Last year, we went several times a month. Since we live less than 2 miles from the entrance, we would go oftentimes late in the day or on the weekend for just a few hours. This year, I doubt we will go at all since the prices are so high. It's pretty ridiculous.

I dont get it ...if you go several times a month , what is 20 more dollars for the year??? I could see if you go once or twice a year, but.....no logic
Although, I think it is ridiculously expensive! Dont get me wrong. Its a shame how things are now...companies see a good thing and just don't care how much they take advantage..its the way the world is now, lets face it.
I just wonder if they are going to ruin carowinds. Personally I don't have $300 to drop on passes, that's why I was looking for a deal. My other gripe is how little the staff does there and everything is so expensive. Pure profit? Possibly.
Last summer if you went 5 times you could earn a free ticket to bring a friend and they had free bring a friend days. Now, you have to pay $14.95 to bring a friend and there is a service fee for using their website.

What you're forgetting is that for every time we go, it is $10 to park since you can't get the parking pass with the season pass now. So the "logic" is that it's not just an additional $20.00. Plus, the ticket price alone is $20 extra PER PERSON. If I could have gotten the passes at the $49.99 per person WITH the free parking, we might have "swung" that. So we're NOT going several times a month this year... very likely we will just pass altogether on Carowinds until we see what the season passes are for next year.
I didn't know about that. Parking is $10 a pop, way too expensive, I need my $5 cokes with that money. What do they think it's disney land.
I also cannot beleive how the circus and stuff can charge to park too, a $10 school ticket turns in to $20 because you have to pay to park. Maybe we do need a light rail.
Let me also add that there IS a "season Parking pass" for $30.00.... So a family of five can enjoy Carowinds all season for only $380 plus tax!! What a steal!! LOL
Maybe that's not too high for some folks, but its just too much for us when we go 2-3 hours at a time a few times a month. More power to anyone who wants to go--- If I had an extra 400 bucks, I'd probably buy the tickets anyway.
