CEDAR FAIR PARKS

Valleyfair, sometimes stylized Valleyfair!, is a 125-acre (51 ha) amusement park located in Shakopee, Minnesota, USA and is currently the largest amusement park in the Upper Midwest United States. Owned by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, the park features over 75 attractions, 48 of which are rides that include eight roller coasters. Valleyfair also has a water park called Soak City which is included with the price of admission. Valleyfair and Cedar Point are the two original Cedar Fair parks, and the Fair in the Cedar Fair name comes from Valleyfair.Valleyfair opened in 1976 and was originally themed as a Coney Island-styled early 20th century amusement park, which leads to some jarring contrasts with modern-style rides like the steel roller coasters Corkscrew and Wild Thing.Valleyfair’s normal operating season runs daily from Memorial Day through Labor Day and some weekends in May and September. There is also a "ValleyScare" event near Halloween.
