Carowinds will expand its Camp Snoopy kids' land with two new attractions for the 2025 season.
Joining the line-up in the "Peanuts"-themed land will be a new roller coaster and water ride. Snoopy's Racing Railway will be another installation of the ART Engineering family launch coaster that first opened at sister park Canada's Wonderland last year.
"Join Snoopy as he races to deliver root beer and pizza to Camp Snoopy's Mess Hall, where Woodstock and his yellow bird buddies are causing quite a ruckus," the park said of its coaster, which will feature a 0-to-31 mph launch.
Charlie Brown's River Raft Blast will be a Splash Battle ride.
The park also will be adding new splash play zones and Camp Store character meet-and-greet to its Camp Snoopy in 2025.
"Our re-imagined Camp Snoopy will allow families to ride and play together, immersing them in a summer camp experience with the Peanuts gang," Carowinds Vice President and General Manager Manny Gonzalez said. "From the thrilling twists of Snoopy's Racing Railway to the splashes at Charlie Brown's River Raft Blast, our focus is on family fun. These new features will transform Camp Snoopy into more than just a place to play and cool off; it will become a destination for creating family memories."
This announcement suggests that the new Six Flags will not be backing away immediately from the Peanuts license that the former Cedar Fair theme parks brought to the company. The children's lands at the legacy Six Flags have been licensed from Warner Bros. Discovery's Looney Tunes.

Lots of big announcements for legacy Cedar Fair parks with Rapterra at KD, removal of Snake River Falls at Cedar Point (and presumably something big filling in that space for 2026), AlpenFury at Canada's Wonderland, and now this.
These are 2 really solid additions for a kids land that was lacking those mid-sized attractions to bridge the gap between the kiddie rides and the big coasters at Carowinds. I think this is a niche more parks need to address in their attraction lineups. Mack Splash Battles can be hit or miss with some parks (like Dollywood) completely abandoning them because of their high maintenance and limited appeal during cooler months. However, I've always thought that they're a lot of fun if they're well themed and give guests more to do than just shoot at people walking by or guests on nearby boats. The one we rode at Europa Park (Whale Adventure) had just a single spot to shoot at other boats with plenty of targets to aim at that triggered various effects along the course. Hopefully Carowinds will go the extra mile with the theming on this attraction to make it a fun and interesting ride instead of just a reason to get wet.
