Carolina Sternwheeler was a Boat Ride that previously operated at Paramount's Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.

History

Carolina Sternwheeler opened with the park in 1973.[1]

In 2003, the park offered a Nicktoons Meet and Greet Cruise on the boat.[2]

Upon the announcement of BORG Assimilator in August 2003, the park initially said that they were uncertain what was to become of the riverboat.[3] The boat was reportedly damaged shortly thereafter and was subsequently demolished.[4] The ride's track remained in place.

When Nighthawk was demolished in early 2025, parts of Carolina Sternwheeler's track were visible.[5]
