Love seeing you give Carowinds some love. That's my home park and I was a costumed character there for 6 years. Very underrated park with some great coasters.
Carowinds isn’t really a small park but it’s definitely not considered a must-see in America although it should be. It’s had many staples in history, one of which being the Carolina cyclone; the first 4-inversion roller coaster.
Really like the RUclips so much fun scream it out I am a great time together you and Sam are having a wonderful 👍👍 two thumbs up how many more RUclips video this is Jenna Dabao had fun
I shared this with my kids: when they were little, we lived there in Charlotte and would go there for Mother's Day....NOTHING looks the same! Ah...memories!
I just adore this series so much. I still can't believe your timing on it, and it's so much fun for me to watch all these videos of places I'll soon live close enough to road trip myself. So happy you and Sam have gotten this opportunity and thank you for the unique way you cover these places!!!
Glad you guys enjoy Carowinds!! It's my homework and I'm a former ride supervisor as well for 7yrs during the paramount days. As Far as logistics with rides, it's basically state specific. So if a rides station is in NC then that ride must take on NC laws and commissioning. The same goes for any ride stations in SC. As for the Fury hornet, It's just a loose theme around the Charlotte Hornets NBA team. Same go with Intimidator tied to of course NASCAR and Dale Earnhardt, a big deal in Charlotte. Fun Facts: Goldrusher is original to the park. The gum wall is a tradition lol. Use to be one in the queue tunnel of Hurler too. Copperhead Strike has not thing to do with a snake. It's a play on words type of deal. The theme and story line is that grandma is an award winning jam maker for the fair. You (riders) are snooping around to see what her secret and realize she makes and uses moonshine. So the name Copperhead is actually coming from the copper top or head of the machine used to make moonshine, hence why on the ride sign the snake is made out of copper piping if you noticed lol.
9:50 the carousel used to be in Evansville Indiana next to the Mesker park zoo. The carousel was privately owned and sold to the Carolwinds in the early 1980s. Thank you for showing the carousel.
I’m only eight. And the copperhead is my favorite ride. My first time I was super scared, but then I rode it three times in a row - edited by mom: he was very brave
it really makes me smile watching this. brings back so many great memories. i can't wait til i have children one day. haha they will love carowinds! great video!
I grew up in Charlotte and lived 6 minutes from Carowinds. I spent pretty much every day of the summer from middle school through high school at Carowinds. One time when I was riding the Vortex, the harness popped up right before the first drop. I grabbed it and bear hugged it for the rest of the ride. It was crazy! It has changed a lot since then! I'll have to make a trip back sometime soon.
@@SuperEnthused It was. But I was young and dumb. So it didn't stop me from riding it. I was back on it later that week. If you guys make it back to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, make sure you go to the Mysterious Mansion. As fellow HHN fans, I think you guys would really enjoy it!
I’m from Florida. The way I got to go to Carowinds was through a band competition! It’s so cool to see they are still doing this 25 years laters!! #bandgeeksunite
Loved White Lightning, the Monorail, the Sternwheeler, the log flume, and Thunder Road. All gone. Carowinds has such a history with all of the companies that owned it and changed the theming. The Hard Rock Park/Freestyle Music Park that Sam did a video on his channel some time ago probably went bankrupt partly because of Carowinds already being the favorite in the Carolinas. People went to Myrtle Beach to enjoy the beach not to travel back inland to go to a pricy thrill ride park. Also, NC and SC residents have always had a good relationship. Once on a plane out of Charlotte, the NC and SC folks were happily chatting about where they were from UNTIL when we flew over the mountains, a gust of wind hit the plane. It was a sudden drop. It felt ike the scariest roller coaster ride you ever felt. Everyone hushed! People were frightened. Winds are common in the mountains and beach (hence, why the Wright brothers came to NC to test their new plane). So Carowinds is a good name.
