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.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
