Opened in 1976, Valleyfair is located on 90 acres in the Minnesota River Valley, and features more than 75 rides, shows and attractions. Besides Wild Thing swooping and winding around the park, coasters include the twisty Corkscrew and the U-shaped Steel Venom, plus the more traditional Excalibur. Power Tower, a 275-foot thrill ride, yanks passengers up nearly 27 stories at speeds up to 50 mph. Youngsters enjoy tamer rides in Half Pint Park and KidWorks.
