Vortex isn't getting a floorless conversion and we're not getting any new water rides.
2021 will probably be a flat of some variety, either in the YoYo spot or on the Afterburn side of the old DA area. I also suspect we might see another permanent seasonal building constructed in that area for Scarowinds/Winterfest 2020, because only having five haunts this year is gonna make the lines even worse than they have been previously.
Then 2022 will see a Camp Snoopy expansion into the other half of the DA area, with 2023 being the next major expansion for whatever they decide to do with the RRR area.
It's pretty clear Carowinds is rolling on a four to five year cycle of coaster, waterpark, flat, kiddie stuff, and they're probably going to keep doing so because the park has plenty of growth potential with relatively small investments most years and a couple big ones every decade. This is as opposed to parks like CP, CW, and Knott's, where they are pretty much at the point of either ripping out existing attractions or having to look at building parking structures. (although it's pretty impressive how they keep finding ways to cram new rides into CW, not gonna lie)
