| | | Whatever you do, ride Top Gun The Jetcoaster because it's a great piece of B&M work! It's also an awesome inverted coaster! |

| | | Congrats on going to Carowinds. I would sugguest riding Top Gun , of course, first (the huge B&M invert), hit that in the morning, but if u can't, ride it at lunch time. While you're over there, ride The 7th Portal(if you've never rode it), Thunder Road, the racing woodies, and then if you want to get really wet, head over to the Flying Super Saturator, the cool water coaster.(WARNING: This line is extremely long). While in the water park, walk all the way to the back and ride Pipeline Peak, 4 fast body slides.
For eating, I would suggest eating at Wings, the air-conditiond sit down resturaunt or Sharkeys in water-works(good pizza).
Then when it gets hot in the afternoon, everyone heads for the water park, and then you can head to the rest of the rides. Carolina Cyclone, Hurler, and Vortex should not be too long unless you're going on a Saturday. If so, skip Vortex and wait for Drop Zone:Stunt Tower.
Hope this helps you, and remember to write a Trip Report.

And here are my ideas of the waits through out the week:
Moday-Thursday: no more than 20 min
Friday(my favorite day to go): 30 minnutes
Saturday: You better bring some reading material, cuz you're gonna wait a loooooooooooong time
Sunday: Probably about 30 min
I always go to Carowinds on Fridays for some reason, but I went on the forbidden Saturday last time.
