On Monday me, mommybee, and babybee went to Carowinds. We had a lovely time. I started out on Nighthawk. It was just the same as always. Then, we headed off to Cobra. The line was walk-on. It was way better than Saturator. Then, we headed over to Drop Zone. It was the same. Then, we went to Vortex. The paint job looks better than the last time I saw it.

We headed over to Planet Snoopy with babybee. She rode the swings 3 timese, r rode the carousel, then she rode Lucys Crabbie cabbie and she loved it. I also rode the boats with her and I think next time I will let mommybee get in the boats because her tooshie is smaller. We headed over to flyers. babybee rode with mommybee and I rode by myself. It was awesome as usual.

We went to southern star,and it was shocking more fun than I remembered. I went over to Thunder Road and mommybee and babybee were going to ride spongebob 3d but it didn't open till 2. We headed over to wings for lunch. I had a piece of pizza and fries with chocolate pudding. Mommybee and babybee split chicken tenders, fries, and a cookie. The suvoner cup was a abit expinsive but was worth it because it had Thunder Road on it.

We headed over to Goldrusher and babybee was a bit upset because she,was too short. I rode and it was fun. Then I rode Cyclone. I was abit of a bobblehead but it was fun. Then I rode Hurler. It was good. We headed over to intimedator. It was,worth the wait. Mommybee and babybee headed over to sky tower while I was on Intimidator. We headed over for round 2 in planet snoopy. Babybee rode the swings a few more times, I rode Dutchman, I rode fairly odd coaster and babybee rode the jets. Then we,rode Boo blasters. It was very nice. Babybee enjoyed it and got 300 points. We headed over to SpongeBob. It was just SpongeBob. The girls enjoyed it though. Babybee was yelling tell plankton to "drop that pickle this minute" and "so SpongeBob you can do it". then we headed over to top gun and it was the,same. I rode Reptar. It,was ok. At this point babybee ate too many krabby parties and was getting fussy. It was about 5:30. I ran ahead to the car and started the ac for the girls while they visited the ladies room. And on the way home, babybee fell asleep

The food seemed to have improved in taste, however there has been a loss of shade throughout the whole park. I like how bright the colors are in most the park, and the employees seem equally bright about how they done theory jobs. Most coasters were either 1 cycle wait or 4 cycle wait. Intimidator has the longest line all day. The park was clean, looked well maintained. I was surprised to the "da rules" book at the top of OddCoaster, and would be nice to get a couple more shows. The pavers help keep the park cooler. Overall, I enjoyed Carowinds and was surprised when it was time to go before I had got to do everything I wanted to.

Im surprised Intimidator had a long line. On a Monday that is usually a 5 minute wait. How long did you have to wait exactly?

5 cycles running two trains or around 20 minutes, the line was almost to the sign.

Not to my knowledge, Thunder Road and Afterburn were 0-1 cycle wait. Vortex was about three which is normal to my memory. Hurler, Cyclone and OddCoaster were around 4 but were running 1 train. Reptar was 2-3 at 5pm. Most rides seemed normal for a weekday from my memory. I can't wait for my next trip to Carowinds.
