It is confirmed that a double-looping launch Hot Wheels roller coaster designed by Chance Rides which will be akin to Lightning Run at Kentucky Kingdom and will offer inversions making it the most thrilling of the offerings at the park. There will also be another Hot Wheels coaster, named Boneshaker which will be a family coaster and include some “fire” ride vehicles. It is also thought to be part dark ride. Additionally, there will be a go-kart track themed to Hot Wheels where you can race your friends and family.

Thomas and Friends will be represented by the The Thomas and Friends Adventure Train Treasure Hunt which will be a train attraction that will feature a life-size Thomas the tank engine.
