Carowinds Debuts New Family Launch Coaster

‘Snoopy’s Racing Railway’ Brings More Family Fun to Camp Snoopy

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – June 2, 2025 – A new family launch coaster is now open at Carowinds' Camp Snoopy. Snoopy's Racing Railway takes riders through giggle-inducing twists and turns while launching them from zero to 31 mph in a matter of seconds. Riders complete two laps on its 804 feet of steel track. With a height requirement of just 36 inches, it's the perfect attraction for even the youngest thrill seekers.

"From the rider experience to the imaginative theming, Snoopy's Racing Railway showcases our commitment to bringing world-class family entertainment to the Carolinas," said Brian Oerding, park manager. "Guest feedback has been extremely positive, and as one of our new flagship attractions in Camp Snoopy, we're sure it will provide fun-filled adventures for generations of park guests."
