The park's second ride addition will be Kaleidoscope, a classic spinning flat ride made by Huss that will be located on the park's Main Midway, by the Coasters restaurant. The ride has three giant arms, each with seven rider gondolas attached to it. The entire ride will rotate counterclockwise as the arms raise and spin on their own. Kaleidoscope will offer riders moments of "weightlessness, strong accelerations and side-to-side moments." These two new rides are sure to add a lot of excitement and energy to the park's Main Midway!
