So funny cause their coaster leaked already and it’s a Intamin family multi launch in their old DejaVu plot. Well theirs was called Goliath

Another funny coincidence is how when our Mack Splash Battle got destroyed, another was added. (Charlie Brown’s River Raft Blast at Carowinds)

It's possible it could be Battle's remnants. Lets not forget the track was removed prior to the demolition. They might have sold it to Carowinds prior to the merger.

Little bit of a stretch, but you never know.

Otherwise the track is sitting in a bonyard somewhere waiting to be sold or reinstalled at SFGAm's dumping ground - SF America.

Looking at the concept art and looking back at videos of Buccaneer Battle, I’d say they’re the same ride.

On the topic of Carowinds’ new rides, does anybody else think that we could see a much grander coaster, akin to Primordial or Wicked open at a Six Flags park now that Six Flags seems to be working with ART Engineering?

Of course. I wouldn't say it's impossible. CW has two coasters from them. Their family launch model is quite impressive for the little ones. Could see that at multiple six flags parks.

It was brought up recently but I could see a family/kiddie coaster coming to Kidzopolis in the Krazy Kars plot. That area needs to be redone to "Looney Carnival" or something to fit the County Fair theme & desperately give it a facelift.

Kidzopolis desperately needs expansion/overhaul.

I for one full support Eagle's queue being re-routed (again) so that the kidz stage and used food stall could be removed and then expanded out to the service road.

Bug Bunny Boom Town, please?

It shouldn't be too difficult to re-theme the existing rides.

Man, Canada's wonderland addition has me wanting something similar. Looks like an incredible addition for them. Hoping ours is just as good :)

The characters in the eyes put together is“Rakshasa” in the Hindi language, which I would assume confirms that this is the name of the ride.

LOL by the looks of it Carowinds is getting an ‘interactive’ water ride that looks a hell of a lot like Buccaneer Battle. At least it looks like it’s going into their kids section though. Either way, funny to see them add something similar

It's not just similar, it's literally the same ride. The big difference here is that it's being installed in a spot that makes sense. :lol:

This will be our 16th coaster, 17 if you count AE twice….Truly Exciting!! That’s the same as Cedar Point!!

I’m also glad this isn’t going to be a DC named coaster and it looks to be new theming the chain hasn’t used at another park before!!

I’m still thinking it’s between a B&M Dive and Vekoma Tilt.

Wouldn’t that be funny if the huge shipment that came from B&M at the beginning of the year were the trains for this and they’ve just been sitting f in the backlot this whole time.

Are you joking about it being the SAME ride or serious? So Carowinds is getting our old Suckaneer Battle?

Not the same as in a relocation, the same as in make/model. (although it would be hysterical if it was a relocation)

Bucky was a mack rides, so is Carowinds 2025 addition.

The one they gave to the junkies wasn’t put up anywhere in the park for the GP

That one was: BREAK

With all of these teasers and hints my final guess is that it’s a B&M dive machine with seven (SEVEN) seating arrangement in each row, 95 degree drop, or 5 inversions (FIVE). Maybe the BREAK refers to the most inversions on a dive or the tallest drop (DROP) on a dive coaster.

200ft Dive with a 225ft drop
5 inversions
The lift hill will face Grand music Hall. Once at the top you will turn left and move up slightly and be held for the drop. The drop will go under the midway into a giant immelman in the bloodshed plot of land and head back over the midway into the Bucy site.

Yeah I think they’ll be some sort of world record here. Most occasions we do see some sort of record broke. I also agree on the 5 inversions. I do however hope it’s still not a dive coaster LoL

Agreed 100! I hope 2026 is the year they fix both of those kids areas and focus on park beautification.

Then 2027 can be the year of the big one

Wow. I hope it's 5 inversions. I cannot wait for this.

There's a sinister part of me that still thinks it's a demon refurb lol but many of these teasers wouldn't make sense. Then again, I'm not really seeing a connection as is so I know nothing lol
