| - A day at Carowinds makes for a good time. Carowinds may not be one of the most well known amusement parks, but it is certainly one of the better ones (especially within the Southeast). Since Cedar Fair acquired Carowinds, the park continuously gets updated and improved! Most recently, they built 2 GREAT coasters - The Intimidator and Fury 325. These 2 coasters are some of the best I have ever been on and I've visited most of the top 10 parks in the country! Carowinds does have a show that plays several times a day, but honestly, the only reason we go see it is to get a break from the heat. There is a great children's area, with Snoopy/Charlie Brown being the theme that consists of character meet & greets, dining, shopping, and rides. For NO EXTRA COST, you can visit Boomerang Bay, a fun water park, which they recently announced will be expanding. Improvements all around.
Except for certain sections, the park is smoke free (YAY!) and now they're beginning to sell alcohol, within certain areas. Food options have increased and improved with fresher foods and a wider variety of choices. (Expect to pay tourist prices everywhere within the park.) Parking is not free, but I don't know how much it costs because it's free with an annual membership, which I have. Looking for something fun to do in Charlotte? Go enjoy Carowinds!
