Love seeing you give Carowinds some love. That's my home park and I was a costumed character there for 6 years. Very underrated park with some great coasters.

By the way, I went to Carowinds today I went on Saturday

I like how you go to different theme parks all over the place!!

I shared this with my kids: when they were little, we lived there in Charlotte and would go there for Mother's Day....NOTHING looks the same! Ah...memories!

So glad you enjoyed coming to the Carolina’s! Thank you for taking the time out to come to the smaller theme parks

Carowinds isn’t really a small park but it’s definitely not considered a must-see in America although it should be. It’s had many staples in history, one of which being the Carolina cyclone; the first 4-inversion roller coaster.

Really like the KZread so much fun scream it out I am a great time together you and Sam are having a wonderful 👍👍 two thumbs up how many more KZread video this is Jenna Dabao had fun

Glad you guys enjoy Carowinds!! It's my homework and I'm a former ride supervisor as well for 7yrs during the paramount days. As Far as logistics with rides, it's basically state specific. So if a rides station is in NC then that ride must take on NC laws and commissioning. The same goes for any ride stations in SC. As for the Fury hornet, It's just a loose theme around the Charlotte Hornets NBA team. Same go with Intimidator tied to of course NASCAR and Dale Earnhardt, a big deal in Charlotte. Fun Facts: Goldrusher is original to the park. The gum wall is a tradition lol. Use to be one in the queue tunnel of Hurler too. Copperhead Strike has not thing to do with a snake. It's a play on words type of deal. The theme and story line is that grandma is an award winning jam maker for the fair. You (riders) are snooping around to see what her secret and realize she makes and uses moonshine. So the name Copperhead is actually coming from the copper top or head of the machine used to make moonshine, hence why on the ride sign the snake is made out of copper piping if you noticed lol.

This is the first time I see a theme park that is located in two states at once! It is very unique!

I just adore this series so much. I still can't believe your timing on it, and it's so much fun for me to watch all these videos of places I'll soon live close enough to road trip myself. So happy you and Sam have gotten this opportunity and thank you for the unique way you cover these places!!!

I love how Jackie looks at the bungee ride and says "that doesn't look too bad!" and I'm like "could never be me." Love your videos as always!

😂 right?!!

Thank you immensly for saving tens of thousands of people from vortex and its pain.(Especially for short guys)

I’m from Florida. The way I got to go to Carowinds was through a band competition! It’s so cool to see they are still doing this 25 years laters!! #bandgeeksunite

9:50 the carousel used to be in Evansville Indiana next to the Mesker park zoo. The carousel was privately owned and sold to the Carolwinds in the early 1980s. Thank you for showing the carousel.

Vortex is actually crazy smooth this season. My wife finally gave in and agreed to ride it again and even she liked it. We rode it twice.

I grew up in North Carolina and had season passes to Carowinds almost every year. Love seeing it again since it's been a hot minute. We always bounced between states, too. It probably drove the parents nuts after the umpteenth time, lol

Fury 325 may in fact be one of the greatest coasters ever created. It's definitely in my top 5.

I like watching these types of videos to kind of get a preview for them or just watch them for fun😊

Thank you for visiting South Carolina 😊

Good to have a healthy option - and LOTS of it

it really makes me smile watching this. brings back so many great memories. i can't wait til i have children one day. haha they will love carowinds! great video!

The "J.R. Helms Mining Co" sign on Goldrusher is a tribute to a long time employee Jerry Helms. He started as a seasonal employee during the first season in 1973 and retired last year as a vice president of operations. Carowinds does get ride and restaurant inspections from both states. When I worked there, we had some different alcohol laws that had to be followed depending on what restaurant you were working. Also security guards have the certification to arrest someone in one state, I think SC, but not the other. Also if they have an emergency, many times, fire departments from both states respond.

Word of advice for those that haven't been, purchase things on the south Carolina side. Less tax.

Every Cedar Fair park you go to… you get a little closer to Cedar Point. That’s going to be my favorite video of all. ☺️☺️☺️ I can’t wait to see how y’all feel about that park.

Haha yes we are inching our way there! Kinda waiting for the parks to fully open for the season bc right now they’re mostly only open weekends and it makes it hard to plan a multi day trip. But SOON!

