My complaint about Carowinds not having a log flume or a rapids ride as
a few days before our visit Carowinds announced the addition of Rip
Roarin' Falls.
Rip Roarin' Falls is going to be a log flume which is much needed at
Carowinds. It will be the tallest log flume in the world with a
hundred foot plunge into the water. This is absolutely a great
addition to Carowinds.
After finishing up our day by lapping Fury 325 as much as we could we
stopped by the Grand Carousel.
The Grand Carousel is a classic hand carved carousel that was built by
the Philadelphia Toboggan Company in 1923.
With one last on the Grand Carousel our adventure to Carowinds came to
an end. Carowinds is a fun park with some great rides.
