F-U-N! The 100-acre park offers all the usual amusement park adventures, including Ferris wheels, roller coasters, special effects shows, and a water park. The Afterburn roller coaster gives riders the impression of actually flying a fighter jet. For cooling down, check out the attached Boomerang Bay waterpark. The park straddles the NC-SC border, just 15 minutes south of Uptown Charlotte and 12 miles north of Rock Hill, SC.   (© 10Best)
