For the 2025 season, Carowinds (Charlotte, North Carolina) will introduce two new attractions in its Camp Snoopy section — a new family launch roller coaster and an interactive raft ride. The former will be called Snoopy's Racing Railway, a 245m Family Launch Coaster by ART Engineering GmbH. Like the identically named coaster that debuted in 2024 at Canada’s Wonderland (Vaughan, Ontario), it will propel riders to 31 mph in seconds, allowing them to experience exciting dips and wild turns as they race through the course twice.

It will be joined by Charlie Brown's River Raft Blast, where families will board 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. The two will be supplemented by splash play zones and a Camp Store Meet-and-Greet Experience, which will allow guests to meet Peanuts costumed characters at an enhanced interactive area complete with rustic log benches around a cozy firepit.
