We enjoyed our visit to Carowinds. They have great roller coasters and a neat little atmosphere. The only negative was that they did not run many coasters with multiple trains to speed lines along. Granted we were there on a weekday, but if they had run more than one train, the lines would have been very short. Be careful on... more

My family went to Carowinds for a few days. We took our six year old son and my elderly parents. My mom was able to get a motorized cart to ride on and my son had plenty to do. There are rides for all ages. An amusement park and a water park are connected. You can use one ticket for... more

I went in 2007 to The BYT(Big Youth Thing) and my youth group spent the day in separate groups around Carowinds, I got stuck in a group with a bunch of people afraid of all the rides I wanted to ride. So me and the friend I brought with me said were going to ride some of the rides we... more

I made the mistake of venturing to Carowinds on a Saturday in June. I have never seen such rude behavior, foul language, inappropriate comments to young ladies and lack of self respect for oneself in my life. This was coming from the employees! Now the 1000's of wanna be rappers and gang bangers running wide like a bunch of animals... more

We went with my husband's company On June 8. We took our 8 month old son. He was able to ride several of the rides in Nickelodeon Central, the skytower, and the Scooby Doo ride, plus many of the attractions at the water park. It was a scorcher so we invested in a Sovenier cup that you could refill for... more

I know that Cedar Fair purchased the Paramount parks this year and I was curious to see what if any differences there were. We went to Carowinds 3-4 years ago and returned last week to see... not much difference. Some of the rides are renamed and the water park has an Aussie theme, but it was pretty much the same.... more

Great park but expensive to get into and the crowds can make the lines to the rides long. Food is also expensive and the parking lot is easy to get lost in. more

I have had season passes for my entire family at Carowinds off and on for years-Never again. We have visited several times this year and each time was a little worse. Last time several rides were broken and after waiting in the theater for the ice show, it was announced the show would have to be cancelled due to technical... more
