Neither the Triangle nor the Triad in North Carolina, each with more than a million residents, have a major amusement park. Greensboro in the Triad has a big water park, though, and both metros are fairly convenient to Carowinds down in Charlotte. The cities of the Triangle, particularly Raleigh, are also only about three hours away from Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA.

"To sustain the life of a large, modern city in this cloying, clinging heat is an amazing achievement. It is no wonder that the white men and women in Greenville walk with a slow, dragging pride, as if they had taken up a challenge and intended to defy it without end." -- Rebecca West for The New Yorker, 1947
