You absolutely wish.
Honestly before the wishful thinking speculation goes off, there are a handful of realistic options involved if this is using the Dino's Alive site. Obviously that's considering a new family coaster for Camp Snoopy, since that's been a new trend with Cedar Fair. Yea a Vekoma stock model would go in nicely, but each new Snoopy coaster has been a different manufacturer and model so it'd be really funny if they threw some kind of curveball at us.
Make my day, punk, give us a Gerstlauer.
My own wishful thinking asides though, that's a lot of land at their disposal and do they
really need to expand the kid's area by that much? I can totally see a new family coaster going in but not a full doubling of Camp Snoopy on its own. Fortunately there are other options.
In July 2023 the park released a survey questioning guests on a log flume, rapids ride, or Mack water coaster after they'd sent the last of their dry park water rides to the grave. It was assumed by most to be a Rip Roaring' Rapids replacement, which is on the North Carolina side and probably the meatier site for this. However the Dino's Alive site is closer to the waterpark and requires little deforestation/terraforming, so it's possible we'll be seeing this here;

Other strong rumors at one point suggested the return of the antique cars, something that wouldn't please us die hard enthusiasts but its proximity to Planet/Camp Snoopy would drive demand from families.
All these factors considered, I'm not expecting a giant new coaster at Carowinds for 2025. Cedar Fair is seemingly filling up their large scale coaster rollout for 2025, with
Kings Dominion receiving the next big B&M contract, Canada's Wonderland
also working on something big to potentially be ready by next year, and Valleyfair
maybe pulling the trigger on their own stuff. Definitely room for a new modest-sized family coaster, though!
