I am 280, 5'9" and the only ride I can't ride is Intimidator. Windseeker I couldn't ride at 280 but I now can(275).

Carowinds has security guards inside the park and patrolling the perimeter 24 hours a day.

There are signs that say not sit on the seat, and I do why you aren't supposed to. One word, Ouch! A bicycle style seat at couple G's is a pain in the crotch.

Lockers are ten plus a five dollar deposit.

And what made Carowinds crappy? Lame, outdated rides that are STILL there even after having long passed the...

Nighthawk, Cobra, Ricochet, Vortex, Reptar, following an phased spiral.

The odds of giga at Carowinds are about the same as CGA getting one. Slim to none, the new CEO has already said he is going to focus on family. As far as Cedar Point and good rides, I can count three. Force, Magnum and Blue Streak.
