Kentucky Kingdom opened in 1987 and has been through various phases to become the theme park it is today. The original theme park phased out until Ed Hart purchased and reopened it in 1900 with an array of new roller coasters and rides, and it was further altered once Six Flags took over in 1998.

Eventually, Ed Hart repurchased the theme park and reopened it in 2014, establishing the theme park visitors see now. There are five roller coasters, including the Storm Chaser, which was introduced in May 2016. There's something for the entire family from toddlers to the elderly, including a 5-D cinema, a giant Ferris wheel, the Raging Rapids River Ride, and a number of heart racing rides and rollercoasters. Other attractions include Hurricane Bay, which has a large wave pool and a collection of water rides, and King Louie's Playground, filled with rides for the underage visitor.
