Charter Bus to Carowinds
Carowinds literally straddles the NC–SC line — the state border runs through the park. Its headline is Fury 325, a 325-foot giga coaster that crosses back and forth over the border, plus Afterburn's inverted loops and Copperhead Strike's double launch. Carolina Harbor water park is included in admission; Camp Snoopy covers the kids.