Welcome to Carowinds! This is the local amusement park that I go to. So happy you did this video. It is a beautiful video!!!! Great job & thank you for sharing your day!
I grew up in North Carolina and had season passes to Carowinds almost every year. Love seeing it again since it's been a hot minute. We always bounced between states, too. It probably drove the parents nuts after the umpteenth time, lol
I lived about an hour and a half from Carowinds growing up. Went there on a school trip and rode the Carolina Cyclone, which at the time was the world's first double looping coaster ( Coasters have certainly come a loooong way since then) Haven't been in more than 30 years since I moved to the mountains only an hour from Dollywood.
Wow the production on these videos just keeps getting better, its like watching a movie! Really interesting quirky park and great to hear the mention of some UK rides in comparison! Fab Fab Fab! 🎢💈
Great video!! Carowinds is our home park as we live 15 minutes away. My kids are 10, 9 and 6 and have grown up here and developed my love of amusement/theme parks. Fury, Intimidator, Copperhead Strike, After Burn are all top class coasters and glad you liked Goldrusher...it is a classic ride there and a great medium coaster for the young ones. Sam is 100% correct about Vortex...I despise that ride and only do it if one of the kids asks.
I've lived in South Carolina for a little over 8yrs and finally visited Carowinds for the first time last week for Scarowinds. Got a 2025 season pass and added on the all-season meal plan and drink plus plan. I would have gone again today if they had been open, but unfortunately they're not open on weekdays during the off season.
Oh my gosh yay!!!! I’m so happy y’all went and had a great time!! Yeah I am not a fan of Vortex either 🤣!! But I do love some Copperhead!! When my friend and I go I’ll ride it 3 times in a row and she will sit it out because it’s tooo much! 🤣❤️
I love Carowinds, Fury front row is my favorite ride, so is Intimidator front row, Afterburn front row, Copperhead Strike, zephyr southern star Carolina Cyclone Drop Tower Electro Spin,
one of the best series you've ever done. we enjoyed every video immensely. Glad that you finally made Dollywood, but all the parks were nostalgic for me. Thanks Jackie. you and Sam has made me and my fiancee smile and laugh more then we have in months.
So many memories at that park. The Woodstock Express used to be the Scooby Doo Roller Coaster. It was my first roller coaster. The one major negative at Carowinds is that there is no shade at all! Those Carolina summers are rough at that park. Awesome video!
@@nicoleel2578 Yeah, it was Fairly Odd Parents. That's what it became after Scooby Doo. Then it became Woodstock Express. I don't remember what Boo Blasters used to be.
A theme Park in the middle of two states …that’s crazy!!!! So unique!!! Those look like some scary roller coasters… I’m so used to the tame ones at Disney World. I sure would like to visit this park though.
Love you guys!! You are so cute together and your vids are very interesting! We have been to many of the parks you are visiting and you are bringing back so many memories!!
Every Cedar Fair park you go to… you get a little closer to Cedar Point. That’s going to be my favorite video of all. ☺️☺️☺️ I can’t wait to see how y’all feel about that park.
Haha yes we are inching our way there! Kinda waiting for the parks to fully open for the season bc right now they’re mostly only open weekends and it makes it hard to plan a multi day trip. But SOON!
The thing that really struck me about this park is that it seems very well maintained and for the most part clean? … except for the gum! So interesting to see all the different coasters. : )
The "J.R. Helms Mining Co" sign on Goldrusher is a tribute to a long time employee Jerry Helms. He started as a seasonal employee during the first season in 1973 and retired last year as a vice president of operations. Carowinds does get ride and restaurant inspections from both states. When I worked there, we had some different alcohol laws that had to be followed depending on what restaurant you were working. Also security guards have the certification to arrest someone in one state, I think SC, but not the other. Also if they have an emergency, many times, fire departments from both states respond.
This park looks like a lot of fun and super cool you get to be in two states at once!! There’s a theme park in NY called Darien Lake that has an older wooden coaster. You and Sam would prob enjoy that park!!! Thanks for bringing us along!
