How to Have the Best Time at Carowinds Amusement Park

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Carowinds is modern, fun, and absolutely packed with roller coasters – possibly more than I’ve experienced in any other theme park, and we’ll definitely be back for more fun!

There are 56 rides at Carowinds (including the Water Park). This includes 14 roller coasters (kids and adults), two of which make the 10 tallest coasters in the world.

It’s an adrenaline fast-paced coaster that runs for over half a mile taking you through a series of fast, tight, close-to-the-ground maneuvers and five head-over-heels inversions.

Copperhead Strike

This is the ultimate fighter jet experience. Afterburn is Carowinds 3rd tallest and fastest roller coaster reaching up to 62mph with a first drop of 113 ft. As we traveled under the tracks with legs dangling, it was a pretty smooth ride.

Get ready for a fast paced, high intensity coaster replicating an aerial show. You’ll start with a slow backward climb 125 ft. vertically up before launching off to fly through a 360-degree loop and cobra rolls at speed up to 50mph.

The Flying Cobras

This hyper coaster is one of the tallest, fastest, and longest of its kind in the Southeast and one of the top 10 tallest steel roller coasters in North America. The ride was inspired by NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt, a North Carolina native.

The Intimidator

The Fury is an unmissable Carowinds roller coaster for all thrill seekers, the tallest, fastest, longest giga coaster in North America. It looked almost identical to the Intimidator to me with a few slight differences.
