Kentucky Kingdom is about halfway between Six Flags St. Louis and Kings Island. It’s a small park that is making a big name for itself in the industry, and I was there on June 29 and 30 when they finally reopened for the 2020 season.
Lagoon Amusement Park is a smaller attraction in Farmington, Utah, a small town about 30 minutes north of Salt Lake City (and an hour south of the S&S factory, which I visited to ride the AXIS prototype roller coaster).
SeaWorld Orlando and Universal Orlando Resort are both working on a new roller coaster. SeaWorld was supposed to have theirs finished already, but the temporary closures greatly affected progress. Universal hasn’t announced a new coaster just yet, but mass construction states otherwise. Either way, we are very excited for more thrill attractions coming to Orlando….
As some U.S. theme parks have begun announcing plans for reopening their gates, park-goers have been told in no uncertain terms that there will be no parades, no fireworks, and no up-close-and-personal character meet and greets, but no screaming? Believe it or not, “quiet thrill rides” may be part of the reopening protocols at Japanese…
If you’re missing the thrills of SeaWorld and Busch Gardens’ roller coasters, you’re in luck! New models of the iconic thrill rides, called Nanocoasters, are now available.
