Charlotte, N.C. (May 24, 2022)—On Friday, May 27, the Carowinds’ premier water park will reopen after its seasonal closure with a splash, allowing for guests to celebrate the culture of the Carolina coast and enjoying more than 28 attractions for families and thrill seekers, as well as resort-style amenities with the luxury of a reserved cabana, and Carolina cuisine.
There is something for everyone in the Carolina Harbor Waterpark’s 26 acres of fun. From the Boogie Board Racer, the longest mat-racing water slide in the southeast with its high-speeds and high-thrill 360-degree loop experience, to a relaxing float down the 1,000-foot long Coastal Currents lazy river that meanders through North Carolina and South Carolina, and two wave pools, Tidal Wave Bay and Surf Club Harbor, Carolina Harbor is a water park experience for guests of all ages.
