- We'd heard for years about SCarowinds, and how it was one of the best halloween events at a theme park, but none of us were impressed after our first ever trip this month.

I actually worked as a scare actor in Silverscream this year, and we've been understaffed for sure. They started sending us on breaks in groups so that the 10-15 actors we usually have are reduced. I promise the other actors in my maze were certainly talented! There have just been a lot of struggles this year, including some moving mazes due to the conditions (heat exhaustion in the building), and a lot of guests harassing the actors. I really hope it gets better next year, and that you'll consider coming back anyway.
From what i can tell from this season florida was doing fine with actors at the Howl-o-cream events and obviously universal was properly staffed
Well it starts in 2 hours and im in the line waiting
@@blank2413 Enjoy. I have no idea what it's going to be like this year 😆
@@scowlerxgrasher8665 yeah i hope so this is my first time in scarowinds thx btw
@@scowlerxgrasher8665 I wished you worked there this year so i know what to expect
"look at this beauty"
*points camera at an interesting angle*
IK I NOTICED THAT AND IM LIKE WOOOOAAAHHHHH SUS
omg that was not intentional I promise HAHAHA
@@CoasterStudios All good!! Haha
@@CoasterStudios just trying to get footage of the underpass…
And Afterburn’s audio has always driven me crazy.
That park does look cool in the dark tho. Especially during the holidays. They go all out w/ their themes, lights, & decorations. Kind of reminds me a teeny bit of Florida w/ their lit up skies. I almost feel like im walking through a tim burton cartoon. But its super magical vibes w/ everything twinkling. Haha, it does bring the kid out on me. But yeah, I spent 80 at the gate & only got to get on 2 rides. I think my kid misheard & thought it closed at 10. She was just ready to be cranky & I had to look on the brighter side. I told her at least we'll experience Halloween walking through everything. It didn't close to 12 so our moods shifted a little. We were still only able to get on the fury & the intimidator. I might take her back this Xmas tho. & I still remember some Halloween ago where an employee had poopy stained pants. Took me awhile to realize that he was working there. Gross yes. Idk so much about creepy. Oh & the no bags thing is lame. If ppl get checked b4 going in, idk what the big deal is. Ppl can't have bags for the basics? Phone, keys, $? Idk if a couple of ppl ruined it for everyone else but thats just lame. & that sign said if ppl left we couldn't re enter... We sure as hell re entered twice. She forgot her pass. & I forgot my atm card.
I recommend checking out Dorney Park's Haunt. All their mazes are good and detailed and have multiple scares, some of the mazes are really long. Midways don't have a lot of scare actors though. Come during a Friday night and all mazes are walk ons! I haven't been there since 2019 so I don't know Covid affected the event.
Dorney is never really all that crowded either
it can get bad on saturdays but i feel like the more you go the less exciting it gets but all of the houses are really fun
@@brianfarrell269 yeah maybe on a Saturday there can be more of a wait but it's still a pretty under the radar park compared to Cedar Point or Kings Island
@@brianfarrell269 I agree and yes the maze lines do get long on Saturdays. I think I waited over an hour for Urgent Scare once on a Saturday. Luckily the coaster lines are usually around 20-30 minutes which may be long for Dorney standards but still not very long of a wait.
I was at Dorney almost every weekend for the haunt this year and I can say that the indoor mazes have really improved. The outdoor ones are still kind of lame. The ride wait times have been great though.
Carowinds is definitely my second favorite park for Fury and Copperhead Strike alone. You guys also went through the worst maze in the whole park btw, you all definitely traveled to SCarowinds on a bad day. Hope it's better next time!
TRUE FACTS
I actually worked at Scarowinds in 2018 and 2019 and I can assure you that this was an off year due to understaffing and change in theme. Back when I worked there all the scare zones had 10-15 scare actors per zone, the theme was a lot more established, and the mazes were more fun and frightening. I think y’all should give it a shot again 2-3 years down the line when the park figures out what they want to do with the event going forward, and next time try out the Slaughterhouse and Depth of Darkness, those two maze are far better than Silver Scream in my opinion.
I feel like the name alone is too good for Scarowinds to be the worst Halloween event.
Maybe they think they can get by on the name alone
Carowinds is my homepark, and this is a great event. They just had really bad luck, most of the mazes are phenomenal, and I think the primary show is better than anything at HHN
I did Hallo-Weekends at Cedar Point and the best part is that the people all went to the lines for haunts, meaning Steel Vengeance had a half hour line.
