Carowinds Plans Exciting New Adults-Only Zone for This Summer
Charlotte, North Carolina is buzzing with excitement as Carowinds, the beloved amusement park, prepares to reopen its gates on March 15. This year promises to be extra special, as the park is getting ready to unveil two brand-new family rides alongside a thrilling addition that is sure to catch the eye of adult visitors: the Carolina Shore Club.
A New Oasis for Adults
The Carolina Shore Club is set to take center stage as the park’s only adults-only area, welcoming guests aged 21 and over. With a planned opening around the popular Memorial Day weekend, weather permitting, this new space is designed to elevate the experience for adult visitors, offering a relaxing atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the main attractions. The Carolina Shore Club will span a whopping 27,280 square feet, providing ample room to unwind and enjoy the summer sun.
A Swim-Up Bar and Fun Activities
One of the most exciting features of the Carolina Shore Club is Paul Metto’s Dockside Bar, a full-service swim-up pool bar. Picture this: you float in the water, sipping your drink, while soaking up the sun. Sounds like a fantastic way to cool off and relax after a day packed with roller coasters and other thrilling rides, right?
In addition to the swim-up bar, guests can enjoy a variety of lawn games, including cornhole and giant Jenga. These fun games will not only spark friendly competition but will also create a vibrant social atmosphere, making it an appealing spot for friends and couples alike.
For those looking to indulge even more, the Carolina Shore Club will offer six private cabanas for rent. Each cabana comes equipped with a mini fridge, flat-screen TV, and a dedicated server, ensuring that guests have everything they need to complete their ultimate day of relaxation.
A Commitment to New Experiences
The addition of the Carolina Shore Club and the new family rides marks an exciting investment for Carowinds, especially following the 2024 merger of Cedar Fair and Six Flags. With this merger, the newly combined company has relocated to Charlotte, and they are making it a priority to enhance guest experiences and diversify activities throughout the park.
The creation of this adults-only area not only adds value to season passes but also strengthens Carowinds’ reputation as a destination for visitors of all ages. The park is entering its 52nd season this year, and it’s clear that it is committed to keeping things fresh and exciting for all who visit.
