Carowinds' Historic Investment Includes Two
Major New Family Attractions
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Carowinds' Camp Snoopy will unveil two new
family-friendly attractions in 2025 as part of the largest
investment in family attractions in the park's history: a new
family launch roller coaster and an interactive raft ride. These
additions, alongside splash play zones and a meet-and-greet
experience with Peanuts™ costume characters, offer more spots for
families to cool off and new character experiences. The new
attractions promise endless adventured fun for guests of all ages,
making Camp Snoopy a must-visit destination for family fun in
2025.
New Attractions:
- Snoopy's Racing Railway: Guests can 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. This family-friendly steel launch coaster accelerates from
0 to 31 mph in seconds, providing an exhilarating adventure for all
ages. Riders will experience exciting dips and wild turns, ensuring
the delivery arrives safely and on time. Riders get double the fun
as they race through the course twice.
- Charlie Brown's River Raft
Blast: Families can hop aboard an eight-seater boat at Snoopy's
swimming hole for a splish-splash adventure with family and
friends. Equipped with on-board and onshore water cannons, riders
can engage in friendly water skirmishes with other boats, spraying
each other as they navigate the river channel. With their trusty
water cannon mounted on the side, they can join in the excitement
with other campers. Throughout their journey, riders will encounter
their favorite Peanuts characters swimming, floating, and
splashing—all eager to drench them in fun!
"We're excited to introduce the latest adventures in Camp Snoopy
in 2025," Manny Gonzalez, vice
president and general manager for Carowinds, said. "Our re-imagined
Camp Snoopy will allow families to ride and play together,
immersing them in a summer camp experience with the Peanuts gang.
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."
New Enhancements:
- Splash Play Zones: Families can beat the heat in Camp
Snoopy's brand-new splash play zone areas. Featuring enhanced shade
and refreshing water features, these areas are designed to ensure
everyone stays cool and has fun. The ample shade and water make it
the perfect relaxing spot on a hot Carolina summer day.
- Camp Store Meet-and-Greet Experience: Guests can enter
the newly remodeled Camp Store to meet Peanuts costume characters
at their interactive, camp-themed meet-and-greet area. Complete
with rustic log benches around a cozy firepit, this air-conditioned
environment offers ideal photo opportunities and memorable
interactions with favorite characters.
Unlimited Family Fun:
Unlimited access and visits to
Camp Snoopy for the rest of 2024 and all of 2025 are available with
a 2025 Gold Season Pass, now on sale at the lowest price of the
season. A Gold Season Pass includes unlimited visits to Carowinds
