Recommended Posts

Sort of.

The Park offers admission tickets for $24.99 each when four or more are purchased

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (July 3, 2009) – Carowinds, the 112-acre combination amusement and water park located on the border of the Carolinas near Charlotte, announced recently that they have introduced a new money-saving discount ticket program to assist families on a tight budget in their quest for a summer vacation that doesn't break the bank. From now until July 31, the Park is offering a discount of nearly $90.00 for families of four or more.

With rising gas prices, and summer peak prices, vacation planning can become quite the penny-pinching activity of the season. Carowinds, complete with over 50 rides, shows, and attractions, including Boomerang Bay™, the 20-acre water park, is determined to make their family-fun experience affordable this summer. Guests can go online to www.carowinds.com to purchase the 4-Pack for $99.99, where 4 or more tickets are only $24.99 each until July 31! By choosing the specific day to visit, excluding Saturdays and July 19, all made easy online, a complete vacation has become entirely inexpensive.

New for 2009, Carowinds debuted Carolina Cobra, the 125-foot tall towering twisting serpent that sends riders speeding into a cobra roll and 360-degree loop forwards…and then again backwards! With 12 thrilling roller coasters, a 20-acre water park, show, special events, and a 12-acre children's paradise, Carowinds is the perfect place to please every member of the family.

Carowinds is owned and operated by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, a publicly traded partnership that is listed for trading on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "FUN." In addition to Carowinds, Cedar Fair owns and operates ten other amusement parks, six water parks, one indoor water park resort, and five hotels. Cedar Fair also operates the Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park in Gilroy, CA under a management contract.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's twilight admission at Carowinds, for a limited time:

Special Twilight Admission offer through August 9 only at http://www.carowinds.com

Everyone Pays Kid's Price after 4pm when buying at http://www.carowinds.com ! From now through August 9, pay only $21.99 for a Twilight Admission (valid after 4pm) when you purchase your tickets online at http://www.carowinds.com . That's a $4.00 savings off the Front Gate price. But act now, this limited time offer expires August 9. And of course you can use that Twilight admission to check out our new Friday Night Dance Parties on Friday nights through August 7.

July 19? It's Fiesta Latina, and the park is ALWAYS packed. Not unlike Italian Day at Kennywood!

Sorry. So when they make that announcement, the discount will apply, at least until there is an announcement to the contrary.

Continuing on with the price-a-palooza:

SAVE BIG WITH ANY COCA-COLA PRODUCT

July 20 – Labor Day

Starting Monday, July 20 through Labor Day, you can save $13.00 on admission with any Coke-a-Cola product. That's right, just bring any Coca-a-Cola product to the Main Gate and save $13.00 off a full-price Regular admission.

At Carowinds, where else?*

*Spelling from a park promotional e-mail. Wouldn't you think they could continue to spell Coca-Cola after doing it right the first time? Or at least incorrectly spell it the same way twice? Sigh.

Note: ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION: The Carowinds Newsletter is published by Carowinds, 14523 Carowinds Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28273, who, I assume, is solely responsible for the spelling of sponsors' names contained therein.
