One of the most exciting days for Carowinds is August 16 - National Roller Coaster Day. It's a day filled with guests taking selfies in front of their favorite coasters, fans across the nation debating which ride takes the top spot, and all of us enjoying the rides that we love.

For just one day this week, Carowinds won’t be the sole place “Where the Carolinas Come Together.” As the 2019-2020 college football season kicks off over Labor Day weekend, the University of North Carolina Tar Heels will take on the University of South Carolina Gamecocks in the Belk College Kickoff Game, just up the road at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.

It’s August, which means the summer theme park season is winding down. Fortunately, that means that Halloween is right around the corner, and with Halloween comes SCarowinds.

I have been a fan of Carowinds for as long as I can remember. There really has not been a time when this special place wasn’t in my life. Early on, however, I had one small problem…I was terrified of roller coasters.
