CHARLOTTE, N.C. — All week long is "Mia's week of extreme stay-cation adventures" where you can get a look at some great things to do right here in our area.
Today we went to Carowinds to try out all of the exciting rides they have to offer. Mia got to ride most of the big rides in the park, and even rode the Ripcord! On the Ripcord you get strapped into the harness a lift cable lifts you to a peak of 150 feet above the ground. At the top, the rider operator will instruct you to pull the cord. The second you rip the cord, gravity kicks in, and you free fall at speeds up to 65 miles per hour down. You then swing back and forth until the ride is over.
The Carowinds Stateline celebration is this Saturday April 9th! Find more information online at Carowinds.com.
