This post is written in conjunction with my being a part of the Carowinds Inaugural Carobloggers program where I received 4 gold seasons passes to bring you posts about events, experiences and more! All opinions thoughts and ideas are honest and my own. your results may vary!
I absolutely am looking forward to the spring/summer months this year. I mean sure Fall is my favorite time of year but it doesn’t last very long and then bam winter seems like it lasts forever. Of course I am not a huge fan of the heat we get here in the south but… there are ways to keep that at bay! I love that the days are longer and that it is still light outside in the evenings when David gets off of work and it seems like there are just more things that you can do! Of course, one of my favorite things to do is go to Carowinds!
There are lots of awesome new things coming to Carowinds this season including Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare: 3Z Arena which I wrote about before- basically it is a interactive version of the popular game, and even though I don’t know much about it (I know , get with the times Nichole right?) I know David will like it, oh and I am all about anything indoors when we are there and it gets really hot and/or rains :)There is also a Starbucks coming, and new show called Cirque Imagine!
The biggest new attraction that is coming is Carowinds Carolina Harbor which is a total overhaul of boomerang bay water park! Now admittedly I tend to be a bit of a chicken when it comes to water rides and whatnot because I had a bad experience when I was a little girl with falling out of a raft and I can’t swim but some of the more tame things /things you can ride with someone I can really get on board with! I am not totally boring I promise!
Some of the new amenities that you can expect for Carolina harbor include a new water park entrance( making it easier to access and leave the waterpark) More Cabanas (I am telling you I really want to get one of these sometime another!)More lounging area (my kind of thing for sure!) and a new bathhouse ( I am one of these people who wear a bathing suit like under some soffee shorts and a tank top and then I dry out before I put them back over top but I know that this is handy in general!)
The expansion is not only revamping some of the old favorites but adding a whole slew of attractions- stick with me here because it is a LOT!
-blackbeard’s revenge
-seaside splashworks
-myrtle turtle beach
-kiddy hawk cove
-surf club harbor
-pirates landing
-hurricane falls
-tidal wave bay
-barracuda blasters
-Southern Sidewinder
-Sand dune lagoon
-coastal currents
-dorsal fin drop
-surfers swell
-storm surge
-pelican purge
you should def check out the Carowinds Carolina Harbor section of their site to find videos and more information about each of the attractions. I am actually looking forward to several of these- maybe this year I will be a little more adventerous.
Of course I am looking forward to some of my old favorites as well, and getting to do a few things we didn’t get to ride last year too! I know that I can’t wait to visit and get to see what kind of fun can be had this season at Carowinds!
