Southern Star

Description

Southern Star at Carowinds is a classic thrill ride that flips the traditional pirate ship concept on its head. Boarding a large swinging vessel, you slowly build higher and higher arcs before the ship begins to rotate a full 360 degrees, turning riders completely upside down. The experience combines strong sensations of weightlessness with dramatic views of the park as the ship pauses briefly at the top. With its nostalgic midway feel, loud ride soundtrack, and plenty of screams and laughter, this attraction is a great choice for guests who enjoy bold, looping motion.
