Park News - (4/4/2026) According to this picture taken at Michigan’s Adventure, it looks like a second batch of RMC’s 208 Retrak rails are being installed on Shivering Timbers ahead of the 2026 season. As we reported last year, a section of the track was already replaced last year, ahead of the 2025 season. Ironically, the park’s Wolverine Wildcat also has had some of GCI’s Titan Track added over the past couple of years as well, so I guess if you visit you can compare the ride experience on both new track systems back to back.
(6/1/2025) A very interesting new development has taken place at Michigan's Adventure over the off-season. According to a trip report from Coaster101, would you believe that the Shivering Timbers wooden coaster has installed a section of RMC’s 208 ReTrak rails? According to the report, the new steel track sections have been placed “between the first and second camelback hills”, and has made a rather significant improvement to the quality of the ride, removing what they described as a rather significant “pothole” at the bottom of those two hills.
They also report that Wolverine Wildcat has also received “more Titan Track” as well, this time “on the 3rd turnaround heading back to the station.” That coaster was actually one of the first to receive Titan Track following the successful testing of it at Florida’s Fun Spot on White Lightning. I also was not aware that Wolverine Wildcat had also received a section of Gravity Group’s “vertical pre-cut wooden track” as well between the first and second turnarounds in a previous year. According to the report, it is running the best it has in decades now with all the upgrades.
Perhaps the future may be bright after all for what is now one of the smallest parks in the Six Flags system. Follow the link to see several pictures of the coasters and their various upgraded track sections from RMC, Gravity Group and from GCI.
 2026 - Michigan’s Adventure 70th Anniversary - (5/31/2026) Michigan’s Adventure is turning 70 this season, and to celebrate the park is adding five new live entertainment acts this summer. As listed on the website, look for Dockside Vibes with Johnny Breeze, The Funland Farm Radio Hour, Udder Nonsense: Barnyard Storytime, Jet Pack Water Spectacular and Timbertown Live.
(11/24/2024) While Six Flags previewed a number of large capital projects in the works for 2026, it was pointed out that Michigan’s Adventure will be turning 70 in 2026, having first opened way back in 1956. So hopefully the merged Six Flags management will opt to celebrate this huge birthday for the park in some meaningful way.
