Carowinds Theme Park Lowering Admission Price

Carowinds has announced that they will lower daily admission prices for the 2007 season.  Last year, Paramount’s Carowinds was sold to Cedar Fair.  The park has been renamed Carowinds, and minor changes will be made for the upcoming season.  Those changes include lower daily fees, the return of "Frenzoid" – the huge ship that takes riders for a complete loop, and an ice show.

Prices have been lowered $5 for regular admission, to $44.95, and a junior/senior ticket now costs $19.95 (down from $32.95 in 2006).

Cedar Fair owns several amusement parks across the country and are known for having the largest and most impressive roller coasters at their parks.  Other parks owned by Cedar Fair include Cedar Point (Sandusky, OH), Knott’s Berry Farm (Buena Park, CA), and Dorney Park in Allentown, PA.

A unique feature of Carowinds is that the park grounds straddle the North Carolina and South Carolina state line.  Carowinds is located approximately 20 minutes from downtown Charlotte, in the south western part of Mecklenburg County.
