We're Making Way For New Experiences


February 21, 2025

Kentucky Kingdom park leadership recently announced a $25 million investment into attractions and guest experiences over the next two seasons. In May 2025, the park will open the all-new, $11 million land—Discovery Meadow. This Kentucky-inspired experience is just the beginning of our multi-year growth plan.

This summer, we look forward to sharing development plans for $14 million worth of improvements in 2026.

As we continue to invest in and develop the park, we’re focused on bringing guests deeper storytelling, immersive theming, and unforgettable experiences. With this in mind, we will be saying goodbye to a few attractions to make way for new and exciting experiences:



Cyclos Cyclos

Cyclos

Cyclos first debuted at Kentucky Kingdom in 2015. It’s huge swinging and rotating pendulum looped 360 degrees in the air, creating the ultimate summertime twist!

Eye of the Storm

Two years later, the park debuted Eye of the Storm—standing at 73 feet tall. The attraction rocked back and forth before completing a full loop in both directions.

Himalaya

Raging Rapids River Ride

Raging Rapids River Ride has offered chills and thrills to many park goers since 1999. This whitewater adventure challenged guests to ride rapids, dodge geysers and avoid boulders every inch of the way.

We know it can be hard to say goodbye to attractions, but we’re paving the way for even more exciting experiences that will elevate Kentucky Kingdom like never before and deliver unforgettable family experiences that will Create Memories Worth Repeating®.  Thank you for being a part of the Kentucky Kingdom family and we can’t wait to share everything that’s in store with you soon.
