Is there away to get to the desktop site from the apparently forced mobile site. Smartphones have pinch to zoom for a reason.... :evil:

I freaking love the new website! Also something I just realized, does Carowinds have the most swing ride variations of any other park in the world? Now that we have 4.

It's the same site. They are now using a responsive design which alters the layout based on browser window size. On a desktop, if you size your browser really small, you will see exactly what you see on a phone.

That is going to suck for those who don't have it. That seems extremely cheap, too. Hell, I may even do it. The only real day during the week that I can go to Carowinds due to work is on Saturdays so this would certainly increase my visits if I knew I had FastLane Plus.

^ I was just about to post the same thing. I'll just upload the image however, I agree with you Arby. It definitely wouldn't benefit me as I make sure I avoid weekends at all cost since I literally live down the street from the park. Then again it may because I do travel to other cedar fair parks. It would come in handy when I go to Knotts Berry, Cedar Point Kings, Island and Kings Dominion this year. :think:



I do think we've already touched on this. Carowinds is also offering an all season "drink" plan and of course the all season souvenir bottle plan both 29.99. I'm guessing wrist bands for the drink plan?

^ Well that sucks. Are you sure? California Great America offers it for $89, Kings Dominion offers it for $115. I'm guessing they are rolling out the offer as the websites are relaunched. If that's the case, it's got to be a universal add-on like all of the other add-ons.

Yep, we just bit on the all-season fast lane plus. Now that I'm working a "normal" schedule, we won't be able to only go on days/evenings when the crowds will be small. So, it's nice we'll be able to go on a busy day and not spend the whole time in line.

And now that you guys point out the season drink plan (with no bottle!), I'm going right back to give Carowinds even more money. That must be new, right?

Geez those guys really know how to empty a person's wallet.

The season long fast lane is only good for the park you buy it for. They tested it at Dorney last year. No plans at this time to make it good at all parks.

I rarely visit the park on Saturdays and I don't mind short waits on weekdays so imma pass.