I did it a few weeks ago it was fun but the lines for some rides were bad
Halloweekends sucks. This is coming from someone who is a prefers cedar point to silver dollar city and islands of adventure. Come for night rides on Friday, saturdays forget about it
@@kylebetz9684 that’s true. That Saturday was insane.
@@kylebetz9684 that’s exactly what I did.
Makes my little Chicago heart happy to hear Raging Bull getting praised even a little in a video that also has FURY 325 in it.
Funny story actually, I saw you guys at the Afterburn and and didn't know who you guys were. Then 4 months later I decided to look for your channel to see if I could find myself in the background. Happy to say I did.
Finally SCarowinds! I went twice this year it was so fun.
btw scarowinds was hit or miss this year. First time i went every maze was full of people. Second time, it felt like they were lacking employees.
this is my favorite vlog
I’ve only been to SFFT’s Fright Fest and it’s super fun. Carnevil is my favorite. Got to experience it with a full house. Actors were EVERYWHERE. You’d turn one corner and have one actor standing directly in front of you and have two actors pop out and shock you, and when you turn the corner they have another actor. Super fun house
"Fury is fast, fast and FURYous" lol
Went to Halloweekends at Cedar Point, and was very underwhelmed. I attribute it to the labor shortage, as there were a considerably less amount of scare actors than previous years.
Taylor in the roasting each others top 15
Taylor: We’ll go for SCarowinds SCarowinds, SCarowinds
Fury 2021 was insane. Ops were not up to their 2015-19 standard, but the ride itself was running so well.
yeah fury crew was amazing this year on all my visits you trippin
Hopefully 2022 will be better!!!!!
This is suprising. I went to Dorney's Haunt 2 weeks ago and it was WAY better than what was shown here. I recommend checking out the Dorney one sometime
I agree, they do a good job with their Haunt. All 8 mazes are good and have multiple scares, some of the mazes are quite long too. The only downside is that the midways don't have a lot of actors and the don't have many scare zones. If you go on a Friday night, all the mazes for the most part are walk ons.
0:44 I caught on to that 😂😂😂
Canada's Wonderland actually also has a separate ticketed event :)
Did not know that!
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Dude I work there in Carnevil as a clown it is an off yr we're getting back into the swing of things by the way I watch your vlogs all the time I love how you breakdown coasters and parks and the predictions. Overall try and come back next yr and check it out
sarah with taylor’s taron tshirt 🥺❤️
Canada wonderland actually also does separate tickets event for there Halloween haunt event
I recommend going to Terror Manor in Roanoke, VA it'll give you a good scare
I am one of those who can say his first ride on Fury 325 was at night. Took a trip in 2018 Got to Charlotte early, set up camp and hit the park around 9 Got 4 rides in a row after dark, such a great experience!!
Fast pass is a must buy for this event. You only have 4 hours to see everything. Fast pass let's you skip all the lines for the Maze. Try to go in Sept & get on Fury 1st as the sun is setting.
Its always pack at Worlds of Fun and we're a smaller park. There be no parking spots left and everyone have to park in the grass. Is it like that at Carowinds?
I hope you guys came back and did the other mazes. The new one, Tooth Fairy, won Maze of the year!
Carowinds, don't hate me, but silver scream studios condemned sucks. It is like the worst haunted house ever. No offense, but the other haunted houses were pretty cool.
Hey coaster studios i know this is off topic but i got a good ride on mach tower because when it stops spinning i got the view of pantheon but thats not it pantheon was testing so it was pretty lucky
Yay, we were there last weekend! We had fun riding Fury over and over!
I don’t think that what you said about Cedar Fair that Knotts scary farm and Scarowinds being there only parks that are separate ticketed event. California Great America Halloween haunt is also a separate ticketed event.
Have you been to Canada’s Wonderland Halloween Haunt? If so what did you think of it? I love it!
I have not!
Honestly I watched this more for Sarah's reaction to Fury than for Scarowinds. It must have been good, because she has roller-coaster voice at the end. (Either that or she smoked a whole pack of cigarettes, lol.)
Definitely roller coaster voice, haha
I’m going to The Scarowinds event tonight and I’m super excited! I hope it’s super fun
I am lucky to call this my home park!!! Pre pandemic we would go Sunday morning and ride Fury up to 5 times before the park opening being a season pass holder. I will say 2019 was a good year for scarowinds. When we go we don’t ride any rides and just do the houses because of lines. The butcher shop was one of the better ones. You picked the worst one but realize it the was closest one to Fury.
