CAROWINDS

This park rocks the house!

Every morning when they open they always raise the flag and play the national anthem.

We are in the Nickelodeon park. All of the rug rat characters and Dora were out
greeting people.

We rode the scooby doo haunted house ride. The family are trying to imitate the
poses. On this ride you rack up points by shooting the ghosts. Mr. Incredible won!

This ride was insane! I can't believe Sweetheart and Dash rode it! They are awesome!
Dash was so scared but he did great!

I mean, check this ride out! We are upside down!

It is one of those rides that you swing back and forth and get higher and higher and then they leave you hanging upside down at the top.
Dash was so scared. He held onto Mr. I for dear life. He doesn't want to ride that ride again. It was his first adult ride.

BUMPER CAR BANGING

CRASH
OUT OF THE WAY
I couldn't resist.

I pushed my family over the limit and forced them to pose!

This is the last of the pictures. They were done with the camera.

We all enjoyed this roller coaster ride! Dash loved it. He is finally tall enough to ride most of the rides in the adult park except for 4 or 5 rides. He is fearless!

Beauty, Sweetheart, Warrior and I rode this ride. I won't do it again! but it was a fun ride! It starts off low and then spins you in a circle as it raises higher and higher

I used to love these type of rides but I think with age spinning rides does not set well with me.

I didn't get sick but I didn't feel so great for the rest of the day. If the ride lasted any longer I might have tossed my cookies. I would have been very disappointed in myself and it might have scarred me for life. I don't get sick on rides!

Carowinds amusement park used to be owned by Paramount but they were bought out this year by another company. All of the rides that had movie names have since changed. The roller coaster TOP GUN is now after burn and the roller coaster BORG is now named aftershock or something like that! BORG happens to be one of my favorite roller coaster rides and Sweetheart got to ride it for the first time this year! She loved it. I like it because you ride UPSIDE DOWN! When you ride go to seat you lay down on your back and you ride the ride face down. It is a great rush. Another roller coaster ride that we did not get the chance to ride is one where you stand throughout the roller coaster ride! That is a thrill also. It is a pretty intense ride. The families favorite roller coaster has to be After burn. You really feel the G forces at work.
Dash was not tall enough to ride those rides but all of the other "adult" roller coaster rides that he could ride. He did! We were so proud of him. This is how we ended our very busy Spring break and it was good to the end. We did purchase season passes. If you attend the park twice you pay for a season pass. The park is huge and it has a large water park area, too. The slides are so much fun. We usually spend half the day at the water park and return home for food and then head out the next day to the amusement park. It cost about $60 for a season pass. The last 2 years we were not season members because we were rarely home for the summer and when we have a neighborhood pool and we are also members of the YMCA.
NO more pictures were taken because the family were through POSING!
