Question for you park experts out there...I am going to the park soon with my 9 year old but without my wife so it will be just the two of us. He isn't tall enough to ride Fury yet. I know they won't let him wait in line with me and cross over the train in the station to wait until I get back around but is there a way for me to ride without him having to wait outside the queue with the general public?

Let him go into the Fury gift shop and he can wait at the exit on the other side of the gift shop entrance.

I think they did let me do that one time but I don’t quote me.

Exposure to 15 million people is fine. Its him in general he is not a person to take light heartily. He is very immature and a lot of his videos show that. His last video of the suicide forest ruined him. He might be trying to change but the damage is done.

Yep. unfortunately it is. Back when my daughter was younger, my wife and I had to wait in lines twice to ride things we both wanted to ride. Gone are the days that the kid just stepped through and waited on the parents to come around from behind the exit gate. (I remember doing that COUNTLESS times with my dad). Nowadays, you gotta be REAL careful. Parks don't want to take on the responsibility of a kid going missing.

That's actually how I rode my first looping coaster. I was stepping through and my dad pulled me down into the seat and pulled down the harness. I was big enough by then but was still a little timid about loop coasters. That was on the "WABASH CANNONBALL". I was scared to death. But... I've never looked back. I got off and immediately said "Let's go again".

Yep this is why I was asking. No crossing over the train after waiting in line. Tried it last year and was told no. I wonder if I went through the gift shop and up the steps and had him wait there at the top if they would let him stay there or make him move?

It was his (equally stupid) brother Logan Paul that filmed in the suicide forest in Japan.

Boy I hate seeing all of the tent sites being removed. Now that I sold my camper I will no longer be able to camp here which also prevents me from buying a season pass. Therefore no trips to Carowinds anymore.

Sad day for my family, and no a cabin is not an option due to my pet that has to travel with me due to his medical needs.

So this is indeed a goodbye for my family.
