Recently, Carowinds opened their brand-new Carolina Harbor water park expansion. It’s going to be the perfect place to beat the heat this summer.
But did you know that Carowinds’ water park was originally a separate ticketed attraction that was owned independently from the park? Or that Carolina Harbor is actually the 5th name that the water park at Carowinds has had?
In a guest post for Carowinds’ AirTime Blog, I examined the history of the water park, which has grown from a single wave pool named Ocean Island into the “largest water park in the Carolinas.”
Coaster101 and Carowinds are giving you the chance to experience the all-new Carolina Harbor in person! All you need to do is comment on this post with the Carolina Harbor attraction you’re most looking forward to experiencing in person, and we’ll pick one winner on Tuesday, June 21.
The winner will receive a Carolina Harbor prize pack full of great Carolina Harbor swag, as well as four (4) tickets to Carowinds so that you can experience your selected attraction first hand! But you only have until 11:59PM Eastern on June 20 (The First Day of Summer) to enter!
Good luck!

I was there in 1982 when it was named Ocean Island and cost $3.00. Tomorrow on Fathers Day my adult twins are taking me back to experience Blackbeard’s revenge. I know the price has gone up a little since my last visit but at 63 years old I am just as excited to be going as I was back then!
Looking forward to Blackbeard’s Revenge!