So there's another vlog at day for this tomorrow?
I looked. And it was indeed a beauty.
Bravo, Taylor. Bravo!
Ok, that’s a little far 😂
The front row left seat of Fury is a hallmark memory
Is this left in the perspective while facing forward while seated on the train? Or left if you were facing the train head on?
@@114avataraang Seated on the train
Fury is the GOAT! I also really like Intimidator too, one of my favorite hypers.
My dad is an Air Traffic Controller and whenever it says "Clear TO take off" it drives him crazy ;)
As a pilot, it also drives me crazy
Hey Taylor what's your opinion on #Teamseas
Canadas wonderland is also a separate ticket event. It was awful this year no mazes due to covid. Literally just fog.
interesting- did not know that. Thats a real shame, doesn't seem worth the extra ticket at all!
@@CoasterStudios Well, it is a pandemic afterall...
@@coastaku1954 covid is blown out of proportion
Ayo who was the person at after burn with you. I’ve deff seen his yt vids before
6:31 I’m in it Orange Clemson shirt
uuummm I just went last night, ITS AWSOME!
Um the separate ticket thing happens at wonderland
There was a repaint? My brother and I rode it this summer and we pointed out that it looks like a very, very old ride.
We went to Halloween Haunt last Friday at Canada’s Wonderland and it was fantastic!
I wanna go back to Carowinds sooo badly!!! 🎢
How long did you have to wait for Fury? I’m surprised that you got as many rides as you did. Unless you had the fast pass. I went two weeks before and I only got one ride and the wait was close to 2 and a half hours.
Went to Carowinds Oct 9th and I go every year this year was the worst … scary zones barely had actors the display was lacking but rides were awesome as always hopefully they go back to 2019 were it was way better
0:45 he says like at this beauty while the camera looks up and down sarah😂 bruh wasn’t talking about fury 325
Intimidator at Carowinds blows away most Hyper B&Ms. People just jump on the band wagon and hate on it yet most never even rode it!
I agree I like it better then candymodium
Love that coaster. These kids are obviously spoiled rich kids.
Did u go to outlaws revenge
I remember when taylor put afterburn as his favorite invert ahead of montu
I would love to see you guys go to silver dollar city for their Christmas event
i’ve been a passholder at carowinds since i was like 9 and live very close, I went to scarowinds this season and the contrast to prior years was stark. lacking in theming, scare actors, etc. if I didn’t have the pass I definetely wouldn’t recommend paying 40 bucks for scarowinds this year but hopefully next year will be more on par with precovid scarowinds. it was pretty cool. I ended up just eating a bunch of food and leaving. still a good night lol.
Knott's Scary Farm is the goat. Top of the heap of scare events in California.
After riding all the coasters at cedar point including steel vengeance none of them top fury
In my opinion, Scarowinds has 3 ELITE mazes - Depths of Darkness, Slaughterhouse, and the best, Tooth Fairy. Scare Zones are just ehh. That said, there are two great ones - CarnEvil (by the second entrance behind Afterburn) and the one under Nighthawk. And the main show is WORLD CLASS, I legit thought I was at HHN.
Coming from a local, you had awful luck. I think you picked the worst maze and went through all the worst scare zones 😬😅
I went to Scarowinds and I did not really have q fun time, we rode fury about 3 times and intimidator once and the mazes were so packed we only got to do 2 i would definitely go to Dorney Parks Haunt and Universal’s Halloween Horror night .
Not to discredit After Burn, Raptor, and Montu because they are phenomenal rides... but I can't believe no one called you out for not showing any love to Alpengiest!
Happy Halloween
"Man That guy needs to start his engine"
Carowinds used to be my home park. I remember living in Charlotte and I literally went at least once a week. But, besides that! Scarowinds really has gone down hill the past few years. Once they introduced the " Skeleton Key " back in like 2013, it just hasn't been the same. The focus, the creativity was just down hill. I haven't been back since 2017 or 2018 and honestly I don't know if I ever will!
Its a separate event at California's Great America too
I mean let’s be honest. Most of us are just here for Sarah’s reaction to fury.
