Carowinds is a great way to spend your summer, with action-packed roller coasters, dozens of thrill and water adventures, and the overflowing fun of Boomerang Bay water park. (Boomerang Bay is open during the summer only. Free with park admission.) 

Speeding into Carowinds for our 2010 season is the Park's largest capital investment ever made in our 38 year history; Intimidator™ will debut on March 27 as the tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster in the Southeast. Inspired by racing legend Dale Earnhardt Sr., Intimidator™ is the Park's 13th roller coaster and will include a Winner's Circle, Victory Lane, and Wall of Fame Tribute to Dale Earnhardt. You won't want to miss this record breaking, history making scream machine when the green flag drops on opening day!

For 2010, the Park will welcome a new crew to town! Join us in welcoming Snoopy and the PEANUTS gang as Carowinds debuts its newly re-themed "out of this world" 12-acre children's area featuring America's most beloved beagle–Planet Snoopy.

Fun for families from exciting attractions to thrilling special events and shows, there's something for everyone. Gather friends and family in the Carolina Boardwalk area of the park which features games, merchandise and food locations reflecting some of the best known themes along the Carolina coast including lighthouses, boats, fishing and seafood.
