🚨 BIG NEWS FROM CAROWINDS 🚨

Carowinds just announced Rip Roarin’ Falls coming in 2027… and this thing looks INSANE 🌊🔥

💦 World’s tallest log flume drop at 100 FEET
💦 Speeds up to 50 MPH
💦 3 WORLD RECORDS
💦 Massive splashdowns, reverse drops, and haunted lumber mill theming 👀

This isn’t your typical water ride… this is basically a THRILL COASTER disguised as a log flume 😳

Construction is already underway on the former Rip Roarin’ Rapids site, and honestly… Carowinds might have just added one of the most unique attractions in the country.

We closed out the evening with:9️⃣ Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts🔟 Hogwarts Express1️⃣1️⃣ Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey1️⃣2️⃣ Flight of the Hippogriff1️⃣3️⃣ Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure

Unfortunately, we ran out of time on the Islands of Adventure side because of the City of Orlando noise ordinance and ride closing times. That just means next year we’ll have to start on the Islands side first! 👀

Between the rides, low wait times, nighttime vibes, and all the amazing food throughout the parks, this event absolutely delivered from start to finish. 🍔🍩🍻

Nothing beats experiencing The Wizarding World at night and wrapping up the evening racing through the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid. What a way to finish the meetup! ✨
