Carowinds

A Carowinds Vacation Becomes More Affordable Than Ever

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (July 3, 2009) – Carowinds, the 112-acre combination amusement and water park located on the border of the Carolinas near Charlotte, announced recently that they have introduced a new money-saving discount ticket program to assist families on a tight budget in their quest for a summer vacation that doesn’t break the bank. From now until July 31, the Park is offering a discount of nearly $90.00 for families of four or more.

With rising gas prices, and summer peak prices, vacation planning can become quite the penny-pinching activity of the season. Carowinds, complete with over 50 rides, shows, and attractions, including Boomerang Bay™, the 20-acre water park, is determined to make their family-fun experience affordable this summer. Guests can go online to www.carowinds.com to purchase the 4-Pack for $99.99, where 4 or more tickets are only $24.99 each until July 31! By choosing the specific day to visit, excluding Saturdays and July 19, all made easy online, a complete vacation has become entirely inexpensive.

New for 2009, Carowinds debuted Carolina Cobra, the 125-foot tall towering twisting serpent that sends riders speeding into a cobra roll and 360-degree loop forwards…and then again backwards! With 12 thrilling roller coasters, a 20-acre water park, show, special events, and a 12-acre children’s paradise, Carowinds is the perfect place to please every member of the family.

Carowinds is owned and operated by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, a publicly traded partnership that is listed for trading on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “FUN.” In addition to Carowinds, Cedar Fair owns and operates ten other amusement parks, six water parks, one indoor water park resort, and five hotels. Cedar Fair also operates the Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park in Gilroy, CA under a management contract.