Loved White Lightning, the Monorail, the Sternwheeler, the log flume, and Thunder Road. All gone. Carowinds has such a history with all of the companies that owned it and changed the theming. The Hard Rock Park/Freestyle Music Park that Sam did a video on his channel some time ago probably went bankrupt partly because of Carowinds already being the favorite in the Carolinas. People went to Myrtle Beach to enjoy the beach not to travel back inland to go to a pricy thrill ride park. Also, NC and SC residents have always had a good relationship. Once on a plane out of Charlotte, the NC and SC folks were happily chatting about where they were from UNTIL when we flew over the mountains, a gust of wind hit the plane. It was a sudden drop. It felt ike the scariest roller coaster ride you ever felt. Everyone hushed! People were frightened. Winds are common in the mountains and beach (hence, why the Wright brothers came to NC to test their new plane). So Carowinds is a good name.

Love this channel, congrats on 100K girl. Glad to share the same name as Sam as well.🥃

I grew up in Charlotte and lived 6 minutes from Carowinds. I spent pretty much every day of the summer from middle school through high school at Carowinds. One time when I was riding the Vortex, the harness popped up right before the first drop. I grabbed it and bear hugged it for the rest of the ride. It was crazy! It has changed a lot since then! I'll have to make a trip back sometime soon.

Yessss loving this trip

I lived about an hour and a half from Carowinds growing up. Went there on a school trip and rode the Carolina Cyclone, which at the time was the world's first double looping coaster ( Coasters have certainly come a loooong way since then) Haven't been in more than 30 years since I moved to the mountains only an hour from Dollywood.

Loving this road trip! Carowinds was the best, especially Camp Snoopy! I love Snoopy :)

I enjoy exploring new amusement parks with y’all! Thanks for a fun day at Carowinds, how neat that it embraces the two Carolina’s! Snoopy is the best.

I really love you guys! Thanks for an amazing visit to Carowinds!

Hi Jackie and Sam. Thank you for bringing us along on this Epic Road Trip. Love the new shades. Now on to the next Adventure.

I love Carowinds, I used to go all the time when I was younger....

What a great day at Carowinds! Another fun roller coaster day with you 2!! :)

Did I mention Natural Bridge Zoo and Caverns :). Great video guys keep it up

i love carowinds! use to go there as a kid and it's where i rode my first up-side-down coaster. so many great memories!

You were literally 10 minutes from us. Maybe next time we'll catch you up here. You weren't far from the old Heritage USA either. FURY is amazing.❤❤❤ Scareowinds is a lot of fun.You and Sam have a spectacular weekend.

The night hawk scared me a lot it was the first ever roller coaster I’ve ever been on but I conquered it

A theme Park in the middle of two states …that’s crazy!!!! So unique!!! Those look like some scary roller coasters… I’m so used to the tame ones at Disney World. I sure would like to visit this park though.

one of the best series you've ever done. we enjoyed every video immensely. Glad that you finally made Dollywood, but all the parks were nostalgic for me. Thanks Jackie. you and Sam has made me and my fiancee smile and laugh more then we have in months.

Another fun adventure. Never heard of this place but it looks like my kind of place.

Thanks for sharing diff themed parks! God bless ya in Jesus name!

I visited Carowinds for the first time in 2017 and it was lots of fun. I definitely agree that Fury 325 is the best ride in the park. Copperhead Strike wasn't built yet when I went, but I was able to go again this past Summer and got to ride that and I enjoyed it, but I was only able to get 1 ride on it so far. I agree with Sam about Vortex. My first ride on there in 2017 was a miserable, painful experience and I couldn't wait to get off that ride. I rode it again last Summer and it was a little better, but still not great. I think how you stand when you ride definitely affects the experience. Intimidator is another great ride. Not sure if you all got to ride it or not, but this one was my first B&M with the staggered seating. Glad you all enjoyed your visit!

I like the premise of a theme park in two different states, it's one of a kind in a sense. It's the little things that matter! I've noticed that these parks affiliated with Cedar Fair like Carowinds, Kings Dominion, etc all have a similar vibe but they all have there own personality! Also, this entire road trip was so much fun to watch! Thank you for bringing your enthusiasm to every vlog you make! It really shows!

