I thought there was a topic on this but either I missed it using search or their is not one about it. I was wonder if you folks had heard of any ghost stories related to Carowinds. Reason I ask this is because it is a projec that I am working on and figured you guys would know if there is any related to the park.

Yes. E. Pat Hall can be seen on the second floor of north gate watching guests enter and exit the park. The Carousel will start itself with only one operator and will run itself at night. Smurf Island was haunted by a maintenance worker who loved the riverboat.

Strange Haunts of Carowinds

A family of white squirrels had been sighted roaming the park. Their red eyes make them appear to be pawns of Satan.

A ride under the name, Danny Phantom Flyers displayed safety panel readings sometimes detecting a presence standing at exit gate and would not allow ride to start. When investigated, no one was there that could be seen with the natural eye...

The Southern Star sometimes flips guest once, sometimes twice.

The Action Theater's seats move to the movie action.

There are strange goings on at Boo Blasters on Boo Hill. Reports of ghost, living skeletons, and other spooks are reported to have taken the building over. The $1 3D glasses make them even more apparent. At least there are guns on the ride for supernatural pest control.

Thousands of guests enter the park daily but a small percentage leave their brains at home:
They stand in line, watch a ride for several cycles, and when it's their turn to ride will ask, "Is this ride fast? Does it go very high?" They can also can plainly see it raining, lighting, and even hear the thunder but will still ask, "Why are all the rides shutting down?" I think this is worth investigating. Like the Travel Channel paid us a visit, maybe the Health Channel can come out and do an extensive study on walking coma-tic stress.

I'll never forget the conversation with one guest as he started it off. "Excuse me. Where can I find that Alligator?"

"Pardon me?"

"The Alligator, what did they do with it? Did they move it."

Alarmed I asked, "Someone saw an alligator in the park?"

"Yea. The ride, The Alligator."

"Oh. I'm sorry. I thought you were telling me there was an alligator in the park. We don't have a ride by that, sir."

"Yes you do. I rode it the last time I was here."

"No, sir, you must must be thinking of another park." He started getting frustrated with me at this point.

"I was just here last year when I rode it. They must have moved it."

"No, sir. We've never had a ride by that name. The only thing I can tell you is to look for it on your park map, look around the park, and if you don't believe me ask other associates about it."

He appeared to be angry as he walked away.
Later in the day he felt the need to come back and apologize. "Sorry about that earlier. I know where I was when I rode that ride. I was somewhere else."

He was difficultly somewhere else...

Now that I'm really thinking about it, is there a ride anywhere, in any park called "The Alligator?" What does it do? How does it run?

keep looking, he's out there...hiding... He just doesnt spit water anymore. At least the elephant (I didnt know elephants lived in austrailia) sprays water, and a lot of it. PhantomCat, you need to get LAZY in the waterpark to find that gator... :D

Next thing someone is going to post is they have a ghost of a Gator there. As I have said before thanks to the very few people that did post something related to the topic. While the other posts where an attempt at humor.
