A planned water ride that promises multiple world records<\/a> is already making waves among theme park fans.<\/p>\n

Carowinds announced that Rip Roarin’ Falls will open in 2027 \u2014 replacing Rip Roarin’ Rapids, a longtime water attraction that closed<\/a> in 2019.<\/p>\n

The new ride will feature a 100-foot drop, making it the tallest drop on a water ride or log flume, according to the park, which is located in Charlotte on the North Carolina-South Carolina border.<\/p>\n

The attraction is also expected to include what Carowinds describes as the tallest reverse drop and tallest reverse camelback drop on a water ride or flume.<\/p>\n

Riders will board eight-person boats and travel through a themed abandoned lumber mill setting before encountering multiple drops and direction changes.<\/p>\n

One of the ride’s most notable features will send passengers backward down a 42-foot drop<\/a> before they climb toward the attraction’s final plunge.<\/p>\n

The experience will cover more than 2,240 feet of water track \u2014 with the ride reaching speeds of up to 50 mph, according to the park.<\/p>\n

Carowinds said the attraction will include two high-speed reversing switches that send riders both forward and backward during the journey.<\/p>\n

The ride’s backstory centers on a long-abandoned logging operation in the Carolina woods, where local legends suggest mysterious activity continues long after the mill ceased operations.<\/p>\n

Park officials said the attraction was designed to appeal to a wide range of guests \u2014 with a minimum height requirement of 35 inches for younger riders accompanied by an adult, and 41 inches for riders visiting on their own.<\/p>\n

The news of the attraction quickly drew attention online, particularly among roller coaster and water ride<\/a> enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

“This looks phenomenal,” one Reddit user wrote. “Carowinds was in dire need of a water ride, [so] this will be excellent for them.”<\/p>\n

Others were intrigued by the ride’s unusual elements.<\/p>\n

“A backward drop with a camelback halfway through on a log flume is going to be a crazy sensation,” another commenter wrote.<\/p>\n

Some fans suggested the attraction alone could be worth a trip to the park.<\/p>\n

“Live in Canada,<\/a> but might have to travel for this,” one user wrote. “I really like water rides lol.”<\/p>\n

Not everyone was completely sold on the concept.<\/p>\n

Rip Roarin’ Falls is scheduled to open during the 2027 season.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Carowinds for comment and more information.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
