With the entrance change and redesigned parking lot, I wonder if they will keep the back entrance by Top Gun.

And in all this, they really should make a separate entrance to the water park so you don't have to schlep all your stuff through Carowinds.

Went to Cedar Park a few years ago, doubt I'll ever go back to Carowinds unless it's free.

 

now that cedar fair owns carowinds, they are starting to step up their game and spend money on some good coasters (intimidator, carolina cobra, and fury 325).

I feel like I'm missing something... I haven't been in over a decade, but that doesn't look any different to me than it used to?

 

EDIT:  is there more than one picture?  work may be blocking something...

 

EDIT2:  never mind, looked on my phone... see the second pic

The entrance and parking lot needed a face lift so badly. It hadn't changed since they had smurf island there.

Im impressed with the amount of coasters they continue to add. I went last year for the first time since around 2004 and was very surprised. My only gripe about carowinds is if you want to do a day pass it costs $60. You bring a kids and another one for a day its around $200 for three of you.

The back entrance that was mentioned earlier by top gun hasn't been open in some time now. They blocked it off last time I was there.

When I was a teen I'd buy a ticket then exit the park and get my hand stamped with my friends hiding behind the corner. Before the stamp dried I was able to stamp a couple friends' hands. Then we walked to the other entrance and went right in. I did that for like 3 summers in a row and it never failed.

They probably have bracelets now or something more secure.

This thread got me reminiscing about the good ol' days at Carowinds as a kid. I found this site with a bunch of facts/pics about the park and rides in the 70's-80's when my family frequented the park: http://carowindsearlyyears.com/enterearlyyears.html. I went to Scarowinds once about 10 years ago, but haven't been to the regular park in about 20.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
