Inside Rip Roarin' Falls with Whitewater Engineer David Chesney
About this episode
The episode features an interview with water ride engineer David Chesney discussing the new water attraction Rip Roarin' Falls at Carowinds.
Last week, we attended the announcement for Carowinds' new-for-2027 record-breaking water attraction Rip Roarin' Falls. Like many media events, there is the opportunity to interview people from the park and the manufacturer during the event, but to be cognizant of everyone's time - including other people who might have questions - sometimes you need to keep those interviews brief - not ideal for a podcast. Fortunately, after chatting for a few minutes with David Chesney, who is a water ride engineer for Whitewater, the manufacturer of Rip Roarin' Falls, I knew that we needed a longer conversation - and just a week later, here we are. David takes us through his career in the industry, Whitewater's reimagining of the classic log flume, and everything else - even beyond the three World Records - that's going to make Rip Roarin' Falls an amazing addition for Carowinds. (For the coaster nerds out there, there's even a little conversation about one of David's first-ever coaster projects - a backyard coaster he build in his late teens!)
