Carowinds is not a 'pay per ride' park. It has a single admission that is necessary to get into the park. Much the same way as most major amusement parks. You are free to ride as much as you want once you get it.
Favorite Carowinds Ride:Fury 325, Intimidator and Afterburn
Favorite Amusement Park:Knoebels Amusement Resort
Interests:I run three amusement park related Facebook pages including running the official page for RCDB. I also run a travel road trip page. I enjoy the simple things in life like working in my yard and spending time with family.
If you are a non rider, you can still get your moneys worth. They have a handful of live shows, Snoopy's Starlight Spectacular, and pools in the water park, all included with your admission!