I like the premise of a theme park in two different states, it's one of a kind in a sense. It's the little things that matter! I've noticed that these parks affiliated with Cedar Fair like Carowinds, Kings Dominion, etc all have a similar vibe but they all have there own personality! Also, this entire road trip was so much fun to watch! Thank you for bringing your enthusiasm to every vlog you make! It really shows!
So glad you made it to my home park and had an amazing time! It's a great time during any season, Spring, Summer during Carolina Harbor days and Scarowinds in the Fall! You'll have to go back during the Winter and go ice skating!
Enjoyed seeing you Jackie, & Sam at Carowinds! Glad you both got to enjoy the park. Camp Snoopy's a cute area. I liked Carowinds. I hope you & Sam get to experience Kennywood Amusement Park in West Mifflin, Pa.. I loved Kennywood! I did visit Carowinds & rode their wooden coaster. That was so long ago. Don't have any Kids now. Just enjoy your videos! Hope you both have a wonderful Mothers Day weekend.
Jackie, you have now officially LIVED... just by having 1 foot in 2 states!! Great entertaining coverage as usual . Thank You Jackie & Sam for taking us along with your adventure !
Awesome. So glad you are in our neck of the woods! I worked there all 3 summers in HS. Loved it. Had a blast. Worked on the twin wooden roller coaster Thunder Road. No longer there. You would have loved that one. Hope everyone was welcoming and friendly in NC/SC! Thanks for showing our park. They use to have great concerts as well in the palladium.
The very first roller coaster I rode was at Carowinds! It was called White Lightning and it was literally a launch and return. After that white knuckle ride, I was hooked. It is such a beautiful park, so glad you enjoyed it!
Oh my gosh yes! White Lightning was the vet first coaster I ever rode. Scared the heck out of me, but then I was hooked. I remember the Oaken Bucket ride it was awesome.
Jackie and Sam,I simply enjoy watching your adventures! You had mentioned while visiting Carowinds how you would like to visit every amusement park and I immediately thought how the two of you would really enjoy Holiday World & Splashing Safari,located in Santa Claus,Indiana which is just 30 minutes from me! It is the very first amusement park in the U.S,the world's largest water park and the very first wooden roller coaster AND one of the best ones too! I know you love water slides and coasters and I know you would really enjoy Holiday World & Splashing Safari and of course a beautiful road trip to Southern Indiana! XOXO
I grew up right down the road from Carowinds in Fort Mill (it used to be called Paramount Carowinds) . Back in the day they used to do fireworks on certain nights and I could see the high ones from my back yard! I haven't been in almost 2 decades so it's CRAZY to see what has all changed.
I visited Carowinds for the first time in 2017 and it was lots of fun. I definitely agree that Fury 325 is the best ride in the park. Copperhead Strike wasn't built yet when I went, but I was able to go again this past Summer and got to ride that and I enjoyed it, but I was only able to get 1 ride on it so far. I agree with Sam about Vortex. My first ride on there in 2017 was a miserable, painful experience and I couldn't wait to get off that ride. I rode it again last Summer and it was a little better, but still not great. I think how you stand when you ride definitely affects the experience. Intimidator is another great ride. Not sure if you all got to ride it or not, but this one was my first B&M with the staggered seating. Glad you all enjoyed your visit!
I’ve been carowinds so many times like I’m 15 rn and I’ve been going since I was able to walk & my parents never took me into harmony hall so it was nice to see what it look likes inside so thank you for vlogging that
You were literally 10 minutes from us. Maybe next time we'll catch you up here. You weren't far from the old Heritage USA either. FURY is amazing.❤❤❤ Scareowinds is a lot of fun.You and Sam have a spectacular weekend.
Love seeing you give Carowinds some love. That's my home park and I was a costumed character there for 6 years. Very underrated park with some great coasters.
