^ Hilton!!!!! Or something a little less pricey like Holiday Inn.

Surprisingly, the price of the hotel isn't determined by the chain. Its more so what the amenities they offer and perks. take Loews for an example. They operate 4 hotels (soon to be 5) at Universal Orlando Resort **I know, I know . . . I reference universal a lot lol. Its my home away from home park** and the price ranges from 90.00 - 300.00+ per night.

What hotel conglomerate would you all like to see build and manage a hotel/resort at Carowinds?

Think we could convince Dollywood to do a DreamMore, Part 2? LOL!

In all honesty, I'd like to see a Hilton, Courtyard by Marriott, or one of the Hotel Indigo's. With everything in the park being modernized, I'd like to see a hotel chain that won't become outdated quickly.

I was wondering if Dolly themselves built and operated DreamMore, guess they do!

Agreed. I like less pricey but I think "Holiday Inn" just doesn't resonate "Resort" to me.

You'd be surprised by what they have outside of what we normally see.

Now, I think a Peanuts theme hotel/resort would do well being it would be the first of its kind and would be a hit with families year round. I could see an indoor water park, a games area, spa like services for adults, family restaurant and even a nightly 30 minute peanuts show that changes up with the season(the great pumpkin, a charlie brown christmas). Fill it with lots of props from the franchise and photo ops and it is sure to become a destination spot in itself!

Put a water park in it when you're trying to promote one right outside at additional price? Maybe it would work if it's small.... not like Wolf.

Everyone going to carowinds isn't gonna be staying at the hotel and vice versa. You know, there is a Kalahari resort right outside the entrance of cedar point and guess what . . . they also have their own water park. People like options. Carolina Harbor is open 5 months, an indoor water park can be open 12. The resort's water park will be included for the resort guest, an added feature.

There is a Kalahari in Sandusky, but I think you might be thinking of Castaway Bay which is right before the causeway and is owned by Cedar Fair.

That's it! That's what I was thinking about. . .

I'm not sure how I feel about a full on Peanuts Resort, but I like the idea of having them in the hotel. My idea is a hotel that pays homage to the Plantation house at the entrance. Basically all of your ideas (spa arcade, restaurant, water park) with a Carolina theme. The part of the hotel I would theme to the Peanuts would be the indoor water park and possibly minigolf. I would have a dinner theater similar to Harmony Hall except with full service instead of counter service. For transportation to the park, I would have Trolleys like Dollywood that run every 20-30 minutes running from 9:30 AM to 10:30 PM (depending on the hours).

I like it. Although I would make one slight change. I would give people who stayed at the resort ERT and would start the trolleys at 9:00 or 9:15.
