The park's motto is "Where the Carolina's come together," and Carowinds has been a huge draw for locals in both states since it opened in 1973.

Each weekend during the summer and fall, the park is packed with families and individuals looking for a great time on some amazing rides.

This coaster is not for the faint of heart! It stands 115 feet tall and reaching speeds of 51 miles per hour.

An open-air coaster, riders will experience peak heights of 325 feet and drops as high as 81 degrees.

If you are riding the Fury at night, you'll notice the tracks light up with a neon glow that creates a mind bending experience as you whiz through the night sky on the fastest ride of your life.

In the summers Carowinds' unique water park is packed with visitors enjoying water slides, wave pools, and splash rides.

The water park at Carowinds is definitely a great attraction and something you and your family should check out next summer.

As the official mascots of Carowinds, Snoopy, Charlie, and Lucy are often seen walking through the park ready to take pictures with adoring fans.

These chili cheese fries may not be healthy, but they are delicious and the perfect snack after working up an appetite on all the rides.

A famous dessert, this is a must-try at Carowinds. We promise you will love this sweet, melty mess.

Scarowinds tickets are as low as $36 and allow admission into the park after dark to experience the thrills of your favorite rides combined with new terrifying attractions like haunted houses, haunted mazes, and more.

Walk through this creepy Blood Yard if you dare.

Popping out from behind corners or grabbing you from behind, these spooky demons will most definitely give you a fright this Halloween.

If you think dropping 80 feet during the day is a breeze, try it at night in the darkness - you'll barely be able to hold on!
