Carowinds is doubling down on family fun in 2025 with a massive expansion of Camp Snoopy, marking the largest investment in family attractions in the park’s history. Located right on the North Carolina–South Carolina border, the beloved Peanuts-themed area is being reimagined into a full summer camp experience, complete with brand-new rides, interactive play zones, and unforgettable character encounters.
A Thrilling Start: Snoopy’s Racing Railway
Leading the charge is Snoopy’s Racing Railway, a family-friendly steel launch coaster that whisks riders off on a root beer and pizza delivery mission through Camp Snoopy. Launched just last month, this zippy coaster accelerates from 0 to 31 mph, taking guests on two thrilling laps filled with sharp turns and wild fun. It’s the perfect first coaster for young thrill-seekers and a nostalgic joyride for parents.
Making a Splash: Charlie Brown’s River Raft Blast
Still putting on the final touches, Charlie Brown’s River Raft Blast is almost ready to open. This eight-seater interactive raft ride sends families floating through Snoopy’s swimming hole on a mission to drench—and be drenched. With on-board and shoreline water cannons, it’s a free-for-all splash battle as guests encounter the Peanuts gang in full summer mode. Expect laughter, squeals, and soaked campers all around.
Cool Additions: Splash Zones and Shady Spots
For those looking to chill out rather than max out, Camp Snoopy will debut brand-new splash play zones. Featuring shaded seating areas and interactive water features, these additions offer a perfect break from the action. Whether it’s a quick cooldown or an all-out water fight, these zones are set to become a popular hangout for families looking to beat the Carolina heat.
Say Cheese: Meet the Peanuts Gang
Inside the newly renovated Camp Store, guests can meet their favorite Peanuts characters in an immersive, air-conditioned environment styled like a rustic summer lodge. With log benches and a cozy faux firepit, this meet-and-greet spot doubles as the ultimate photo op and a quiet place to relax with the kids.
Final Thoughts
Carowinds’ bold refresh of Camp Snoopy isn’t just about adding rides—it’s about crafting shared moments, laughs, and memories that last a lifetime. From the adrenaline of Snoopy’s Racing Railway to the silliness of River Raft Blast, every inch of this reimagined space is designed for families to enjoy together. As Charlie Brown might say—good grief, this is going to be fun.
