It was great seeing you and your family!!! It looks like yall had a FULL and Fun day!! You are right, Carowinds did a great job putting this together on short notice, the lights and the food was awesome!!! Thanks for the Shout out!!!
Anytime buddy! It was awesome hanging out with you. I thought the food was good but if you said it was good, it must be. You make some real good lookin food over on your channel. Hopefully things clear up this year and we can bump into y’all again.
Omg i have been everyday and i am still going everyday! I was there. I was also in the dance party! I am next to Captain Macaroon at 14:44. Also for anyone who plans on going make sure to see him. He is such a great character!
Really cool! We love going to Carowinds as much as we can and was pumped up when they decided to open. We’re planning on doing a lot of videos on Carowinds and the surrounding area when things open up. You might want to consider subscribing. Thanks for watching!
Was thinking of going to see the Christmas lights and ride some coasters but those waiting times are ridiculous, really how do people get the flu by sitting in a seat? Thanks also for sharing what the food looks like, and if you'd buy it again. Helps to decide if want to buy it.
They no longer clean after every ride which helps but there are a lot more people there nowadays. We waited 45 minutes last night to ride Ricochet. I would look at is as a nice day out, eating food, and enjoying the Christmas stuff. If you’re going there to ride rides, it might be a little disappointing. Thanks for watching, I’m glad it helped! If you’re in the area, you might want to subscribe. We do a lot of NC/Charlotte area stuff.
Thanks so much! We have annual passes and go to Carowinds very often. It was going to be one of the biggest videoed places for my channel. I’m really going to cover a lot more things when it opens back up on May 22nd. If you haven’t been to Carowinds, you have to get there and ride the Fury. It’s so much fun! Thanks for watching!
nice video I will be there this sun my first visit to the park i have lived in nc for 2 years from san diego ca I just bought the 2021 pass I enjoyed your video good work
Thanks a lot! It’s a lot of work but I have fun doing them. I live in the Charlotte area so if you’re interested in seeing videos on things to do for the area, consider subscribing. I’m going to have videos up of a lot of Christmas events in our area this month.
Very cool. We’ve been thinking about doing a video on that area. I wanted to wait until the virus lightened up enough though to really get to experience it for what it is.
@@8bitvacations every thing is open just got to wear a mask WPAQ radio station has the second longest running radio show called the merry go round at the earle every sat from 11 am to 130 pm the squad car tours are open don't if the granite pit is open the last time i went it was closed
Omgsh, not to be a weirdo but we were sitting near the fried pecan pie area while y’all were filming, haha. I remember telling my boyfriend that I thought I wish he’d filmed my reaction when I tried it because it was so delicious. 😆
Yea, some rides had just one person working them. I think Carowinds will change some things to make it a little better later on. Also, the lines were MUCH better later in the day.
I’m glad to help you out! If you want to see more Charlotte area events, check out my channel and consider subscribing. We’re doing a lot of other Christmas events too you might be interested in.
When we went, they spaced out seats and wiped the ride down each time. That really took a long time to get through the lines. For the school bus ride that goes up and down, we were like 5th in line and it took us about 20 min. However, I have heard reports that they are moving much faster than they used to. I can’t verify that until this weekend though.
@@8bitvacations this is great to know! We bought tickets for Saturday so hoping we can ride more than a few in the time we are there. We went ahead and also bought the refill mug. Do you know if that's just on soda or does it include hot drinks?
There are two types of refillable cups you can get. There is an all season drink refill and a hot chocolate one you purchase for Taste of the Season. The all season one can ONLY get you soft drinks and things. To get the hot chocolate one, you have to pay more for it in the park. I think it was around $13. My wife talked a little about it in the video. If you want to see more videos on Carowinds and other Charlotte area things, you might want to consider subscribing because that's my channel's main focus and I enjoy helping people out with questions like this. If you have anymore questions though, keep them coming! BTW, I'm going to be there Saturday too. If you see us, say hey!
Afterburn, Copperhead Strike, and Ricochet were the only ones open. Thanks so much for watching! If you’re in the area, consider subscribing. We focus on Carowinds and the Charlotte area.
That was pleasant. I've not been to Carowinds or ScaroWinds yet. Those performers played at Cedar Point in the recent past. We can't have Xmas at CP since it's on Lake Erie. Lots of snow pretty cold. The Summer and Fall seasons were nice. btw check out my vid I use cloths on my glasses to good effect "ANTI-FOG DRY CLOTH THAT WORKS with Eyeglasses & Masks | amusement420"
Will do! I just subscribed and I’ll check it out ASAP. SCarowinds is AWESOME but if I could only come down one seasonal event, I think I’d pick Winterfest. They are doing Taste of the Season in place of Winterfest this year but you should definitely check it out whenever we go back to normal. Keep in mind that most the coasters are shut down for Winterfest so if you want to ride the Fury, you’d need to come another time. If you have any questions from planning a trip, just shoot me a message on IG or a comment on here and I’ll help you out. Thanks for watching!
Feel free to ask questions or leave positive comments down here! I love chatting with y’all!

Crazy Pop!!! Lol... We were there yesterday and really enjoyed the taste of the season! Great job Carowinds! Looks like y'all had a nice time! ~Dawn
We had a great time and we’re sad we missed you! We made more reservations so we will definitely be back and eating some more food lol.
@@8bitvacations we have more too... Planning to be back the last Saturday of the event. ~Dawn

Thanks for the info! I’ll check out that squad car tour and the granite pit. Very helpful for what I do.

I would have! If you see me next time, stop over and say hey! That pecan pie was VERY good.
That queue is ridiculous! LOL

@@8bitvacations That’s good to know, I’ve only been one day and had to leave before the evening. I’ll be back to check out the lights later on!
I’m glad to help you out!

I may have missed it on the video but was curious to know the wait times for rides in Camp Snoopy?
When we went, they spaced out seats and wiped the ride down each time. That really took a long time to get through the lines. For the school bus ride that goes up and down, we were like 5th in line and it took us about 20 min. However, I have heard reports that they are moving much faster than they used to.

Randy West Love ❤️ Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina USA 🇺🇸.
It’s such a good amusement park!
I’m digging that hat Brad!
Haha, thanks! I’ve worn that thing for years. I need to find me a dark side one.
@@8bitvacations do they have one? Lol
I’ve been looking and can’t seem to find one. I’d like to find a cool Vader Santa hat one day but it’s hard to beat the big floppy Yoda ears lol
