Excitement is to our rides, as beauty is to our gardens! Thrill to over 40 rides for children of all ages, including five coasters and the world’s tallest spinning rapids ride! The park's sixth coaster opens this summer as the classic "woodie" Starliner sends passengers on a heart-pounding ride full of gravity-defying g-forces and plenty of "lift" time. Take a heart-stopping drop on the Thunderbolt, or brave the wooden curves and corners of Triple Hurricane. Gentler fun is found on the Boardwalk Carousel, a double-decker beauty full of brightly-colored, bobbing horses or the Citrus Line Railroad, a train ride through Adventure Grove. Little tykes will giggle and laugh a whole host of favorites, set right in the heart of the all-new children's area Bugsville. Picture the world through the eyes of a bug and meet the entire Bugsville gang this spring! The entire family will enjoy the views from the Paradise Sky Wheel and Sunshine Sky Adventure. It’s all found in Adventure Grove, where screams of laughter and excitement are as plentiful as the flowers in the gardens!
