Gold Striker blends a throwback wooden profile with modern engineering, highlighted by a signature initial descent tunnel that heightens the sensation of speed from the very first drop. Flight Deck, the park’s inverted steel coaster, soars to 50 mph through a vertical loop, a zero‑gravity roll, and sweeping turns above the lake.

Families will find a full day of discovery in PLANET SNOOPY®, where kid‑friendly rides and play areas bring the fun and whimsy of the PEANUTS® Gang to life.
