spearheaded by Charlotte businessman Earl Patterson Hall, who was inspired to build
the park by a 1956 trip to <a href="/wiki/Disneyland"

together. Owned and operated by <a href="/wiki/Cedar_Fair_Entertainment_Company"

<p>Carowinds was originally envisioned as a component of a large resort which would
include hotels, a shopping center, a golf course, and an <a
href="/wiki/National_Football_League" title="National Football League">NFL</a>
stadium. However, attendance at Carowinds was curtailed by the <a
href="/wiki/1973_oil_crisis" title="1973 oil crisis">1973 oil crisis</a>, and plans
for the proposed resort were put on hold. Hall and the other stockholders of the
Carowinds Corporation continued to operate the theme park through 1974, though
sagging attendance and mounting debt forced the company to sell to <a
href="/wiki/Taft_Broadcasting" title="Taft Broadcasting">Taft Broadcasting</a> in
early 1975. Ownership had transferred from Family Leisure Centers – a joint
venture between Taft and Top Value Enterprises) – to <a
href="/wiki/Kings_Entertainment_Company" title="Kings Entertainment Company">Kings
Entertainment Company</a>, which in turn was acquired by Paramount. The park was
purchased by <a href="/wiki/Paramount_Pictures#1989-94_Paramount_Communications"
title="Paramount Pictures">Paramount Communications</a> in 1993 and joined the <a
href="/wiki/Paramount_Parks" title="Paramount Parks">Paramount Parks</a> family.
The park was renamed Paramount's Carowinds in 1993 and later became an asset of <a
href="/wiki/Viacom_(original)" class="mw-redirect" title="Viacom
(original)">Viacom</a> following its acquisition of Paramount in 1994.
</p><p>The name "Carowinds" was obtained from the park's original theme of the
history and culture of the <a href="/wiki/Carolinas"
title="Carolinas">Carolinas</a>, and is a <a href="/wiki/Portmanteau"
title="Portmanteau">portmanteau</a> of "Carolina" and "winds", in reference to the
winds that blow across the two states. Carowinds operates seasonally from late
March through December, after the park's <a href="/wiki/Halloween"
title="Halloween">Halloween</a> event, "SCarowinds", and the park's Christmas
event, "WinterFest."

other parks in its Paramount Parks division.
</p><p>On June 30, 2006, <a href="/wiki/Cedar_Fair_Entertainment_Company"
Entertainment Company</a> acquired Paramount Parks, including Carowinds.<sup
id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a></sup>
</p><p>Although Cedar Fair continued to use the Paramount's Carowinds name through
the remainder of the 2006 season, it began to phase out the Paramount name in press
releases, the park website, and on signage within the park. In January 2007, a new
logo featuring the Cedar Fair icon but lacking the "Paramount" name, was revealed
on the park website. The new logo featured the trademark Cedar Fair flags, flying
on the letter "I" on the Carowinds name. The other four Paramount-branded parks
that Cedar Fair acquired all received similar changes. The "Paramount" name was
dropped from all of the parks after the 2006 season.

</p><p>On August 21, 2014, Carowinds announced the addition of <a
href="/wiki/Fury_325" title="Fury 325">Fury 325</a> for the 2015 season. Designed

class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a></sup>

double-launched roller coaster manufactured by <a href="/wiki/Mack_Rides"
title="Mack Rides">Mack Rides</a>, is located in the all-new 7-acre "Blue Ridge
Junction" area, and became the park's 14th roller coaster. Blue Ridge Junction was

coaster)">Thunder Road</a>'s former station. Also included in the investment is the
130-room SpringHill Suites by Marriott, Carowinds' first on-site hotel, and Blue

class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a></sup> The retirement of
the Rip Roarin' Rapids ride was also announced, along with the closure of the
Dinosaurs Alive! attraction.
</p><p>Carowinds did not open for the 2020 season because of the <a
href="/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_the_United_States" title="COVID-19 pandemic in the
United States">COVID-19 pandemic in the United States</a>, although it is expected
to reopen for the 2021 season.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a