Underrated? I think its one of the most highly regarded parks in the chain hell I might even say its a bit overrated
By the way, I went to Carowinds today I went on Saturday
I like how you go to different theme parks all over the place!!
So glad you enjoyed coming to the Carolina’s! Thank you for taking the time out to come to the smaller theme parks
It's a pleasure and so refreshing, honestly! It's an honor to be able to see and share these gems!! ❤❤❤
Carowinds isn’t really a small park but it’s definitely not considered a must-see in America although it should be. It’s had many staples in history, one of which being the Carolina cyclone; the first 4-inversion roller coaster.
Living her best life on the Woodstock Express!!! Classic!!!!
Hahahah yesss! 😂
Really like the RUclips so much fun scream it out I am a great time together you and Sam are having a wonderful 👍👍 two thumbs up how many more RUclips video this is Jenna Dabao had fun
I like watching these types of videos to kind of get a preview for them or just watch them for fun😊
We hated the Vortex as well. The most uncomfortable coaster I’ve ever done. Glad Sam agreed.
I shared this with my kids: when they were little, we lived there in Charlotte and would go there for Mother's Day....NOTHING looks the same! Ah...memories!
I just adore this series so much. I still can't believe your timing on it, and it's so much fun for me to watch all these videos of places I'll soon live close enough to road trip myself. So happy you and Sam have gotten this opportunity and thank you for the unique way you cover these places!!!
This is the first time I see a theme park that is located in two states at once! It is very unique!
Thank you for visiting South Carolina 😊
Good to have a healthy option - and LOTS of it
The Vortez is also known as the nut cracker! I live 2 miles from Carowinds and go there all the time.
I love how Jackie looks at the bungee ride and says "that doesn't look too bad!" and I'm like "could never be me." Love your videos as always!
😂 right?!!

Thank you immensly for saving tens of thousands of people from vortex and its pain.(Especially for short guys)
Vortex is actually crazy smooth this season. My wife finally gave in and agreed to ride it again and even she liked it. We rode it twice.
My home park...glad you enjoyed the visit
I’m only eight. And the copperhead is my favorite ride. My first time I was super scared, but then I rode
it three times in a row - edited by mom: he was very brave
oh wow that's brave of you to ride it! it's really scary!
it really makes me smile watching this. brings back so many great memories. i can't wait til i have children one day. haha they will love carowinds! great video!

Fury 325 may in fact be one of the greatest coasters ever created. It's definitely in my top 5.
I really love you guys! Thanks for an amazing visit to Carowinds!

So exciting

Another fun adventure. Never heard of this place but it looks like my kind of place.
Welcome back to North Carolina ❗️
OMG I WENT THERE YESTERDAY😂😂😂😂
Welcome to Carowinds! This is the local amusement park that I go to. So happy you did this video. It is a beautiful video!!!! Great job & thank you for sharing your day!
I grew up in North Carolina and had season passes to Carowinds almost every year. Love seeing it again since it's been a hot minute. We always bounced between states, too. It probably drove the parents nuts after the umpteenth time, lol
Sam didn't pull any punches on the Vortex review. Love it!
That was like me after Intimidator 305 😂 we all have our “never again” coasters
I haven't been there in ages! Look like it is time to go back. Thanks for an awesome video as always. Loving the rode trip.
I lived about an hour and a half from Carowinds growing up. Went there on a school trip and rode the Carolina Cyclone, which at the time was the world's first double looping coaster ( Coasters have certainly come a loooong way since then) Haven't been in more than 30 years since I moved to the mountains only an hour from Dollywood.
Love this channel, congrats on 100K girl. Glad to share the same name as Sam as well.🥃
Great job as always
Your videos really give great ideas and insight. Keep up the great work.
Jackie so glad you made it! I love 80 miles North of there and spent most of my younger years there! Welcome!!!
