Description
Amusement park enthusiasts have a major reason to plan a trip to the Carolinas. Carowinds has officially announced its next signature attraction: Rip Roarin’ Falls, a massive, world-record-breaking "super flume" water ride scheduled to debut in 2027.
The new attraction blends the nostalgic charm of a classic log flume with modern engineering, high-speed coaster elements, and an immersive storyline.
Manufactured by industry leader WhiteWater, Rip Roarin’ Falls is not your average log flume. Standing as one of the tallest water rides ever engineered, the attraction will officially claim three distinct world records upon opening:
Tallest Flume Drop: A staggering 100-foot final plunge.
Tallest Reverse Drop: A backward descent dropping riders 42 feet.
Tallest Reverse Camelback: A unique 32-foot backward airtime hill.
