Carowinds in 2020 did not open for normal operation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it did reopen later that year for a limited-time holiday event from November 21 through December 20 with limited rides and new safety measures in place. For 2025, Carowinds season typically begins around spring, though the exact opening date in 2020 was initially March 21, with normal operations canceled after that due to COVID-19. If the question is about the 2020 opening, Carowinds originally planned to open on March 21, 2020, but only operated in a limited holiday capacity later that year starting November 21. Regular operations for 2020 did not happen.
