Happy season pass holder's night at Carowinds! Who else is excited to start the year off at Carowinds?!

I'm standing in line at the main gate right now. If you are attending tonight, let's hang out!

What do you guys run to first for opening day? Fury or dining?

Even though this was the shortest off season in twelve years, I still can’t believe it’s already time for the park to open again! I’m holding off until next Friday to visit, pass holder night last year was too much for me.

To everyone who’s going tonight, have a blast and please take plenty of pics to share here! :wave:

Someone mind telling me why they painted the pavement in front of Fury and Hurlers area white? No that’s not concrete.

How odd looking. I haven’t been in Camp Snoopy yet but I did see the bathrooms and they look awesome!

Slightly more aesthetically pleasing?

I'm excited to see pictures! Hopefully I'll be able to make my first trip to the park over Spring Break.

Anything would have looked better than the cracked and decrepid pavement that was there before, I’ll take it!

@hiveminded
Its a pavement coating that reduces heat coming off the asphalt during hot sunny days in the summer. L.A. is doing it to some of their streets. Black absorbs the heat and white reflects it.

I love the timber arbors at Camp Snoopy! Its something I definitely want to do at my house! I like the rustic-woods feeling :)

(I tried to upload a picture, but sadly I don't have a 2005 cellphone that takes 1 mb pictures O_O)

From the Skytower I seen no changes to the Whitewater area, it will probably be too dark to see anything by the time I get to the other side of the park.

They are currently sitting in pieces under the Fury lift hill.

Hmm. So are they coming later this season or 2019?
