Among the highlighted plans and developments for the 2025 operating season:
Six Flags Great America – Wrath of Rakshasa, from roller coaster design experts at Bolliger & Mabillard, will be unleashed in 2025, shattering multiple world records. Riders will test their limits on the ride’s beyond-vertical, 171-foot drop, the steepest of any dive coaster in the world. But the initial 96-degree drop is just the beginning as Wrath of Rakshasa reaches speeds up to 67 mph, shattering a second world record with five total inversions, the most of any dive coaster in the world.
Carowinds‘ Camp Snoopy will unveil two new family-friendly attractions in 2025 as part of the largest investment in family attractions in the park’s history: a new launch roller coaster and an interactive raft ride.

The new attractions promise endless adventures and fun for guests of all ages, making Camp Snoopy a must-visit destination for families in 2025.
Canada’s Wonderland introduces another first of its kind coaster experience with AlpenFury, the tallest, fastest and longest launch coaster in Canada. When fire and ice collide inside the iconic and mysterious Wonder Mountain, a force so fierce will blast riders 164 feet vertical through the summit and into the sky. Riders will experience one of the wildest coaster rides ever created through nine mind-blowing inversions – the most for any launch coaster in North America, at 71 mph, spanning 3,281 feet across the park.
Six Flags New England – Quantum Accelerator, an LSM propulsion, multi-launch roller coaster, is set to be New England’s first straddle coaster. Guests will experience 11 moments of “airtime” while riding side-by-side on comfortable coaster cars designed as futuristic motor bikes. With a top speed of 45 mph, this new ride will appeal to both novice and advanced coaster fans.
Kings Dominion, central Virginia’s beloved amusement park, is thrilled to announce the arrival of Rapterra as part of the park’s 50th anniversary season in 2025.

Kings Island’s Soak City Water Park will debut new ways to chill and first-of-its-kind thrills with the addition of RiverRacers, the first and only dual-racing water coaster in Ohio, sending thrill seekers down a three-story first drop, then propelling them uphill through a mirrored race course of enclosed and open tubes and 180-degree high-bank turns before hitting a gravity-defying final straightaway drop to the finish line pool below. For those who like to chill, seven new kids water slides and kids splash lagoon swimmin’ hole will be featured in the riverside-themed kids’ play area and parent oasis, Splash River Junction.
Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles will undergo a major transformation for its 30th anniversary season, marking a substantial investment to the water park experience.

The park’s ambiance will be revitalized with colorful slide and structure refurbishments, added landscaping and upgraded food and beverage options and locations for a more satisfying dining experience. Every aspect of the water park will be touched, ensuring an inviting environment to soak up the California sun.
Hurricane Harbor in Arlington, Texas, will unveil the largest expansion in water park history, with the addition of a vibrant coastal-themed area anchored by a massive 58,000-square-foot, multi-level interactive kids play structure with 110 water features, seven water slides and a 1,000-gallon Texas-sized tipping water bucket. An additional seven-water-slide complex will include a mini-tornado water slide and mini wave slide, allowing brave first-time riders to slide down and around to a safe, soft mat landing area. A new self-play Splash Pad – featuring two dozen water features, plus new family cabanas, oversized umbrellas, junior-sized lounge furniture, refurbished restrooms and signature restaurant renovation – will complete this transformative new kids sprayground and parent oasis.
