WHAT'S NEW
Speeding into Carowinds for our 2010 season is the Park's largest capital investment ever made in our 38 year history; Intimidator™ will debut on March 27 as the tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster in the Southeast. Inspired by racing legend Dale Earnhardt Sr., Intimidator™ is the Park's 13th roller coaster and will include a Winner's Circle, Victory Lane, and Wall of Fame Tribute to Dale Earnhardt. You won't want to miss this record breaking, history making scream machine when the green flag drops on opening day!
For 2010, the Park will welcome a new crew to town! Join us in welcoming Snoopy and the PEANUTS gang as Carowinds debuts its newly re-themed "out of this world" 12-acre children's area featuring America's most beloved beagle--Planet Snoopy.

Not only are we introducing a new roller coaster and reinventing an old section, but we are celebrating a staple attraction's birthday! This year, Carolina Cyclone, the quadri-looping steel scream machine, will celebrate 30 years of flipping riders through two loops and a double corkscrew! When it opened in March of 1980, Carolina Cyclone was the first roller coaster in the world to take riders upside down four times, so to celebrate, we've given the attraction a new facelift, complete with three new colors—blue, red, and orange.
