It has long been rumored that Carowinds would install multiple classic flat rides for the 2017 season. A few weeks ago, the park began a teaser campaign revolving around the park mayor’s re-election campaign. In the campaign he promised a big year and teased the installation of “four more” rides. Today, we got the details on these rides in addition to a special new event!

Next year, the County Fair section of Carowinds will receive a major overhaul with the addition of four new flat rides and general improvements. The new rides will give the area a classic feel and improvements to things such as dining will make it feel brand new!

The four flat rides being installed are Electro-Spin, which is a Mondial Top Scan, the Zephyr, which is a chairswing ride, the Rock ‘n’ Roller, which is a Music Express flat ride, and the Do-Si-Do, which is a Troika. In addition to these new flat rides, the park’s Vekoma Boomerang, the Carolina Cobra, is going to receive a new paint scheme and name. The newly blue and white ride will be called The Flying Cobras.
