Carowinds Offers Buy Now, Pay Later On 2010 Season Passes

Carowinds, the 122-acre combination amusement and water park located on the border of the Carolinas near Charlotte, has announced the tail-end of its 2010 Season Pass "Buy Now, Pay Later" program to help families on a tight budget still enjoy a summer of fun and excitement for less without paying until March 1, 2010.

The Season Pass "Buy Now, Pay Later" program was designed by Carowinds as a response to park patrons who are more budget-conscious due to the current economic environment. The holidays may be over, but the Park's "Buy Now, Pay Later" program is sure to make it feel like Christmas all over again. Now until January 17, a 2010 Season Pass may be purchased without payment up front, and no payment until March 1, 2010.
