June, July, August and October — the summer holiday and Scarowinds weekends.
Quietest months
April, May and September — April and May weekdays and September weekdays.
Local knowledge: Fury 325 has excellent throughput for its popularity — the posted wait usually overstates the real one by a good margin.
How this is worked out
Each day starts from how that weekday normally runs at Carowinds, learned from our own recorded wait snapshots as they accumulate, and is raised for public holidays and school-holiday periods. It is a forecast of relative busyness, not a promise: a 3 means a day that usually runs quiet for this park, not a guarantee of short lines. The further out a date sits, the more it leans on the weekday pattern alone.
