Welcome To Screamscape!

Park News - (6/11/09) Remember that group of thugs who decided to attack a dad seeking to protect his daughter? According to this news report four of the six men accused here have pleaded guilty this past week, joining two others who also did the same back in April.
  (6/9/09) Valleyfair has issued some details about this year’s Coaster Craze event that will take place on Friday, July 24th. The event will include ERT on Renegade and Wild Thing and even include an exclusive Renegade Walk-Back.
  (10/27/08) A 20 year old woman taking in the fun at Valleyscare became the victim of an attack when three men grabbed and assaulted her inside the theme park. Eventually other guests heard the screaming and investigated, causing the attackers to flea into the darkness. You can read more here. Still… it’s got me wondering just what it is in the water up there, because first there was the attack on the father who was defending his daughter from a group of men over the summer and now this.

2009 - Breaker’s Bay / Soak City - (5/25/09) A new construction update from Valleyfair shows off the now finished wave pool at the bottom of the page. Check it out at Coaster Cravers.
  (5/18/09) Valleyfair Zone has posted a photo trip report from the park this past weekend showing off a few of the changes as well as the new wave pool being filled up.
  (4/18/09) Some construction pictures of the new Breakers Bay can be found at CoasterCravers along with an updated new park photo gallery.
  (3/31/09) You can take a pre-season peek at Valleyfair over at ValleyfairZone, with coverage of the park as well as the new wave pool.
  (2/12/09) Valleyfair Zone has posted new construction pictures this week of Breaker’s Bay.
  (11/6/08) A new construction update for the wave pool can be seen at ValleyfairZone.
  (10/20/08) Valleyfair has confirmed the name change for the waterpark to Soak City on their website now along with the Breaker’s Bay name for the new wave pool.
  (10/17/08) I’ve heard that the new wave pool may be named Breaker’s Bay, which fits with the Soak City theme since that’s the name of the wave pool at Cedar Point.
  (10/14/08) Some new construction pictures from the Soak City project can be seen at ValleyfairZone.
  (10/10/08) CoasterKarma has posted the announcement from Valleyfair that not only will the park add a new large wave pool next year (34,000 sq-ft, 200 feet of “beach frontage”) with cabana rental service, but they will also change the name of the waterpark from Whitewater Country to Soak City.
  (9/29/08) New construction pictures from Valleyfair have been posted to CoasterCravers, including a picture of that new banner confirming that a new wave pool is indeed on the way in 2009. At this point there really isn’t anything left of the old log flume, other than a big hole where the wave pool will be going.
  (9/24/08) The demolition of the old log ride is now complete, as the park has begun digging up the site for a new wave pool. New pictures of the site can be found at ValleyfairZone. As for the wave pool announcement… we’ve heard that a large banner has be put up along the highway that says, “Splash around in our wavepool, New for ‘09”. Anyone have a picture of that?
  (9/18/08) A reader sent in a couple of pictures showing off the current demoltion of the parks log flume. You can also find a few more pictures posted to ValleyfairZone along with a look at the Haunt themeing being installed.
  (9/5/08) Screamscape had heard that the flume ride at Valleyfair is now closed and that demolition may have begun to make way for whatever is in store for the 2009 season. Anyone know more?
  (8/1/08) According to the latest rumors buzzing around, the markers near the log flume may be part of a plan to add a new wave pool to the waterpark. Unfortunately, if this is true the log flume will have to be removed to make room. I’ve got to give credit to NewsPlusNotes for posting this rumor first. Looks like that rumored B&M coaster project wont be coming now until 2010.
  (7/31/08) A reader sent in a couple of photos showing off survey markers that have been placed very close to the log flume at Valleyfair. There is no telling what these are for yet, though I think the site would be a little on the small side for installing a new B&M coaster on. Anyone know more about what these are for, or if the log flume is even in danger of being removed?

2011/2012 - New B&M Coaster - Rumor - (5/15/09) With Valleyfair on the short list of parks Cedar Fair may possibly sell off, adding a new coaster is no longer at the top of list of possible new rides for the park right now. If it happens at all, it will be another couple of years I’m sure.
  (6/24/08) Its been a great week for rumors so far and this next one is sure to please the Valleyfair crowd if it comes true. Look for a new steel B&M creation to make a hard landing near the front of the park in 2009 or more likely in 2010. We don’t know the exact design, but it seems likely that your feet will hang, so either a Floorless or Inverted are most likely, but don’t expect to see a Dive Machine.
