CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Carowinds has set a world record for the most people dyeing eggs.
Guinness World Records said in a news release on its website that 317 people dipped and dyed eggs Saturday at the amusement park that straddles the North Carolina-South Carolina state line near Charlotte.
Guinness says the category is a new one, but it had set guidelines that required each participant to have at least one hard-boiled egg, a spoon and enough dye to submerge the egg. Guinness also had set a minimum of 250 people to consider the park's Easter Egg-stravaganza for the record.
All eggs were colored and shown to a Guinness official for approval.