Wow the production on these videos just keeps getting better, its like watching a movie! Really interesting quirky park and great to hear the mention of some UK rides in comparison! Fab Fab Fab! 🎢💈
So glad you made it to Carowinds! We always enter in the South Carolina side. Glad you and Sam had so much fun.

What a great day at Carowinds! Another fun roller coaster day with you 2!! :)
Loving this road trip! Carowinds was the best, especially Camp Snoopy! I love Snoopy :)
Did I mention Natural Bridge Zoo and Caverns :). Great video guys keep it up
I enjoy exploring new amusement parks with y’all! Thanks for a fun day at Carowinds, how neat that it embraces the two Carolina’s! Snoopy is the best.
I've lived in South Carolina for a little over 8yrs and finally visited Carowinds for the first time last week for Scarowinds. Got a 2025 season pass and added on the all-season meal plan and drink plus plan. I would have gone again today if they had been open, but unfortunately they're not open on weekdays during the off season.
Can’t wait for you to visit Minnesota! There’s two amazing parks within 30 minutes of each other
Hi Jackie and Sam. Thank you for bringing us along on this Epic Road Trip. Love the new shades. Now on to the next Adventure.
It has been forever since I visited Carowinds. Thanks for the visit.
Oh my gosh yay!!!! I’m so happy y’all went and had a great time!! Yeah I am not a fan of Vortex either 🤣!! But I do love some Copperhead!! When my friend and I go I’ll ride it 3 times in a row and she will sit it out because it’s tooo much! 🤣❤️
I love Carowinds, Fury front row is my favorite ride, so is Intimidator front row, Afterburn front row, Copperhead Strike, zephyr southern star Carolina Cyclone Drop Tower Electro Spin,

one of the best series you've ever done. we enjoyed every video immensely. Glad that you finally made Dollywood, but all the parks were nostalgic for me. Thanks Jackie. you and Sam has made me and my fiancee smile and laugh more then we have in months.
i love carowinds! use to go there as a kid and it's where i rode my first up-side-down coaster. so many great memories!
Fun vlog! Carrowinds looks like a cool and fun place.
So many memories at that park. The Woodstock Express used to be the Scooby Doo Roller Coaster. It was my first roller coaster. The one major negative at Carowinds is that there is no shade at all! Those Carolina summers are rough at that park. Awesome video!
Ohh I can picture that actually. We lucked out on a reaaaally nice day so it didn’t impact our day thankfully.
So true.
If I remember correctly, Woodstock express was a FairlyOddParents rollercoaster! Boo blasters was Scooby doo themed however!
@@nicoleel2578 Yeah, it was Fairly Odd Parents. That's what it became after Scooby Doo. Then it became Woodstock Express. I don't remember what Boo Blasters used to be.
@@PBuffdaddy00 Years ago boo blasters was a place where they did a saloon style stage show.
The night hawk scared me a lot it was the first ever roller coaster I’ve ever been on but I conquered it
Thanks for sharing diff themed parks! God bless ya in Jesus name!
I've been to Carowinds and I'm glad that y'all had fun and on my birthday will be my third time at Carowinds
A theme Park in the middle of two states …that’s crazy!!!! So unique!!! Those look like some scary roller coasters… I’m so used to the tame ones at Disney World. I sure would like to visit this park though.
It's so unique!! Most of these other parks, the coasters are a whole other level!
Love you guys!! You are so cute together and your vids are very interesting! We have been to many of the parks you are visiting and you are bringing back so many memories!!
Every Cedar Fair park you go to… you get a little closer to Cedar Point. That’s going to be my favorite video of all. ☺️☺️☺️ I can’t wait to see how y’all feel about that park.
Haha yes we are inching our way there! Kinda waiting for the parks to fully open for the season bc right now they’re mostly only open weekends and it makes it hard to plan a multi day trip. But SOON!
Just amazing enjoyed every moment of this vlog 😍 both of you are very brave taking on those roller-coasters keep enjoying your trip
So glad their b&m invert is holding up so well.
