I was looking on the Carowinds website to double-check on what their hours were for this weekend, and to see if they had any buyout weekends where they weren't open to the public - and noticed a few things about Scarowinds on there.

First, they're only open until 1am on Oct. 20th and 27th, not every night like they had on there previously. And I don't know if I wasn't paying attention before or if this is a change - but the first night of Scarowinds is on Sept. 27th - a Thursday, with no Scarowinds that Friday. The park is closed during the day on Saturday the 29th, but open for Scarowinds that night.

Woulda been nice if they were open til 1am every night, but honestly that's probably overkill for some of those slower nights. The good news is that Saturday looks like the only buyout day the park is closed - they're open the Sunday that weekend.

Just don't show up on the first week of Scarowinds on Friday like I usually do - they won't be open. Guess I'll check it out on that Thursday or the following Friday.

I noticed the hours also. Kind of a bummer for a Friday night but what cha going to do?

The group from work and I will be going either 10-5 or 10-12 . We won't be doing the Saturday visit. Fridays were the slowest night for me.

Wasn't there a better page with descriptions?

I was going to go on that Thursday until Van Halen decided to come to town

[bgwfreak]

Yeah i'll be at Van Halen as well.

[chargercrazy]

I hope for you guys' sake that VH doesn't start arguing among themselves and cancel the tour

[montumax]

Or Eddie goes back into rehab.

It's been 3 hours and I cannot find that 7th house...so I went over to halloween horror nights and found 2 more to make up for it!!

[montumax]

I thought the freakshow was this weekend.

[bgwfreak]

And you're the ring leader!

Have a nice assortment from the HHN (Orlando and Hollywood), Haloween Haunt (Knotts), and afew other parks that have good Haloween events. I am sure Wes is rolling his eyes after reading that.[/quote]

Huh? I'm confused (again).


So is anyone going to do the VIP ticket thingy?

[MarkD]

I have given it alot of thought. Altho I think it is quite expensive for what it is, I also haven't been to any parks this year, so I might just bite. Not sure tho...

[Edwardo]

I would venture a guess that before it is all said and done that Scarowinds will be dropped from the name after a year or two to just Halloween Haunt.

I doubt that. They still change the name to Knott's Scary Farm for Haunt.
