A planned water ride that promises multiple world records is already making waves among theme park fans.
Carowinds announced that Rip Roarin' Falls will open in 2027 - replacing Rip Roarin' Rapids, a longtime water attraction that closed in 2019.
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.

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.
Riders will board eight-person boats and travel through a themed abandoned lumber mill setting before encountering multiple drops and direction changes.
One of the ride's most notable features will send passengers backward down a 42-foot drop before they climb toward the attraction's final plunge.
The experience will cover more than 2,240 feet of water track - with the ride reaching speeds of up to 50 mph, according to the park.

Carowinds said the attraction will include two high-speed reversing switches that send riders both forward and backward during the journey.
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.
Park officials said the attraction was designed to appeal to a wide range of guests - with a minimum height requirement of 35 inches for younger riders accompanied by an adult, and 41 inches for riders visiting on their own.
