Built around the popular local attraction of Marvel Cave, this fun park effortlessly combines an 1880’s theme with some of the most exciting attractions around. One of the park’s signature attractions is one of the most intense wooden rollercoasters in the world. With an opening drop of 162 feet at an 81 degree angle, a top speed of 68 miles per hour and multiple loops (the first wooden coaster to claim such a feature), thrill-seekers could easily spend an entire day riding it over and over again. Other action-packed attractions include steel rollercoasters and a log flume that plunges 50 feet into a splash down landing.
