Carowinds is a wonderful park. It's my 3rd favorite that I've ever been to, right under Kings Island and Kennywood.

Carowinds is a really good park! Went their for the first time in May of 2012.

I suspect a lot more people here have now been to Carowinds.

I also suspect you aren't going to see Living Social deals there this season!

Carowinds ia a fantastic park. It's becoming the Cedar Point park of the south. They're dropping a ton of money in the park there, and it's showing.

 

Record numbers, new record breaking rides, and general park improvements all in a few short years. Big things will happen down there. 

Cedar Point lost Mr. Kinzel.

Carowinds lost Mr. Kinzel.

Yes, I do believe, you are right.

All totally acceptable things too. Carowinds has every right to shine, and I think could even surpass the giants in the chain already. It can be a destination park. Fury drew others including myself there just for a new coaster. I'm sure that trend will continue for that park going into the future.
