Carowinds is a must‑visit destination for a full day (or more) of fun, offering more than 60 rides and live shows that layer memorable experiences for every pace and every member of the crew.
Families naturally gravitate to CAMP SNOOPY®, where SNOOPY® and the PEANUTS® Gang bring a summer‑camp vibe to life. The area’s marquee additions—SNOOPY’S® Racing Railway and CHARLIE BROWN’S® River Raft Blast—deliver ride‑together energy parents and kids love: a zippy, family launch coaster and a drenching boat adventure that invites friendly water‑blaster fun between riders and onlookers.
Across the park, Aeronautica Landing adds an aviation‑forward layer of play. Bank and roll like an ace on Air Racers, bump and glide through Hover and Dodge’s futuristic training ground, or mix in more motion with Gear Spin and the family‑friendly Gyro Force; then recharge at Terminal A, the aviation‑themed restaurant and bar with a comfortable patio.
The thrill lineup is anchored by Fury 325®, recognized for record‑setting scale as North America’s tallest, fastest, longest giga coaster. Copperhead Strike® ups the ante as the Carolinas’ first double‑launch coaster, accelerating from 0 to 42 mph in 2.5 seconds and weaving through five inversions, while Thunder Striker stacks seven drops and speeds up to 80 mph for classic hyper‑coaster airtime.
When the day heats up, head to Carolina Harbor, the waterpark that pairs wave pools and signature slides with kid‑friendly play zones and upgraded comforts—and it’s included with every park ticket and Season Pass (operating dates vary; see calendar). For a refined retreat, unwind at the Carolina Harbor Shore Club, an adults‑only space featuring a swim‑up pool bar—a relaxing way to savor the waterpark between rides and shows.
