VALLEYFAIR
Shakopee, Minnesota (Abbreviation: VF)
Cedar Fair L.P.
 Park News - (4/2/2024) As just as expected, Valleyfair has confirmed that ValleyScare will be returning for the 2024 season, featuring new and remodeled haunts, scare zones, live shows and more.
(4/1/2024) Valleyfair is expected to make some kind of announcement on April 2nd, and based on the little hints they’ve been dropping over the past week or so, the best guess is that the park may be confirming the return of their ValleyScare Halloween Haunt event. Last year the park opted out of the long-running spoopy Halloween event to focus all their efforts on a kid-friendly non-frightening event, similar to what launched over at California’s Great America.
If the loss of ValleyScare really hurt the park’s fall attendance numbers, then it would be a no-brainer to bring it back in 2024. Certainly ValleyFair hasn’t been doing themselves any favors in recent years by not adding major new attractions, so it would make sense that the loss of the haunt may have just been the final nail in the coffin to drive the thrill-seeking demographic away entirely.
Stay tuned!
(5/14/2023) I’m not quite sure what is going on, but a post on Twitter mentioned that some clearing was now taking place at Valleyfair between the Renegade wooden coaster and Thunder Canyon rapids. Anyone know more?
2024 - Nothing new has been announced at this time.
2025 - New Project - (11/7/2023) According to a post on Twitter, the old Landshore Landing building at Valleyfair has been demolished. The building used to serve as the entrance and exit gift shop for the park’s version of Dinosaur’s Alive. The post also mentions a local rumor claiming that Valleyfair may be preparing for a B&M Inverted coaster for 2025, but this remains to be seen. But clearly, they are preparing this site for something which is good news, as the park has been waiting some time for a new attraction. I believe the last new ride added was Delirious, way back in 2018.
