Is the water park and carowinds in the same them park or do you have to drive to each separately.

Is the water park entrance open yet?

I've been three times and of the two times I've been the water park has been open. You don't have to drive to it separately

As others said the water park entrance hasn't been open yet. Be prepared for a walk to the back of the back where it is.

Same. Recently the water park entrance has not been open, so you walk through the main Carowinds entrance.

Same
