Snoopy's Soap Box Racers is a steel family roller coaster in the Camp Snoopy area of Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. Vekoma built the ride, a Family Boomerang model, and it opened on May 24, 2024, when the park added Camp Snoopy to its Planet Snoopy children's area.
The coaster is themed to a Peanuts soap box derby. Riders are pulled up a 70-foot hill to a starting line and released along a course of twists and turns past a camp lookout station. Just before the finish line, the whole train rolls backward over the same course.
RCDB lists 673 feet of track, a top speed of 37 mph and a ride time of 1 minute 36 seconds, with no inversions. The single train has ten cars seating 20 riders. The park's minimum rider height is 48 inches, or 38 inches with a companion.