Growing up going to Knott’s Scary Farm, I don’t think any other Cedar Fair park can compete. I hope to one day get a job at Carowinds in management and maybe I can make a difference in quality :)
Fury flyin
SCarowinds? SC stands for South Carolina, So when will there be NCarowinds?
😨
You gotta make it to cedar point Halloween event Taylor it’s actually really good
Wow looks like Fury was hauling!
Riding Fury 325 late hours into the night is just an absolute dream of mine who cares if the scare zones suck haha
Yea scarowinds have been really disappointing this year, especially for the amount of traffic it pulls because of this event. I went to every maze and each had less than 7 scare actors, especially the new maze “the reaping” by the Starbucks with only 4 scare actors the entire maze. Hoping it gets better soon and you can come visit again!
yea the reaping was my least favorite. I think i saw like 3 actors? and not one tried to scare us lol
When I went in The Reaping it only had 3 scare actors, and only one attempted to scare my group. Doesn’t help that the maze is also really long, felt like a nature hike.
Not all of them had less than 7. But keep in mind, some of the monsters could've been on break.
Get them kids out the camper coming off fury 😂😂😂
Yea Montu is my home park!!!
I saw you the Saturday after this!
You didn’t miss too much with the houses. There were better houses than Silver Scream, but unfortunately a few worse than it too. Waste of time waiting in line for them.
I will say there were two scares in the houses that were on-par or better than HHN, but it was a disappointment overall.
S Carowinds you have to try these fear attraction.
NEW! The Reaping
Depths of Darkness
New tooth fairy
Red Ribbon Meats…
These will give much scary
Your camera is so shaky. Is there a way you guys can make it more stable!
I get he put montu num. 1 but afterburn/raptor at second instead of banshee is just weird in my opinion.
I WAS JUST THERE!!!!! I wish I was I the vid
I was there!!! If you went yesterday!
You did the only bad maze lol
Worlds Of Fun's Halloween Haunt is so much better. You should go there. It doesn't beat Knott's either, but is well worth the trip
I’ve Always Wanted To Go To Carowinds.
It may be me nitpicking, but the title of the video is misleading. Night rides are not the most important part of a Halloween/Haunt themed event and it seems like that’s 99% of what you guys did on this visit. I wish you guys had focused on the haunts instead to give us a better perspective on those as a whole. I trust your (the channel’s) opinion/experience and use a lot of the info to make pilgrimages to parks. I don’t feel like the final review is as informed or informative as you guys usually are. 😔
We wanted to do all of the mazes, but the crowd levels were just too high, and because we were with friends who had never been before, they wanted to prioritize the roller coasters. The final verdict came after going through all of the scare zones and the one house we did manage to do. I understand its not as thorough of a review as in the past, but its unfortunately all we had to go off of.
Come see us at scary farm!!
I’ve been twice! I love it!
Scarowinds was excellent years back and has gradually gotten boring. This year by far has been the worse. They’ve struggled to get staffing the WHOLE year. I normally go multiple times each year. I went once this year. Wasn’t worth my time and I too am a platinum holder and lube 5mins away. I opted for KI and KD’s and was very pleased. Though KD only had 3 mazes. You guys did go through the weakest maze. IMO Depths of Darkness is my favorite
Scarowinds is my home park and I agree with what you say in the end of the video. Scarowinds all in all is just a "fun" time. If I want to get scared I'm going to Woods of Terror. Scarowinds is a great time to bring a group of friends to ride roller coasters and have fun. I do wish that they would create a more intense and fearful environment but honestly I don't know if that is what they are going for because they are making loads of money where they are at right now.
Why do you want it to be full of fear? that's not fun at all...
the reaping was def the best haunt maze this year and tooth feiry was 2nd
Highly recommend ValleyScare
This was the same thing that happened at Canada’s Wonderland. They kicked everyone out at 5
YOOOOOOOO
PLZ GO TO CALIFORNIAS GREAT AMERICA EVEN THO ITS NOTHING IMPRESSIVE😭
I’ve been to CGA twice now, and one of those times was for Halloween Haunt! There’s several videos about it on my channel.
Canada's Wonderland has a halloween event with seperate tickets...
NGL Halloweekends at Cedar Point was also a total let down but it is understandable with the late season staffing issues
It’s also included with regular admission. I agree though, it’s nothing special, just some cool music and stuff to look at on your way from ride to ride.
Should’ve went to scarywood
That looks like the Lamest scare event ever! Even Kings Dominion is much scarier than that! 😱
