The “Northern Lights” family coaster debuts at Valleyfair in Shakopee, Minn. Guests soar along 300 feet (91 meters) of track, reaching speeds up to 43 mph (69 km/h). At night, the ride’s dancing lights will illuminate the sky in hues of purple, blue, and green. The park also introduces the Route 76 family area, which provides a new home for three classic rides — “Antique Autos,” “Tilt-a-Whirl,” and “Scrambler,” all of which originally debuted at the park in 1976. New in 2016 is “All Wheels Extreme,” where extreme sports are performed in an outdoor amphitheater, as well as a reopened “Flying Eagles” swing ride.