My husband, son, and uncle didn't like vortex either. They loved fury. That was their favorite.
Great vlog! Any park that has a B&M invert and giga ......and sells starbucks is a winner in my eyes! 👍
Win win win!
That lunch looked PERFECT for a diabetic or someone just watching their diet. This is something I struggle with when going to theme parks.
It was so refreshing to have as an option!
The thing that really struck me about this park is that it seems very well maintained and for the most part clean? … except for the gum! So interesting to see all the different coasters. : )
Yes agree, it was all very clean and well maintained. Everything felt nicely painted and bright.
The "J.R. Helms Mining Co" sign on Goldrusher is a tribute to a long time employee Jerry Helms. He started as a seasonal employee during the first season in 1973 and retired last year as a vice president of operations.
Carowinds does get ride and restaurant inspections from both states. When I worked there, we had some different alcohol laws that had to be followed depending on what restaurant you were working. Also security guards have the certification to arrest someone in one state, I think SC, but not the other. Also if they have an emergency, many times, fire departments from both states respond.

I can't wait to visit carowinds in august it looks amazing and you did such a great job as always
I like the premise of a theme park in two different states, it's one of a kind in a sense. It's the little things that matter! I've noticed that these parks affiliated with Cedar Fair like Carowinds, Kings Dominion, etc all have a similar vibe but they all have there own personality! Also, this entire road trip was so much fun to watch! Thank you for bringing your enthusiasm to every vlog you make! It really shows!
So fun we are heading to Carowinds in a few weeks 🎉
I live in North Carolina and it's my first time finding out there is an amusement park in NC! I wanna go maybe next year
So glad you made it to my home park and had an amazing time! It's a great time during any season, Spring, Summer during Carolina Harbor days and Scarowinds in the Fall! You'll have to go back during the Winter and go ice skating!

Jackie, you said "Borg". That's so cool. I didn't know you were a Star Trek fan.
Yes love Star Trek! Particularly a TNG fan!!!
I love carowinds!
Jackie, you have now officially LIVED... just by having 1 foot in 2 states!!
Great entertaining coverage as usual .
Thank You Jackie & Sam for taking us along with your adventure !
Haha I feel like that in itself was a memorable moment!!
Another great video jackie i love it
I love Carowinds, I used to go all the time when I was younger....
Awesome. So glad you are in our neck of the woods! I worked there all 3 summers in HS. Loved it. Had a blast. Worked on the twin wooden roller coaster Thunder Road. No longer there. You would have loved that one. Hope everyone was welcoming and friendly in NC/SC! Thanks for showing our park. They use to have great concerts as well in the palladium.

Oh my gosh yes! White Lightning was the vet first coaster I ever rode. Scared the heck out of me, but then I was hooked. I remember the Oaken Bucket ride it was awesome.
@@kareng3847 😆
This is a great looking Amusement Park.
So cool being in both states lol Heard of this place but never been, looks like there are tons of amazing rides! Fun addition to the road trip!

I stood in front of that sign not even 7 months ago at Scarewinds. hope you had a good time there 😊 it's a nice amusement park.
You were literally 10 minutes from us. Maybe next time we'll catch you up here. You weren't far from the old Heritage USA either. FURY is amazing.❤❤❤ Scareowinds is a lot of fun.You and Sam have a spectacular weekend.
This is my home theme park and I agree the vortex is not a great ride. The cyclone is my favorite ride. It was the first upside down ride that I rode.
I loved the Carolina Cyclone as a kid, first ride I ever held my hands up on.
Fury 325 is one beast of a coaster! Went on the front row once and you definitely feel every second of that 95mph speed limit. 😂
felt like I was in the park with you too, really cool! thank u❤️
Should totally come back for Scarowinds. They also have the park themed during christmas time as well.
Never heard of this park...thanks for the tour!
So cool you made it over to the theme park we go to all the time!!🤍🤍✨
