Park News - (7/15/10) Valleyfair will be hosting the CoasterCraze event this year on July 23rd which will feature ERT on Xtreme Swing, Wild Thing and Renegade as well as lunch and other surprises throughout the day. Click here to find out all the details on how to attend. (6/21/10) Pictures of the Rockband Live show at Valleyfair can be found over at Valleyfair Zone. (5/21/10) A trip report to Valleyfair’s opening day has been posted to MidWestInfoGuide. (3/27/10) Rising Floor Waters took their toll at Valleyfair earlier this week, flooding the parking lots and putting some lower sections of Renegade under water as you can see in this video clip here. (2/10/10) Valleyfairzone has confirmed that the bumper boats in Challenge Park will be removed for the 2010 season and sent to another park. (10/2/09) A review and trip report from the opening night of ValleyScare has been posted to ValleyFairZone. (7/18/09) Valleyfair has posted their own very high quality video showcasing Nik Wallenda performing his high wire walk over Valleyfair. This is all part of Nik’s “Walk Across America Tour” as he has been stopping by quite a few Cedar Fair parks this summer. The really crazy thing about this video however is that there is actually some POV video shot by a camera mounted to Nik’s balance pole that gives off a great view of what it looks like way way up there. I’ve got to say... No Thank You! I’m keeping my butt on the ground, thank you very much.
2010 - Internal Improvements - (5/13/10) While no new major attractions are coming to Valleyfair for the 2010 season, the park has been making some internal improvements however. Many of them have been documented on the Valley Girls blog on the official website.
2011 - Kiddieland / Planet Snoopy - Rumor - (7/30/10) This local news report confirms that a ‘significant’ expansion is on the way to Valleyfair next season. The announcement will be on August 6th, for something that they “hope will encourage families” to visit. I’m guessing our rumor about a Planet Snoopy may be dead on target. (5/12/10) According to a new rumor Valleyfair may be planning on bringing a new kiddie area to the park for the 2011 season, along with a new family coaster experience. I’m going to go out on the limb here and guess that we will likely see Planet Snoopy dropping into Valleyfair as this is now the only park in the Cedar Fair chain to not have Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang out in force. As for the new coaster, our source seemed to think that Mild Thing may possibly be phased out to make way for the new coaster, so perhaps the new Planet Snoopy area could be focused around this area of the park.
???? - 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.
