At Carowinds we splurged on Fast Lane Plus passes so we did not have to wait in line for any rides. We probably got on a dozen or so different rides , doing many of them two or three times. The kids had a blast. They have a new section called County Fair which was just the ride speed for all the kids -- Ben who doesn't like tall roller coasters and the girls who don't like the "baby" rides but are too little for the big roller coasters. Ben did take Caroline on the small roller coaster in Planet Snoopy to see her reaction - he told her it was a train that went over some "medium hills". When she got off she glared at him and said, "Those were NOT medium hills, Benny!" We spent all day at the park, arriving around 10:15 and leaving around 6:30.
The only "big" roller coaster that Ben and I went on was Nighthawk, where the ride operator apparently detected some issue with my harness and had to unbuckle and re-buckle me like four times before apparently (I hope) getting the green light to send me off. Since the ride involves spending most of the time being suspended by the harness upside down with the track above you, if the thing HADN'T been fully locked I would have been a goner. So I was NOT HAPPY and was very thankful to have survived in one piece!
