Michgan’s Adventure Muskegon, MI Six Flags Entertainment
Park News - (7/22/2025) Screamscape has been told that Michigan’s Adventure will be closing earlier than normal this season. The annual kid-friendly Halloween themed “Tricks & Treats” event has been scrapped, so the park will now close for the season after the Labor Day holiday, with Monday, Sept. 1st, 2025 being your last day to visit this year. From what I’m hearing, it sounds like the announcement was issued to the park’s passholders this week, who in exchange for having their season shortened, are said to being offered a free ticket to visit Cedar Point anyday for the rest of that park’s 2025 season instead. It is worth mentioning that Tricks & Treats was only just added to the Michigan’s Adventure schedule for the 2023 season, and has only taken place for two seasons so far. Prior to that, the park would simply close down after Labor Day, so this move is essentially resetting the park’s schedule back to the way it ran for years. So with that in mind, it seems fair to say that after a 2-season trial run, Tricks & Treats may have simply not been profitable enough to continue any longer.
(6/1/2025) A very interesting new development has taken place at Michigan's Adventure over the off-season. According to a trip report from Coaster101, would you believe that the Shivering Timbers wooden coaster has installed a section of RMC’s 208 ReTrak rails? According to the report, the new steel track sections have been placed “between the first and second camelback hills”, and has made a rather significant improvement to the quality of the ride, removing what they described as a rather significant “pothole” at the bottom of those two hills. They also report that Wolverine Wildcat has also received “more Titan Track” as well, this time “on the 3rd turnaround heading back to the station.” That coaster was actually one of the first to receive Titan Track following the successful testing of it at Florida’s Fun Spot on White Lightning. I also was not aware that Wolverine Wildcat had also received a section of Gravity Group’s “vertical pre-cut wooden track” as well between the first and second turnarounds in a previous year. According to the report, it is running the best it has in decades now with all the upgrades. Perhaps the future may be bright after all for what is now one of the smallest parks in the Six Flags system. Follow the link to see several pictures of the coasters and their various upgraded track sections from RMC, Gravity Group and from GCI.
2025 - Nothing is known at this time...
2026 - Michigan’s Adventure 70th Anniversary - (11/24/2024) While Six Flags previewed a number of large capital projects in the works for 2026, it was pointed out that Michigan’s Adventure will be turning 70 in 2026, having first opened way back in 1956. So hopefully the merged Six Flags management will opt to celebrate this huge birthday for the park in some meaningful way.
