News Carowinds Project 2025/Sparrow: Camp Snoopy Expansion & New Coaster

[AutumnWox]

I have the plans for project sparrow, please see the attached. Looks like a new family coaster "Racin' Railway", splash battle, and new train ride.

It also looks like they're adding on to the Camp Snoopy gift shop for a dedicated meet & greet area.

It's interesting they're hardly using ANY of the former Dinosaurs Alive plot.

WOAH? A splash battle? About TIME they got a water ride, bravo.

Great find! I believe we're looking at an ART Engineering coaster here for the "Racin Railway" ride, the same model Canada's Wonderland just installed.

The building angles line up pretty identically (satellite image is of the original model in Austria):

If I were betting, the splash battle is a Zamperla Water Fight.

 

[Coasternerd]

The most surprising part is the fact it’s a splash battle.

It's weird they won't touch that space. Or the Rapids ride, too.

Ha! Did you FOIA the docs @AutumnWox? Looks like York County, SC fulfilled our FOIAs at the same time.

Lol! Yeah, I submitted an FOIA a little over two weeks ago. They took forever on this one.

Great find! This is definitely an upgrade from the little train that was previously on that space, and the splash battle will be a hit in the summer. Still have two great plots of land for new additions in the future with Dino's alive and the Rapids Ride.

I guess they have found out that having a good kids area will bring in the adults. I know that when my kids were young, we did the Pre-K pass for them and had to buy season passes for me and my wife. That was around the time of the original Camp Snoopy remodel.

Was kinda hoping that was family boomerang so Carowinds could have their new 5th best roller coaster.....uh I mean oh yay! A necessary investment *spiel about how it's good for the park here.*

 

[Coasternerd]

Well that sounds like a broken record at this point. Anyways, I’m definitely excited for the splash battle. I’ve never done one, so I am interested in the experience.

I'm happy it's not a family boomerang. As good as those rides are, it's nice that Carowinds is getting another launch coaster.

 

[Coasterguy95]

I understand it’s not necessary on most kiddie coasters, and this is more of an unrelated thing, I wish more kiddie coasters, and newer coasters in general had a greater focus on capacity. The era of capacity monsters should come back. That’s my worry with this and snoopys soapbox racers

 

[AutumnWox]

I think given the selection of kiddie/family coasters at Carowinds at this point, it should be fine. A big bear mountain level coaster would've been awesome, though.

 

[Crunchewy]

I'd ride that. Looks fun. 4 times around is pretty cool. I suppose they could reduce that if they need more capacity, though.
