Chris MaddoxMay 26, 2013Use code CAMETHDIST in all caps under promos on Carowinds website and get your admission for $29.95!
ᴡ TomesJanuary 1, 2010Money saving tip: pack some sammies and fruit and drinks in a cooler / leave the park to picnic at your car and then head back in (they stamp your hand when you leave).
Kyle CajaJuly 7, 2013Intimidator was a lot of fun, but a single-day pass is extremely overpriced considering how small the park is and how short most of the coasters are. 6/10.
Buy a season pass when they first become available and you'll save a ton all year!
Jason DMay 7, 2011If you're planning to go, check retailmenot.com for promo codes and buy tickets online. You can save upwards of $20.

Thunderroad seems to be forgotten about....the only rollercoaster where u can race...come on now...its awesome
Frank RiveraSeptember 23, 2012The scarowinds traffic is the equivalent to satan...I suggest being at the park before 7
Cody BellAugust 7, 2011The water park has so many rules that make it a little rediculous and unenjoyable.
Pass holder line has been insane. They require you to do it before entry now instead of before you leave that day which makes it very slow.
Hannah AskewJune 6, 2013Not a good place to go if you don't like rollercoasters like myself. Other than that, great park!
Caroline LeathJuly 12, 2011Go by the the summer twilight tickets noone is there and no waits for rides the longest we waited was 5 minutes
Keron CalameOctober 3, 2011Stay away from the Intimidator if you just ate, the After Burn is fun and so is the Vortex..
get in line for The Intimidator. Make sure you go to the bathroom before riding, otherwise you will need to change underpants
ChantelJuly 28, 2013Horrible customer service! the wind seeker was stuck for over an hr As a result all the rides in the park were shut down. Even after every1 was let off the park did not reopen. NO REFUNDS WERE GIVEN!
Joe OringelApril 24, 2011Season pass enrollment process is still messed up. Don't follow the signs. They're "working on training still"

"Load a small cooler with beer, gatoraid,& ice. Leave in car for the gridlock after park closes. Drink a few, slowly. You'll thank me someday."

"This is the best roller coaster at Carowinds. Always ride in the front or the back to get the best experience of the ride."
