Buying out an entire theme park like Carowinds for a private event is a highly specialized corporate offering, and the cost typically starts in the mid-to-high six figures ($500,000+) and can easily exceed $1,000,000 for a full-day Saturday buyout during peak season. The price is determined by the "lost revenue" the park would have generated from the general public, plus the operational costs of staffing every ride, restaurant, and security post for your private group. These events are usually reserved for massive corporations or private celebrations with thousands of guests. For 2026, Six Flags (the parent company) offers "Partial Buyouts" or "Early Park Access" as more affordable alternatives for smaller groups, starting around $50,000 to $100,000. These private events typically include catered meals, exclusive use of top-tier coasters like Fury 325, and character meet-and-greets. Because it requires closing the park to the public, these dates are often scheduled on "off-peak" Sundays or weekdays in the spring and autumn, and must be booked at least 12 to 18 months in advance.
