It's simple math Carowinds. 11 comes after 10.



The "X" I believe is meant to mean 2010, not 10th year.


from the caro-blog

"Hey there thrill seekers,

I hope you are all having a great summer! Can you believe it’s almost over? Soon we’ll be trading in our swimsuits for sinister costumes. Are you coming to the 2010 Halloween Haunt? This year marks the tenth anniversary of SCarowinds, and it’s promising to be scarier and more malevolent than ever! "


That was just a simple case of bad math. This is the 11th year. The first year held was 2000. I guess it could be mistaken to mean that 2010-2000=10, that is so normally; but not in this case.

1st year: 2000
2nd year: 2001
3rd year: 2002
4th year: 2003
5th year: 2004
6th year: 2005
7th year: 2006
8th year: 2007
9th year: 2008
10th year: 2009
11th year: 2010

I can undrestand how they think 10th year but as said it's the 11th running and now the park just looks dumb for celebrating the 10th Scarowinds 2 years in a row. Last year all the banners, park maps & every other form of advertisment promoted 10 season of scream.

Sorry Carowinds. Major FAIL lol.
#42146
Well last year the maps said it was "The 10th season of screams" so it was the 10 time doing the event, and this year will make Scarowinds 10 years old. Thats the way I believe it is.

Last year was the 10th time that Scarowinds was held

and

This year is the 10th Anniversary of the 1st Scarowinds

Thank you, Derek I'm glad more than one person understands.

I take back what I said. It is a counting FAIL on their part. They ARE marketing it as the 10th time. From the Scarowinds.com "Obituary":
It may suprise some of you to know that our core creative team began planning for Haunt 2010 (Our 10th Year Of Fear!) before last years event even ended!
