Scarowinds back in 2017 was awesome! Proof of this fact: that was my THIRD time coming!

Many complain that the scary components have been dulled down a bit for family-friendly purposes, but honestly, it all depends on who you go with. Luckily for me, I went with an eclectic group - ranging from teenage all the way to late 20's - and we had a blast! We enjoyed the Murder Inn in particular, and the girls in our group made screaming a 100% guarantee.

We capped off our experience with riding the Intimidator, and then quickly squeezing in back-to-back haunted houses as the park was closing. It was an excellent time, and was followed by a good ole-fashioned Cookout run.

Will be back next time I'm in town, for sure.
