Way too unrealistic. Tennesse couldn't support another amusement park, much less one owned by Cedar Fair.

This is amazing! Honestly the best park since Six Flags South Carolina. I love the flume ride and the entrance AND the new coaster. Can't wait to watch it's growth.

South Carolina does in fact have cheaper taxes because of the state size, space is also another factor. Cedar Fair has told us to "watch" Carowinds, because of it's potential to grow...which I can see happening.

I mean the rides are built where there is room. But some idiotic people think that CF is showing favoritism for South Carolina. Both states claim the park, but if it came down to it, the park is in North Carolina.

I like Kings Dominion....but I love Carowinds. Both parks have certain rides I would take out & both parks have rides I ride everytime. Afterburn & Intimidator make the park a must see for tourist. I live about an hour and a half from Carowinds and about 4 hours from Kings Dominion. I went to KD 4 times during the season & Carowinds 9. Everything seems to go smoother at Carowinds & the park has a more relaxed layout.

In my opinion, Cedar Fair needs to decide which park is going to be bigger, Carowinds or Kings Dominion? The parks are to close together to be adding the same rides. But Cedar Fair has said that Carowinds would be the "Cedar Point of the South". BUT, Carowinds is only adding Windseeker, when Kings Dominion is adding Windseeker & Dinosaurs Alive. It was the same in 2010 when the Intimidator's were built. KD got the taller coaster when the theme of the ride was inspired by a NC legend. Now, Carowinds makes Six Flags over Georgia look like a baby (with the exception of Goliath). And people are talking about how newer rides to Carowinds are on the South Carolina side of the park. It doesn't mean Cedar Fair is showing favoritism to that state, hence the park address being "14523 Carowinds Boulevard, Charlotte, NC".
