Snoopy's Racing Railway is a family launch coaster in the Camp Snoopy area of Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina. Built by ART Engineering, it opened on May 24, 2025, one of two Camp Snoopy rides added that season.
Instead of a lift hill, tires launch the train out of the station, and the park says it reaches 31 mph within seconds before running through dips and turns; a second tire-driven boost follows later in the course. The track is about 804 feet long and reaches about 39 feet high. A single train of seven cars seats 14 riders in pairs.
The ride's story has Snoopy as an engineer racing to deliver root beer and pizza to the Camp Snoopy Mess Hall. Riders must be 48 inches tall to ride alone, or 36 inches with a supervising companion, and no taller than 77 inches.
