  • My Daughter took me to Carowinds for Fathers Day, and wow did it bring back some memories! The last time I was at Carowinds she was 9 months old, and now, she's 23! Lets go back in history for a moment. When Carowinds opened in 1973, It was owned and operated by Duke Power, which is now Duke Energy. All employees and family members got in for free. My Dad, being a Duke employee, I used to get into Carowinds for free. Thats right, free! I think parking was only $3.00 As Duke Power sold off it's share of the park, employees and family still got in for a greatly reduced rate. My wife and I spent many a Saturday date night here! Fast forward to today. Now tickets are $45 online, $55 at the gate plus tax and $12 for parking! My daughter got a seasons pass in early May when they offered them at a discount, which includes unlimited entrance to the park , free parking and days where you can bring friends and they pay only $20 for a ticket, which is the best deal if you go there often. They also offer many other pass and ticket options, which adds to the price, up to almost $180! Ok, back to Father's Day- The park was crowded, but not what we expected. With partly cloudy skies, it was'nt to hot, and the water rides helped with that. Lines for rides were not bad. Most people seemed to have brought their manners with them as well. My Daughter got me on the new Windseeker and one extreme coaster plus many other rides. The 3D Sponge Bob motion ride was cool too, but I enjoyed the water rides the best. Food and drinks inside the park are uber expensive, so do what we and a lot of others did, pack a picnic, have you hand stamped and go to your car and tailgate. Just remember you can only have one re-admission during the day. The park had really changed from my last visit-There was those carinval style games every where tryring to get even deeper into your wallet. Even after paying the high ticket and parking prices there is so much that cost extra you could easily drop another $100 or more inside the park depending on your family size. Over all, I had a great day with my Daughter, and if she invited me to go with her again, I would, but would my wife and I spend a $130 for two tickets, tax and parking to visit Carowinds?? Nope, we would take that money and head to the beach instead.