It has been forever since I visited Carowinds. Thanks for the visit.

So glad their b&m invert is holding up so well.

I can’t believe you came to Carowinds!!!!!!! Your in my back yard!!!!! So exciting

Oh my gosh yay!!!! I’m so happy y’all went and had a great time!! Yeah I am not a fan of Vortex either 🤣!! But I do love some Copperhead!! When my friend and I go I’ll ride it 3 times in a row and she will sit it out because it’s tooo much! 🤣❤️

My husband, son, and uncle didn't like vortex either. They loved fury. That was their favorite.

Jackie so glad you made it! I love 80 miles North of there and spent most of my younger years there! Welcome!!!

I loved the Carolina Cyclone as a kid, first ride I ever held my hands up on.

I haven't been there in ages! Look like it is time to go back. Thanks for an awesome video as always. Loving the rode trip.

I was with my band there THE EXACT DAY THAT YOU WERE THERE! if you ever saw a school with purple shirts that was us!

I last visited Carowinds the year Fury opened. I know I'm in the minority, but I'm not a huge fan of the park. I liked Fury, but thought it was overrated. Intimidator was better than I thought it would be, and Afterburn was a very pleasant surprise. I liked the food at Harmony Hall. Kings Dominion is my home park, and I'd love to see them get something like that. The rest of the park just didn't do much for me. That being said, I'm hoping to get there this summer, and ride Copperhead. That ride seems like it'd be right up my alley. Glad you guys had a good time. Even when you're not completely taken by a park, a first visit is still something that sticks with you, and can be really special!

So cool you made it over to the theme park we go to all the time!!🤍🤍✨

So glad you made it to Carowinds! We always enter in the South Carolina side. Glad you and Sam had so much fun.

So fun we are heading to Carowinds in a few weeks 🎉

Can’t wait for you to visit Minnesota! There’s two amazing parks within 30 minutes of each other

Great video...

Another theme park, yeah👏. It's awesome to see other theme parks and other sights. Rollercoasters aren't my type of fun, but I like watching people ride them😆. I have motion sickness and a bad hip, so it's hard to ride certain things. I love the enthusiastic info and fun time. Thanks. Be Safe Take Care ❤️

Welcome to Carowinds! This is the local amusement park that I go to. So happy you did this video. It is a beautiful video!!!! Great job & thank you for sharing your day!

Never heard of this park...thanks for the tour!

Awesome. So glad you are in our neck of the woods! I worked there all 3 summers in HS. Loved it. Had a blast. Worked on the twin wooden roller coaster Thunder Road. No longer there. You would have loved that one. Hope everyone was welcoming and friendly in NC/SC! Thanks for showing our park. They use to have great concerts as well in the palladium.

I grew up right down the road from Carowinds in Fort Mill (it used to be called Paramount Carowinds) . Back in the day they used to do fireworks on certain nights and I could see the high ones from my back yard! I haven't been in almost 2 decades so it's CRAZY to see what has all changed.

Just enjoy your videos! Hope you both have a wonderful Mothers Day weekend.

The Vortex was my first Rollercoaster ever and I loved it!!! I need to go back so bad! It's been years!

Welcome to my home town hopefully you enjoyed your visit.

Carowinds used to be owned by Paramount Studios, and in 1997 or 1998 they brought a traveling Titanic exhibit to the park that included props and costumes and one of the smaller scale models of the Titanic. On hand to open the exhibit was Muffett Brown, a relative of the 'unsinkable' Molly Brown. Also, the Hornet is the Charlotte basketball team mascot.

Great job as always Your videos really give great ideas and insight. Keep up the great work.

Great road trip. You guys win the National Rollercoaster Award 🎢! Safe trip home & see you back at the 🏰 Castle! 🎥

Great video!! Carowinds is our home park as we live 15 minutes away. My kids are 10, 9 and 6 and have grown up here and developed my love of amusement/theme parks. Fury, Intimidator, Copperhead Strike, After Burn are all top class coasters and glad you liked Goldrusher...it is a classic ride there and a great medium coaster for the young ones. Sam is 100% correct about Vortex...I despise that ride and only do it if one of the kids asks.

The Intimidator is my favorite ride there, the park has a good selection of rides and I love Snoopy so to me it's a great park
