

Barney Error
Barney Error is a genre of meme that originated from the Carwardine Forums, and later spread to other websites.

Blue Bart's Revenge
This photo is of Kid's World's Bart costume. Kid's World has not upgraded to an orange-shirted Bart throughout its existence, and thus blue-shirted Bart is a common sight at Kid's World.

Bolligard and Mabiller
The meme stems from a mispronunciation by Chris Carwardine at the opening ceremony of Zymbezi at Rose Park.

Braney
This meme stems from a photo taken at Carwardine Colony where one of the Barney costume's eyes had gotten stuck, resulting in a slightly cross-eyed look.

The Carousel Parties Too Hard
At some point around mid-2020, Carwardine Colony’s Twitter account posted their version of the “Caramelldansen Lights” meme featuring their carousel and Ian Monteil‘s cover of Caramelldansen (with the sped up tempo). It’s caption was “It appears that our Carousel might’ve partied too hard… (Don’t worry, nobody’s dead; actually, none of these figures were ever alive!)”. Below this tweet, Carwardine Colony promoted the then-upcoming Volume 31 of The Carwardine Colony Carousel.

Chance v. Cassie
This meme refers to the similarities between Cassie Clown's 2017 redesign and the design of Universal Halloween Horror Nights icon Chance.

Cornthias
This photo refers to a costuming mistake that happened at Whalom Park where Matthias had Cornflower's head (without her headband/scarf), likely due to a last-minute rush to start the meet-and-greets.

DIPPIN' DOTS ROCK
This meme started off not long after the time Carwardine started playing Dippin' Dots' "Dippin' Dots Rock" commercial on their hotels' TV channel (as did it start appearing in queue tapes as an ad); somewhat of a Carwardine equivalent to Rickrolling, albeit it has spread outside of the Carwardine Parks community. Although the jingle annoyed many, the commercial and the meme it’s created resulted in helped raise sales for Dippin’ Dots at Carwardine Parks and other Carwardine Properties.

The Float of Miscellaneous Characters
This meme refers to a float used in the parades to accommodate the semi-current licenses (e.g. Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! and Mortal Kombat) and licenses that don't have space on the other floats.

GIMME MY TOASTER BACK!
This meme uses a gag photo taken by Carwardine Colony employees in 2005 where Buster from Arthur (played by Haley Armetta) steals Landon Franck's car, a Scion xB (which is often nicknamed a "toaster").

Lincoln Turns Into A Neckbeard
Lincoln Turns Into A Neckbeard refers to a video in which a guy performing as Lincoln Loud at Great Escape accidentally had the costume head fall off, revealing the Carnie's face, looking like a stereotypical neckbeard, the identity of the guy is currently unknown, although teams on Carwardine Forums and Discord are researching his identity.

Man Inside Angelica Pickles Costume/Angelica-Man/Mangelica
This meme is of an image at Carwardine's Great America of a staff member named Harvey-Lee Douglas inside an Angelica Pickles suit, with the suit's head in his hands, facing the camera with a smirk. After it got posted on the Carwardine Forums in 2007, the photo soon became used on templates mocking male internet users posing as females and he gained the nicknames "Angelica-Man" and "Mangelica", he officially retired from working at the park in 2021, as he was getting too old to be performing in the costume, at age 55, at his final day at the park, tons of men cosplaying as Angelica, imitating the iconic photo, stormed the park and surrounded him performing as Angelica. Afterwards, he thanked the cosplayers, saying "You've made my career here worth it."

Montgomery's a girl!
"Montgomery's a girl!" refers to a video in which a Carnie performing as Montgomery Moose at Omaha Luna Park accidentally had the costume head fall off, revealing that the Carnie playing Montgomery was a woman.

Not gonna lie but bush did 9/11
A reference to a post on the Carwardine Forums section "c/SpongeBob" in 2004 that had this has the title and the post itself. This is often memetic and a poster child of off-topic posting.

The Only One In The State of Georgia
A meme with Jan C. Gabriel's overly enthusiastic responses in the Zymbezi announcement about the "dive loop", "non-inverted coaster zero G roll" and "non-shuttle Cobra Roll". It is often used to mock overly superlative statements.

Phil Head, Lil Shirt
The photo refers to a costuming mistake that happened at Omaha Luna Park where the Rugrats twins costumes got "Frankensteined", as it's a costume that had Phil's head (note the lack of a bow) and the rest of the body being of Lil (note the skirt instead of pants and different color shoes).

Rainbow Brite carjacks Santa
The photo refers to a photo of the original Rainbow Brite at Carwardine Colony wearing her Christmas outfit while "stealing" Red Santa's sleigh. This was taken as a joke photo by Thomas Hogenkamp's nephew, with Carnie Jessica Soskina, who was in the Rainbow Brite costume in the photo, having helped come up with the idea.

ＲＡＩＮＢＯＷ，　ＨＥＬＰ
This photo is of an incident at Carwardine Colony wherein the new articulated Rainbow Brite head's eyes were slightly cross-eyed.

Sportaflex
This meme is of a video of Magnus Scheving, in-character as Sportacus, doing an aerobics routine during the 2005 Mississippi's Backyard opening event, with the audio overdubbed with "Zoolookologie" by Jean-Michel Jarre.

YOU ARE WINS CONGLATURATIONS!
A notable Engrish grammar issue in the original version of the Carwardine Parks arcade game "Super Mario & Friends Memory Match", the first revision changed it to "YOU WIN! CONGRATULATIONS!" while the second revision onwards has Mario's infamous line from Super Mario 64 "THANK YOU A-SO MUCH FOR A-PLAYIN' MY GAME!".
