Carowinds under construction: See work on 3 new attractions
As Carowinds prepares to reopen on March 15, construction is ramping up in parts of the park for two new family rides and a much-anticipated adults-only swim-up bar. Why it matters: Carowinds expects the new 21-and-up zone, Carolina Shore Club, to add value to the season pass and diversify activities at the park. State of the play: The latest investments come after Ohio-based Cedar Fair and Texas-based Six Flags merged last year and relocated the combined company to Charlotte. What's next: All the new attractions are expected to open around Memorial Day weekend, barring weather delays. See the work so far: Carolina Shore Club Construction on Carolina Shore Club and Paul Metto's Dockside Bar inside the waterpark began a few months ago. The 27,280-square-foot area includes: A 3,577-square-foot pool. 58 shaded chaise lounge chairs. Six luxury cabanas with a TV, mini-fridge and dedicated service — two of which are "premium." A lawn area with games like cornhole and giant Jenga. Renderings: Carowinds will open 21 and up waterpark area with swim-up bar Charlie Brown's River Raft Blast Carowinds is investing in its family-friendly Camp Snoopy area.

Snoopy's Racing Railway, which launches to 31 miles per hour, is described as a ride with "thrilling dips and exciting wild turns."
