There's almost as much excitement surrounding the opening of Carowinds' first on-site hotel as there is for Copperhead Strike, the latest addition to our outstanding coaster lineup. Here's the latest update on construction and a peek at what the new hotel will look like.

A new coaster deserves a new way to celebrate and what could be better than a crisp, cold IPA? Carowinds and Sycamore Brewing have teamed together to create Copperhead Strike IPA, brewed just in time for opening day.

If you’ve never experienced a launch coaster before, you’re in for a real treat. This spring, Carowinds will open Copperhead Strike, which holds the honor of being the Carolinas’ first double launch coaster. If you’re unfamiliar with the term “double launch,” don’t worry, it’s not as intimidating as it sounds.

The food at Blue Ridge Country Kitchen will be so good it'll make you slap your knee and holler. I can guarantee this, because I've been fortunate enough to wander by the test kitchen while the recipes were being perfected and was an eager taste tester. Although great food is the key ingredient for a successful restaurant, recipe development is just one of the many things that go into creating one.
