6. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

Opened: March 4, 2020

Perhaps the biggest opening of the year was Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway at Disney's Hollywood Studios, which is a trackless dark ride that uses "2 1/2 D" technology to transport guests inside the zany world of the Mickey Mouse shorts.

Though this attraction's pre-show is not running due to social distancing and trains have been outfitted with plexiglass, this attraction is essentially still running the same way it did on opening day. 

7. The Bourne Stuntacular

Opened: June 30, 2020

After Universal Orlando Resort reopened over the summer, the resort surprised guests by announcing that the new Bourne Stuntacular show would be opening on June 30, 2020, just after the parks themselves began welcoming guests once again. This new live-action stunt show features chase scenes, fistfights, death-defying leaps and more, with live performers, high-tech props, and a giant LED screen.

8. Orion (King's Island)

Opened: July 1, 2020

Though King's Island was only open for a few weeks this past summer, the park was able to debut its new Orion giga=coaster, which plummets guests down an exhilarating 300-foot first drop, sending them on a high-speed journey over seven more hills and 5,321 feet of track at speeds up to 91 MPH, making this attraction Kings Island's tallest, fastest and longest steel roller coaster. 

9. Candymonium

Opened: July 3, 2020

For thrill-seekers, the new Candymonium steel roller coaster opened this past July at Hersheypark along with with a newly-themed section of the park called Hershey's Chocolatetown. This attraction is the tallest and fastest at the park, and brings guests on a 210-foot ascent before plunging them through a series of thrilling drops including 7 camelback hills that serve up the ultimate feeling of freedom with the most airtime in Hersheypark.
