Carowinds released a series of proactive social media posts, blog entries, and videos promoting safety at the theme park straddling the North Carolina and South Carolina border. The guest-facing content transparently shares Carowinds’ commitment to safety. Topics include ride manufacturers, annual licensing by state agencies, daily mechanical inspections, unexpected ride stoppages, and
the use of drones in inspections.
“Using the drones gives us a way to do more inspections,” explains Steve Jackson, director of maintenance and construction at Carowinds in a video. “We have our own drone now, so we can fly our own sorties. It gives us the ability to do it now versus having to call somebody in—a contractor—to do the work for us.”
