Park Overview:
The Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom park has over a dozen thrill rides and coasters that include traditional woodies to whitewater rafting to record breaking stand-ups.
Want more than the traditional amusement park fare? Six Flags Splashwater Kingdom features the Deluge water coaster and the Tornado funnel ride. Best of all, the water park is included in the general admission price to Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom.
Further beyond-the-coaster activities include a giant rock climbing wall and Thrill Park theater, which uses motion-simulation technology to provide a whole new kind of cinematic sensation. Other attractions include a 150-foot-tall Ferris wheel and the Six Flags Celebration Parade, where children can march with the Justice League and all their favorite Looney Tunes characters.
As with all Six Flags parks, Kentucky Kingdom offers Fright Fest. The annual Halloween celebration includes haunted mazes, special shows, and other features to mark the holiday.
