From Arthur Levine, your Guide to Theme Parks
Carowinds won't open until April 2, but you can take a tour with my updated photo gallery of the Charlotte, North Carolina theme park and water park.

Ride Like the Winds
Carowinds is jam-packed with roller coasters, including Intimidator, the wonderful hypercoaster that opened last season. Shake off the end-of-winter blahs with a sneak peek of the fun that is just around the corner in the Carowinds photo gallery.

Readers' Choice Awards
And the winner is.... You'll have to wait until next week. Voting ended on Tuesday, March 8, and the winners will be announced on Tuesday, March 15 at the Theme Parks site (and in next week's newsletter). It's been a spirited competition with a few particularly close races. Thanks to everyone who voted and supported the first-ever awards at the Theme Parks site.

Let the 2011 Park Season Begin
After an absolutely miserable winter here in New England, spring cannot come too soon. (Hmm. Perhaps I say that every year. But trust me, THIS winter was really miserable.) That's why it's heartening to share the good news that some seasonal parks have already opened for the season.

Who Will Get to Spin the Big Wheel in Vegas?
Lots of famous destinations offer huge Ferris wheels, including Niagara Falls, Coney Island, and Chicago's Navy Pier. Perhaps none is more iconic than the London Eye. Oddly, Las Vegas, a famous destination with no shortage of eye-catching, oversized icons crowding its overstuffed skyline, has no wheel. Soon it may have two.
