Damn beat me to it. 5 new rides. Southern Star gone for good.
Honestly more stoked for this new flat land expansion than Cedar Point's. While I was initially put off by the theme, feels a little more novel/earnest than Cedar Point's *waves to lake in grand gesture* "The Boardwalk".
Here's also a flyover video of the plot from the webpage:

Carowinds’ TikTok leaked concept artwork for an unannounced Zamperla Windstarz ride to be replacing Southern Star. RIP any hopes that it might have been rethemed;

Air Racer parts are onsite!
Normally I might embed the tweet, but not doing so in the off chance that Twitter collapses.

The 2 seat belts seem a little excessive

Current look at progress around the site, as per the park blog;
Both the Air Race and NebulaZ have been installed at this point.
The concrete pad has been poured for the Gyro Force trabant, which has been at the park since at least March 2022 and is the sole exception to the Zamperla flat ride package.
The Air Walker Skater has placed footers, the site is a couple steps behind compared to the rest.
General construction shots from the rest of the area;

Carowinds did indeed open Aeronautica Landing the other day, you can see videos of the Zamperla Air Race/NebulaZ/Skater + rethemed bumper cars here along with interviews regarding the area;
However, Aeronautica Landing is nowhere near done, as the Gyro Force trabant has yet to be installed despite being on site way back in March 2022. They've also finally announced the Zamperla Windstar as a "surprise" sixth attraction. Both rides are expected to open later in the Spring;
