Carowinds: Thrill Capital of the Southeast!

 Carowinds is a 398-acre amusement park in Charlotte, NC that is located adjacent to Interstate 77 on the state border between North and South Carolina.  It boasts such outstanding features as:

Carolina Skytower - a tall cabin tower that gives a great view of the surrounding city;

Rip Roarin' Rapids - a white water rapids ride that is part of the on-site water park Boomerang Bay;

Nighthawk  - a Vekoma Flying Dutchman roller coaster;

Intimidator - a roller coaster that opened just two years ago and is the Southeast's longest, tallest and fastest roller coaster; and

New this year is Windseeker! This is a 301-foot-tall thrill ride that will be a huge attraction this year!

NEW! WindSeeker 

Carowinds just sent fun through the roof….again. Three hundred one feet to be exact. Our newest ride towers above the earth, tearing through clouds and anyone who claims they aren’t afraid of heights. Somewhere between the stratosphere and having a blast, you’ll realize this is no tall tale, it’s WindSeeker.

Carowinds gears up for what will be an incredible 2012 season filled with more fun and excitement than ever! With the addition of WindSeeker, additional Live Entertainment and more, this season is one you don't want to miss out on.
