WILD ADVENTURES
Valdosta, GA
Herschend Family Entertainment
Park News - (4/26/10) A great photo report from the opening of Wild Adventures can be found over at Theme Park Review this week where you can see the new attractions brought in like Viking Voyage (formerly Jack Rabbit at Celebration City), Falcon Flyer, the refurbished Cheetah, Bug Out can been renamed Go Bananas, and much more.
(3/25/10) Wild Adventures has sent out a future attraction survey to many of their passholders this week. The five ideas being asked about include: Dinosaur Expedition (a walk-through attraction with lifesized Dinosaurs), High Seas Diving Stunt Show (Pirates themed), Casper’s Ghost Blasters (Interactive Dark Ride) and Two Giant Family Tube Slides for the waterpark and a Jungle themed area with a Zamperla Disk’O.
(6/1/09) Wild Adventures has been taking a survey about some new ride ideas lately. According to our source they ask opinions about four new attraction ideas: Mammoth River (Family Raft Slide), Racing Slide (4 lane mat racer), a collection of new Family Thrill Rides (Junior Coaster, Orbiter, Screamin’ Eagles, Fireball as well as a new animal exhibit) and finally Night Fire, a new Nighttime Spectacular that would mix lasers, projections, lighting effects and fireworks. Looks like the new owners are looking at almost any and all possibilities right now, except for adding a large new coaster.
2010 - 3 New Rides, Cheetah Renovation and More - (2/20/10) Wild Adventures will be holding a sneak peek preview of the park’s new attractions for Season Passholders on March 5th from 4pm to 8pm. (It wont open to the public until the next morning.) Passholders will be the first to try out the newly refurbished Cheetah, as well as their three new rides: Whirling Wildcats (Scrambler), Viking Voyage (family coaster) and Falcon Flyers (Flying Scooter). The fun will continue all season however as Wild Adventure’s has also announced that Kaptain Robbie Knievel will come to the park on July 3rd to perform a jump over the park’s central lake!
New Entertainment will also shuffle through the park this season starting with the magic of Arron Radaz, with the Tigers of India showing up in April. Country Rocks! Live will perform in May leading into summer performances by The Anastasinis (juggling, highwire, acrobatics) and hypnotist Tammy Barton in June. In July the park will welcome the Dana Kunze High Dive Show and Doggies of the Wild West.
(10/2/09) Wild Adventures has confirmed to us that the three new rides, a Scrambler, A Flying Scooters and a new family roller coaster, will all be coming in from Celebration City. That would pretty much narrow things down to either the Jack Rabbit (Miler) or Thunderbolt (S&MC Hurricane). Somehow I don’t think the park is going to get the Ozark Wildcat, though it would be nice… since they’ve already got the trains.
 2011 - New Waterslide - Semi-Confirmed - (8/4/10) According to one source the new waterslide at Wild Adventures will go in on the left side of the wave pool. Expect the park to make an announcement in the next week or two.
(7/9/10) Right before the end of this lengthy photo update of Wild Adventures they caught a few pictures of the new blue waterslide pieces behind Splash Island.
