News Project 2027/Otter: "Record-Breaking Water Ride"

[Mojosdad]

Just noticed today that the closed ride link on the website has now been removed. Also, two weeks from openings and no entertainment listed. Also out of the 25 six flags parks only three are showing new attractions for 2026 and the Kansas park is advertising Texas new coaster. Noticed the closed ride link is missing from KI as well.

What does this have to do with the 2027 project?

Here we go!!!



Hopefully we see some equipment on site by opening day.

My eyes may have deceived me on my commute this morning, but I may have seen some sort of construction equipment up against Fury325. The webcam doesn't display anything, so I'm not certain. It wasn't very tall so it could be out of view, if such equipment exists.

I would hate to think they cleared and graded all that land by Fury for nothing. Originally was going to be a record breaking flume ride, but is it possible plans have changed to a different attraction?

I did not see the construction equipment on my commute Friday, so it may have been something being done in the area separate from park ops. Hoping something does show up soon, though. I've seen some construction equipment entering / leaving the site on the webcams.

When they announce this thing they ought to point that webcam down a bit!

How did you read the thread and come to this conclusion? I'm always on the lookout for alterations to the plans, and there are none currently.

Could it be we are getting our own Twisted Timbers?

Thematically? The teasers definitely feel inline with the likes of Twisted and Mystic Timbers. Could be cool to give Carowinds something in that same "mysterious, inexplicable occurrence in working class, blue collar America," line. The interconnected "Cedar Fair Cinematic Universe" lore was always sick. Would love to see it continue under Six Flags.

Also earlier this week Hurler is listed as closed for the early season…

 

[Zachary]

All signs on the public record still point to the flume ride so I think that's the only reasonable thing to anticipate right now attraction hardware-wise.

Ayy, just saying—I’d imagine some folks in Six Flags corporate are coaster enthusiasts, and I don’t think they’d mind if an RMC was in their backyard

Park opened at 4 with a light crowd but picking up and the evening is progressing.

Maybe as a 2028 addition with a retheming of Thrill Zone not being used for "Otter" to go along with it and incorporating Fury into the theme

6 pm q&a had no q’s and vey little a’s. Told us about up charge additions added last year and that’s about it

Really hoping we see some animatronics and nice wildlife theming.

As for the rest of the Q&A... It was an embarrassing display of park management incompetence. Referring to 2025 experiences as "products" they want to see more returns on.

I did see that there seems to have been some new activity on the old rapids site.

I saw this photo posted on Carowinds Fans Only and didn't think much of it, but it does appear that dirt has been moving and the excavation of the pits for the flume layout has begun.
