What another beautiful day at the park today! The park was not as crowded as I had anticipated, although there was some 'festival of music' going on. Intimidator was running great and the wait times werent that bad! Had a great time and cant wait to go back in few weeks. Looksl ike i made it home just in time to, it started raining and hailing and it looks like Carowinds got wiped out as well! I hope if there was hail, nothing got damaged..

I thought that was the boardwalk, not Boomerang Bay.

I went through a puddle about a foot deep in front of Night Hawk leaving the park today. The skies emptied out pretty quick. There was about 3 times during the storm that golf ball sized hail started falling.

The park closed about at about 6, 2 hours before the scheduled closing time due to the current and forecasted conditions.

If that pic would have been about 30 minutes earlier you would have seen THE GANG hiding out in Pier 73..

stories to come later perhaps.

Amazing how dark the sky got between the 6:14pm pic and the 6:22pm pic.

Haha. I saw you guys at the entrace to the park at around 10am. Guess you were waiting on others like I was. And I think we saw you again in line for intimidator. I am just glad we left at the time we did (I think 4:30). At least they got the rides closed before the hail, could you imaging being on intimidator and a golf ball sized hail ball hit you... ouch...

^haha, that could do some severe damage! I rode once in pouring rain last year and my face was numb for almost an hour straight!

Try driving through it.

That was a scary experience. I have never seen hail that size before.
