    I helped build Carowinds. Interesting trivia. At that time N Carolina had touch tone phones, but the Rock Hill Telephone Co in S Carolina was still rotary dial! The wiring met at a box on the state line. And it took some work to get them talking to each other.
    And there was a VIP lounge over the entrance turnstiles. One night Wachovia Bank, who helped Pat Hall finance the park was having a private party after hours. The steam train was running and the director of security was driving the depts brand new van. The train managed to collide with the van at a crossing on the service road. No injuries except to egos!
    Working management at a park is always interesting! Later I worked at the Marriott parks also.

    Woo! This used to be our home park. I think this will be the first year in a long time we aren't planning to go. We're changing it up and going to Dollywood, Universal Orlando, Six Flags Atlanta, and Kings Dominion this summer/fall instead. Thanks for the vid!

    I took my Daughters to Carowinds when they were younger. I rode the wooden roller coaster which got stuck ascending 1st grade after starting. It's a really nice amusement park. We grew up loving Kennywood best. Have a nice weekend Jacob!

    Just read that Carowinds shutdown the "Fury 325" rollercoaster today due to cracks found in the metal track structure.
    It worries me the force that some of these new rides generate and I immediately think of carbon fiber submersibles going to the Titanic.
    Either going 2 miles down, 29,000 feet up on Everest or defying gravity on a metal track, it's all a matter of risk and liability.
    Your life depends on whomever is maintaining these machines you use.

    I used to be a live shows performer at Carowinds during the Kings Productions/Taft Broadcasting days of the park. It hurts me to see what the park has become over the decades since it opened in 1973. All original theming has been stripped.... it now reminds me of a conglomeration of tacky fair rides, lots of hot asphalt and quite a 'blah' atmosphere. So glad I was part of the entertainment back in the original heyday of the venue.
    Great video work though.

    Just a slight factual clarification...the first flight took place at Kitty Hawk, near Kill Devil Hills in North Carolina on the Outer Banks. Not Wrightsville Beach. It was indeed by the Wright Brothers...Orville and Wilbur Wright originally from Ohio. This is why NC license plates say "First in-flight!"

Do you have different tax rates for food or beverages in the different state? What about property tax? Is one cheaper than the other? Is it more beneficial to build additions in one state than the other?? 😂😂😂
