BE THE FIRST TO RIDE THE COUNTRY’S HOTTEST NEW THRILL RIDE – INTIMIDATOR!
The most anticipated new thrill ride in the country, Intimidator™, opens to the public on Saturday, March 27, 2010. As a kick-off to the tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster in the Southeast, Carowinds is partnering with the Dale Earnhardt Foundation to host a charity auction for the first rides on this spectacular $23 million steel roller coaster, inspired by racing legend Dale Earnhardt.

The mission of the Dale Earnhardt Foundation is to “Continue The Legend™” and legacy of Dale Earnhardt through charitable programs and grants that sustain his lifelong commitment to Children, Education and Environmental/Wildlife Preservation. One hundred percent of the proceeds raised from the first ride auction will go directly to the Dale Earnhardt Foundation to benefit key organizations in the community that focus on children and education, such as JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Central & Western North Carolina, and the American Red Cross. The funds raised will also benefit charitable programs headed by the Dale Earnhardt Foundation.

For more information and to participate in the Intimidator™ First Rider Charity Auction visit www.intimidator.carowinds.com. The bidding will begin at $50 per seat from the first three trains to leave the station on March 27, opening day.
