Hey guys, as some of you know I am a certifiable roller coaster nut and I have had the idea of a day out at Carowinds for F3 for a while now and I’m going to step out and see what happens. If you want to come, please respond in the comments below, even if you don’t pay until later on.
Here’s the thang:
What – Day out for all Pax, M’s and 2.0’s at Carowinds, located on the NC/SC border. The park offers world-class (not joking) coasters and thrill rides as well as a great kids section called Planet Snoopy. If your 2.0’s are able to walk, they will have plenty to do. If they are younger, there’s even a few rides for them too. Lucy’s Crabby Cabbie is a thrill you don’t want to miss riding with your kids! I’m being sarcastic there.
When – October 14 – 10:00 – 5:00
During the fall the park hosts both SCarowinds at night (not good for small kids) and The Great Pumpkin Fest (great for kids of all ages) during the day. The Great Pumpkin Fest is included in your admission price.
Cost – If you are a Carowinds season pass holder, then admission is free. If you need to purchase admission, I will am able to get us the group rate for at least fifteen or more. Cost is $37.00 each including taxes and fees, which saves you about $12 per ticket off the regular rate. Parking is not included and runs about $20 per vehicle. When you are ready to HC, please send your funds to Drop Thrill at coasterwes@ bellsouth.net (PayPal). If we end up not getting 15 people, I will refund your money and we will decide what to do at that point.
Food! – We will eat on our own and you are free to do your thang with your family. You can bring a meal and keep it in your vehicle, then get your hand stamped and leave to picnic at your car, then come back in the park. The park has a lot of options too available for purchase.
Note: Due to SCarowinds, the regular admission and group admission is only from 10:00 – 5:00 during weekends in September and October.
If you want to stay after we wrap up for the day and attend SCarowinds, you will have to exit the park and buy a separate ticket on your own if you just haven’t gotten your blood pumping enough by then.
Feel free to throw out any questions and please HC below. I look forward to riding Fury 325, my #1 favorite coaster with you guys and your families this October!
Deadline to pay is October 2!
