Carowinds is def. on my list of places to visit. Visited Cedar Point for the first time in May and Kings Island two weeks ago for Haunt and both are awesome parks, so I'm sure I won't be disappointed with Carowinds. The lineup of Fury, Afterburn and Intimidator sounds solid.
I've been to Kings Island several times now and I love it. I am going to Washington DC/Boston next summer and plan on stopping at Kings Dominion along the way. Heard a lot of good things about it and look forward to visiting.
