    Features

    • Themed plazas and neighborhoods give every visit a sense of discovery. Stroll past the gleaming Columbia Carousel in Carousel Plaza and into the Americana of Hometown Square, the festive rhythms of Mardi Gras and Orleans Place, or the frontier vibe of Southwest Territory.

    • More than a dozen roller coasters delivers range and variety: from the smooth, sweeping airtime of Raging Bull to DC™‑themed favorites like BATMAN™: The Ride and the interactive JUSTICE LEAGUE™: Battle for Metropolis. For pure launch adrenaline, Maxx Force rockets riders from 0 to 78 mph in under two seconds—the fastest launch in North America—before threading lightning-quick inversions that keep the pace to the very end.

    • Seasonal shows and nighttime entertainment add atmosphere across the park, amplifying the sense of celebration for families and thrill seekers alike.

    • The coaster roster keeps growing with Wrath of Rakshasa, featuring one of the the steepest drops and most inversions on any dive coaster, underscoring the park’s commitment to fresh, headline experiences.

  • What to bring

    • Make sure to dress for a full day outdoors. Think light, breathable clothing like t-shirts, shorts, or comfortable pants work best, along with sturdy walking shoes or sneakers.

    • If you’re planning to hop on water rides like Loggers Run or Yankee Clipper, bring a poncho or a change of clothes.

    • Don’t forget to carry sunscreen, sunglasses, and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day.
