Superman The Ride stands 208 feet tall and drops into a tunnel at 77 mph, and the wooden Thunderbolt has run here since 1941. Hurricane Harbor, the park's water park, has a 500,000-gallon wave pool. The park began in 1870 as a picnic grove called Gallup's Grove, and in fall it runs Fright Fest on select nights.
