Oh, and they are super crappy about bringing any snacks or drinks in! I've seen them make people throw bottles of waterway before they could enter the park...

I went to King dominion a few weeks ago, took some good light
snacks, had a grilled chicken sandwich with watermelon for lunch
and burnt 1700 calories walking!!!! per my HRM

won't you be burning calories all day!? don't worry about calories too much - avoid the cotton candy and have a great time!

If they won't let you take food and drink in (what a crap rule, never heard that before!) -
Tell them you are diabetic and need to eat small amounts at regular intervals. Or that you have a gluten intolerance or something.

Wow, I just looked up Carowinds--looks huge and fun! But they don't allow outside food or drinks. (Boo, hiss.)

As everyone else has said, just make better choices and enjoy yourself. No guilt--it's a special occasion.

Try to pay attention when you are eating, and stop if you are getting full. The portions might be big; it's ok to throw some out. (Greasy amusement park food never tastes as good as it looks anyway.)

Have fun!

we went to an amusement park recently and took a cooler with us. We packed water, baked lays and healthy deli sandwiches along with a few granola bars and rice krispy treats. We could come out to our car and eat or go into the park with it.
