Editorial Review for Paramount's Carowinds – by Katie Caperton
In Short
Thrill-seekers flock to the Top Gun and Vortex coasters while roller coaster purists appreciate the Hurler, an old-fashioned wooden ride. Scooby Doo's Haunted Mansion gives young parkgoers a chance to hunt ghosts, collect Scooby snacks and solve their very own mysteries. At 80 feet, Pipeline Peak is the tallest body slide on the East Coast. The Seventh Portal 3-D ride simulator brings comic book master Stan Lee's world to life.

Long lines. Slow moving. Dirty. No paper in bathrooms. Bathrooms far apart and nasty. I've been to other Paramount amusement parks (fav. is Cedar Point). Even short lines moved slow at Carowinds- and God knows the Carolina sun is not that forgiving in summer. The ride "directors" didn't seem to know how to effectively shuffle people on and off. The bathrooms were gross- wet floors, no TP, long lines, nobody on duty to assist. It made taking my kids to the restroom worse than normal. I didn't expect perfection but some TP would have been nice. Stalls were dark, too, and that did not hide the grossness. My daughter stood in line for an entire hour for a kiddy ride with my four year old... the line was not long at all and it wasn't all that busy that day. When she got to the ride she was told she couldn't take him and he couldn't go by himself. ...So my husband took him and had to start at the back of the line!!!! I just wouldn't spend the cash there again. Not for almost $45.00 an adult... no way.
Pros: cute idea on kids rides
Cons: VERY slow moving lines
