04 · The parks

What each one is.

Carowinds

Carowinds sits directly on the North Carolina / South Carolina state line in Charlotte and is best known for Fury 325 - one of the world's tallest and fastest full-circuit roller coasters at 325 feet. The rest of the line-up is strong too: Copperhead Strike, Intimidator, Afterburn inverted coaster, and the newer Top Gun: The Jet Coaster. A separate Carolina Harbor water park operates in the summer.

Carowinds' peak crowds come during US summer school holidays, Scarowinds (Halloween), and Charlotte-area weekend visits. Weekdays in May, September and October are much quieter. Check live queue times for Fury 325 and Copperhead Strike first thing on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a lower-crowd midweek date for shorter waits across the coaster line-up.

Peppa Pig Theme Park Florida

Peppa Pig Theme Park Florida opened in 2022 next to LEGOLAND Florida in Winter Haven. It's the first standalone Peppa Pig theme park in the world and is aimed squarely at preschoolers - all rides have low or no height restrictions, and Peppa, George and family appear throughout the day. Highlights include Daddy Pig's Roller Coaster, Mr. Bull's High Striker, and Peppa's Pedal Bike Tour.

Because the park is small and preschool-focused, queue times stay manageable outside peak Florida school breaks. Spring break and Christmas week push waits up noticeably. Check live wait times before queueing and use our crowd calendar to pick a quieter weekday if you can - midweek mornings feel almost empty.
