Carolina Sky Tower

The go to "I need to take a break from the heat" ride. At 262ft tall it's no longer the biggest thing in Carowinds (looking at you Fury 325), but it still offers a great view of the park and its the only ride that does so at a relaxing pace. The rotating, air conditioned viewing deck holds about 30 people or so with one continuous bench seat all the way around. The ride is only a few minutes long but both the climb up and descent down are done at a slow relaxing pace. At it's peak you see the park from an angle you only get on this ride, and off in the distance you get a wonderful view of the Uptown Charlotte skyline. If the line isn't long and you want a bit of a rest, give the Sky Tower a spin.
