Name one major concert or major professional sport where you can attend for less than $30? I'd be surprised if you can. And you're talking 2-4 hours of entertainment at most. Now name a place where you can attend for $31.99 or less (there's always a discount coupon available) and spend 8-10 hours doing a variety of activities. That's right. Carowinds. Folks who complain about the price aren't paying attention to the price of entertainment these days. A theme park is an incredible deal. And as for parking and food prices, I give you concerts and sporting events once again. You always pay for parking and overpay for food and souvenirs, but that's a part of entertainment in America. For what you get, there's no better value than a theme park. And the thrill of Top Gun beats a Chris Weinke touchdown pass any day of the week!
Pros: Length of Visit, Variety of Activities, Helpful Staff
Cons: Summer Heat, Few Major Thrill Ride
