coastergirl Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 We arrived at Carowinds around 2:00 this afternoon and went directly to Guest Relations to have them process our tickets since we have a PKI season pass. Much to my surprise it was not a hassle at all. I was imagining that it would be a big production but they were very nice and processed them right away. The weather was very overcast and rainy at times so the crowds were not bad at all. We parked at the south gate so Top Gun was our first stop. It was pretty much a walk on ride. I think we only waited about 4 trains before it was our turn. It was an awesome ride!! All four of us loved the ride. Next we made our way over to Borg and had about a 45 minute wait. It was an okay ride. I was the only one that really didn’t care too much for it. I got off of it very motion sick which didn’t help for the rest of our visit. The other 3 people in our group really enjoyed it a lot. Next we did Hurler and then a stop at School of Rock. I think it was the best show I have seen to date. All of the performers did an excellent job. After that we rode Vortex. It reminded me of riding King Cobra way back when, and not in a good way. King Cobra was a good ride but really painful to ride sometimes!! After that we did some souvenir shopping. I bought a sweatshirt that was originally 34.99 for 10.00!! That was my deal of the day. By this time we are all getting tired so we had to go take a look at our old Flyers. They looked pretty good but they had such a long line we decided to pass it up. We rode Thunder Road and one more trip on Top Gun and headed back to the hotel. I wish that we had more time in the park but we have been up since 3:45 this morning and have to get up early to finish our drive tomorrow to Charleston. I am really glad that we went and thank you to everyone who gave me pointers for rides to ride and where to park. It was a great help.

pkidude03 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Carowinds is a great park. It has really improved a lot in the last few years. I live about 4hrs away from it & go whenever I get a chance. Top Gun is the best ride there! I really wish they wouldn't close so early.
