Carowinds

 We went to Carowinds.  It is a huge, 337 acre, "thrill" park.  It has 13 roller coasters.  This is the one we went on, The Hurler.  It is a wooden one and did hurl us around.  Neither of us had ever ridden one before and probably will never do it again.

Another shot of the Hurler.

The huge splash from the flume type ride.  You could stand on the platform you see and get soaked with the splash.

This red roller coaster is called the "Intimidator", it is the longest and tallest in the Southeast.  At its highest point it has a flashing light to warn the planes from the nearby airport.

Another roller coaster.  Not sure which one this is but it had the loops.

On one of those aerial rides, got some good shots of the place.



Carowinds includes a water park and a 12 acre children's area.  All the rides and the water park are included in the admission price.  After 4 the price is cut in half which is when we went.  Not big ride people but there was plenty to see to keep us there for over 4 hours.  It has been a really long day.  Not sure what tomorrow will bring but I will let you know.
