Carolina Skytower

The Carolina SkyTower is one of Carowinds’ original attractions, opening on March 31, 1973 with the rest of the park. This ride is perfect for families, as it features an air-conditioned cabin that travels up a 262-foot tower. Once the cabin reaches the top, it rotates, giving guests an unobstructed panoramic view of both North and South Carolina. The entire park can be seen from the top of this ride. Off in the distance, guests will be able to see the Charlotte skyline as well as the mountains.
