CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Atlantic Ocean isn't the only aquatic getaway that North and
South Carolina share. Carolina
Harbor Waterpark is nestled right between the two states at
Carowinds. Opening for the season on Saturday, May 20, the waterpark boasts 27-acres
of splash adventures including a six-story water slide, two wave
pools and a two-acre family area guaranteed to cool guests off in
the summer heat.
Nominated as one of USA
Today's Top 10 Best Outdoor Water Parks in the US, Carolina
Harbor has attractions for every water lover. Guests can spend the
day enjoying thrilling water attractions, mouth-watering food or
simply basking in the Carolina sun.
Thrillseekers can check out Blackbeard's Revenge, our
flagship six-story waterslide complex. "If you've got a need for
speed, we invite you to brave the tubes, chutes, twists and turns
of this ride," says General Manager, Pat
Jones. "The three attractions on Blackbeard's
Revenge—Pirate's Plank, Captain's Curse and Cannonball Drop—offer
three different experiences to get your adrenaline going and keep
you coming back for more."
If that's too fast and furious, surfers can ride the gnarly
six-foot waves at Surf Club Harbor, our 27,000 square-foot
wave pool. While the older kids can enjoy the rockin' waves,
beginner swimmers can get their feet wet at the water geysers on
the shore of the wave pool.
Far from the seas of the wave pools, children can play at
Kiddy Hawk Cove and Myrtle Turtle Beach, two-acres of
fun made just for the little ones. With plenty of interactive play
areas and water features, parents and kids alike will be all
smiles.
After working up an appetite, visit Harbor
House restaurant for some Carolina barbecue or seafood.
Park goers can dine outdoors on the 2,400 square foot patio. There
are plenty of food and drink options, including adult beverages at
Schooners Beach Bar.
Weary sailors can drop anchor at one of the thousands of
available lounge chairs or upgrade to a private cabana, the perfect
venue for a private family beach party!
