Kentucky Kingdom Opens Doors After Being Closed Five Years

Saturday is the first time in five years someone can ride the roller coasters at Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville.

The park staff said now, it’s better than ever.

The theme park hasn’t just been redone, it’s also much bigger.

There are at least 20 new rides.

The water park Hurricane Bay now has the nation’s tallest slide.  It’s just over 12 stories tall. 

There’s a new roller coaster called Lightning Run.

A new ride called Fear Fall drops 13 stories.  

The park closed in 2009 after filing for bankruptcy.
