Although school is back in session, Carowinds still offers a limited opening schedule in September. Those who are looking for shorter lines and (hopefully!) cooler weather might enjoy visiting Carowinds in September. As people return to school, the crowds at Carowinds may be lower with shorter wait times for the rides.

The water park inside of Carowinds called Boomerang Bay is closed in September, but you might be able to catch a few wet rides outside of Boomerang Bay, such as Rip Roarin' Rapids or Whitewater Falls. Some rides may not run due to weather conditions, maintenance, etc. on any given date.

As the temperatures rise, many people are looking for ways to cool off while still enjoying the great outdoors. Perhaps a thrilling ride on the Intimidator or a dip in a huge wave pool might be just right for cooling off in North and South Carolina. Carowinds has roller coasters, a water park, and perhaps a few air conditioned shows to beat the summer heat.

July 2014 hours for Carowinds and Boomerang Bay (the water park inside of Carowinds) are short and sweet. I made easy-to-read charts for each month they are open, and information is correct per information on the Carowinds web site on the date this article was published. This is the only month in which all operating dates are the same. Note that some land and water rides may close due to weather conditions, maintenance issues, etc.

Carowinds

Open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

All dates in July
