I just read where Carowinds is testing online ordering for food through the Carowinds app.

We took a tour of Thunderhead's lift hill Saturday during Thrills in the Hills. They shared a lot of great info about Thunderhead!!! Pete Owens was at the top waiting on us and shared even more info. PLUS you can get a great view of "phase 2"
I was there on 12/31 and Afterburn was all but a walk on most of the night. After Midnight we rode 6 times and never got out of our seats. The longest we waited was one train. Other rides in the park had lines but nothing really bad.
As far as WG opening, we was told on the construction tour that it will open in May. Not sure when or if pass holders will get a sneak peek before the public.
Carowinds held a construction tour Wed. Oct 17. Here is a video of that tour I made. A lot of great info, and one of the best things we found out is Copperhead Strike can run in cooler weather and will be open for Winterfest 2019!! I hope you enjoy.
