About the Park

was previously known as Africa because it was originally an Africa-themed park. Started as a zoo, it quickly developed into a theme park with a large roller coaster. Lanes like SheiKra, the first dive coaster in North America and Falcon's Fury, the highest free-standing freefall tower in North America, make the hearts of adrenaline junkies beat faster. Since 2022 there is also Iron Gwazi, the first RMC Coaster in Florida.
