Carowinds Amusement Park

Welcome to Carowinds, a place where the border between North and South Carolina becomes a backdrop for one of the Southeast's most vibrant and dynamic amusement parks. This 105-acre adventure zone is more than a theme park—it’s a pulse of pure excitement, filled with towering coasters, family-friendly fun, and seasonal magic that keeps guests returning year after year.

1. Fury, Speed, and Screams

Thrill-seekers gravitate to Carowinds for its world-famous coasters. At the heart of it all is Fury 325, the tallest and fastest giga coaster on the planet. Standing at 325 feet, it sends riders racing along a track at blistering speeds with sharp drops and sweeping turns that command both awe and adrenaline. Nearby, coasters like Copperhead Strike and Afterburn round out a collection that coaster enthusiasts consider among the best in the country. With 13 world-class roller coasters on-site, the lineup never runs short on velocity or spectacle.

But Carowinds isn't just built for daredevils. Families find plenty to love in attractions like Camp Snoopy, a whimsical 12-acre playground themed around the beloved Peanuts gang. It’s packed with kid-friendly rides, interactive zones, and charming character moments. For summer 2025, Camp Snoopy is expanding with two new major rides and a fresh AR experience called the Bird Watchers Club, adding new layers of fun for young visitors and their families.
