Fully hand-made recreation of Carowinds, a major amusement park located near Charlotte, NC. Features detailed modeling, custom lighting, and extensive vegetation/terraforming work.
Carowinds is a 407-acre theme park located near Charlotte, North Carolina. The park straddles the border between South and North Carolina, hence their slogan "Where The Carolinas Come Together." Carowinds originally was opened in 1973; before its current ownership by Cedar Fair, it was operated by Taft Broadcasting and later by Paramount Pictures.
By far the largest amusement park in either of the Carolinas, Carowinds sports an impressive lineup of roller coasters, thrill rides, and water slides; the most famous of these is almost certainly the 325-foot-tall Fury 325, which is the tallest non-launched roller coaster in the world and consistently ranks as one of the top 5 coasters worldwide. That ride, and the entire park, are prominent visual landmarks on northbound approaches to Charlotte Douglas International Airport, which lies about 6 nm due north.

As for race tracks and the like, they're not my main focus at the moment (still mostly looking at bridges and amusement parks) but something I do occasionally toss around when I'm thinking of what to work on next. Charlotte would definitely be on the short list if I do try my hand at one, but I can't make any promises when that might be.

As a poster here wrote, i would also appreciate you would do some Racetracks, Raceways, Speedways around the globe. So many of them are missing in a good scenery.
Best regards dear @TheWhiteArcades! Henry.
