Kentucky Kingdom Coupons & Promo Codes April 2024

Mr. Birkner remarked, "What better way to celebrate Kentucky Kingdom's 30th anniversary than to add our sixth roller coaster! The Kentucky Flyer is designed by the Gravity Group, an internationally acclaimed American wooden roller coaster supplier. They've built coasters all over the world and generally to rave reviews. The Kentucky Flyer will navigate through 56-degree hairpin turns at rapid speeds, treating riders to plenty of airtime. It's also a big plus that the unique design of the Gravity Group's "Timberliner" coaster train comfortably accommodates a wide range of passenger sizes (beginning at 40 inches) and weights." (For more information about the Timberliner coaster train, see the link at the end of this press release.)

Korey Kiepert, Principal with the Gravity Group, added, "Many coasters have a minimum height requirement of 48 inches, which is the average height of an 8-year old, but the minimum height for riders of the Kentucky Flyer will be only 40 inches (when accompanied by an adult). We're excited about providing Kentucky Kingdom a ride that will allow younger children, many for the first time, to join their moms, dads, brothers, and sisters in experiencing the exhilaration of a high-speed roller coaster. I'll never forget when I first fell in love with roller coasters and I can't wait for my children to have that same unforgettable experience. Our goal was to build a coaster that the whole family can enjoy, but without sacrificing the thrills that coaster enthusiasts have come to expect from the Gravity Group. The Kentucky Flyer certainly accomplishes that goal." To add to the celebration of Kentucky Kingdom's 30th anniversary, operating hours at the Hurricane Bay water park will be extended to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays during the month of July. In addition, the price for "early bird" season pass purchases will be lowered by $10.00. Julie Johnson, the park's Director of Sales, noted, "A Kentucky Kingdom season pass makes a great holiday gift and our lower price of only $59.95 for an early bird season pass is our way of thanking the local community for its support of the park. At $59.95, a 2019 season pass costs only $5.00 more than the regular price of a one-day general admission ticket, and with the many benefits a pass offers (unlimited visits during the season, $1.00 soft drinks all season long, and 20% discounts on food and retail purchases in the park), it's not only a great holiday gift, but a terrific value."
