The Grand American Carousel carries on that very special tradition with 64 beautiful lovingly hand-carved horses. Choose your favorite and climb onto this charming slow-moving circular ride. Some horses gently rise up and down, while others stand still for a more stable ride. All are lit up by old fashioned carnival lights and music that transports you to another time. It’s a must-ride ride for couples falling in love, a child’s first amusement park, or simply friends galloping around with laughs and good times. A ride for the whole family.

Opening on May 8, 1976, it was originally named the Great American Revolution in honor of the country’s bicentennial celebration. This white steel track coaster is built into the park’s lush hillsides and features a fast and furious series of steep, daring dips and dives inspired by those experienced on old-fashioned wooden coasters. In 2016 to commemorate the 40th anniversary, The New Revolution was reopened with newly designed trains, special ride effects, and a new look. The beloved steel roller coaster that has thrilled over 45 million guests in its 40-year reign at the park, has been repainted a brilliant white and blue color, while the newly designed trains have been fitted with lap and calf bars, and features Americana red, white and blue colors with a silver eagle hood adornment. For coaster fans, the elimination of shoulder harnesses provide a smoother, sleeker ride experience with more airtime. Over the years, Revolution has had many cameo appearances in popular television shows and movies, most famously in the 1983 classic National Lampoon’s Vacation.

Gear up for the ultimate white-water river rafting experience, on the very first man-made rapids built in the Western U.S. You and your team of 11 riders will launch into the wettest wilderness adventure west of the Rockies. You’ll strap into your full-scale round river raft and set loose into the raging downstream flow, where wildly unpredictable currents will toss you around without warning, and treacherous falls will send you shooting over the edge.

The original Colossus opened to the public on June 29, 1978. It was the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world, as well as the first to feature two drops over 100 feet. Here's some more film & tv fun facts for this coaster! In the sitcom Step by Step, Colossus is the roller coaster that the Lambert-Foster family rides in the opening sequence. The roller coaster was also seen in television episodes of Knight Rider, Wonder Woman, and The A-Team. The film Zapped! featured the ride when protagonists Barney and Bernadette visit Magic Land (Six Flags Magic Mountain). The Castle episode "Deep Cover" used Colossus as a stand-in for the Coney Island Cyclone. More details can be found on https://en.wikipedia.org/

Don’t stop at the first ride you see. Keep going! It’ll be worth it, we promise! Many people head straight to the attractions they first see as they walk in. If you skip those and make your way to the back first, you’ll beat the rush that makes it there later in the day. In the time you save, you’ll be able to hit up more rides! Plus, you’ll be right near the front gate when it’s time to go home.
