The park is located on the border of North and South Carolina, with a portion of the park also located in Fort Mill, South Carolina. The park opened on March 31, 1973, at a cost of $70 million.

Owned and operated by Cedar Fair, Carowinds also features a 27-acre (81,000 m2) water park, Carolina Harbor, which is included with park admission.
