We Survived ValleyScare

I’m a big fan of Valleyfair, but not a big fan of going when it’s haunted. In the past, I never even thought about going to ValleyScare at night when all the ghosts and ghouls were out, but this year, we did it! Turns out, ValleyScare is a lot of fun. The biggest thing to […]

Valleyfair Flooding – June 28th 2024

We visited Valleyfair on June 28th and were amazed by the flooding. The Minnesota River has completely submerged the parking lot, forcing visitors to park off-site and take shuttle buses to the park. Valleyfair has also set up a temporary gravel entrance next to Delirious, as the main entrance is currently inaccessible. Once in the […]

Valleyfair!

For the first time in years we went to Valleyfair. I’m a thrill ride fan so I was hoping to hit up all the coasters, but it was also Lily’s first visit so there were plenty of new kid rides that I knew I’d be trying out. We picked a great day as it wasn’t […]

Valleyfair Construction 1974

Back in 1974 there wasn’t much to Valleyfair. In fact, two local businessmen were just starting to build it. When Valleyfair opened in 1976, it had 20 attractions that included the Antique Cars, Bumper Cars, Ferris Wheel, High Roller roller coaster, Scrambler, SuperCat, and Wheel of Fortune. Amazingly enough, most of those are still there today!

A View From The Top Of Power Tower

This is a great view, straight down, from the top of the Power Tower. Now having the ability to have a camera out, snap a shot, and not loose the camera is talent.

Why Do Themeparks Like Halloween So Much?

Valleyfair is currntly running ValleyScare where they turn the park in to a giant haunted house basically. During the day it’s fun and kid frienly, at night, it’s for adults and aimed to scare you to death. What I don’t get is why? Why do themeparks love to do this? Parks all around the country […]

Battle: ValleyFair VS. Nickelodeon Universe

I think it’s hard to compare ValleyFair and Nickelodeon Universe as they are two completely different parks with different visitors. But lets give it a go. ValleyFair tailors more to big kids, Nickelodeon Universe to little kids. ValleyFair is outdoors, Nickelodeon Universe is indoors. ValleyFair is pricy but all rides are included, Nickelodeon Universe is pay per ride for […]

New Valleyfair Coaster in 2010?

Rumors are starting to swirl about a new coaster in 2010 for Valleyfair. The rumors are just that for now as there is no concrete evidence or plans in place. A park visitor did mention that he saw what looked like coaster tools and clearing. …while riding Renegade, after the first drop on the Buckel, […]
