Carowinds is a fun stop but I wouldn't reccomend it unless you have a cedar fair season pass.... Being from Ohio, the park has a really similar vibe to Cedar Point. It is a pretty small park compared to CP and the only ride that really stood out to me as a good ride was Fury. My boyfriend really liked Nighthawk but personally I think it's a little rough. Also, food and drinks are SOOO expensive. Definitely eat before you go or pack a lunch that you can eat quickly in your car. Also, bring LOTS of water. A small powerade that you could get at a gas station for less than $1 was $5. Definitely not good for the pocket when you have to buy about 10 of them just to keep your family from passing out in the South Carolina heat. Luckily, we have a drink pass with our season pass but most of the coke stands were closed. The other think that is nice is some of their lines have those fans with water and some even have a water fountain. The other thing that is kind of frustrating is that they will shut pretty much the entire park down at the slightest hint of a storm, so go on a nice day. Overall, Carowinds is a solid 8/10.
