Activities abound at the Midwest's largest theme park, from speeding roller coasters like Deja Vu and Viper to pure thrill rides like the Giant Drop and Vertical Velocity. But those who turn green and come one step from puking on the stomach dropping rides will find plenty of other easy going alternatives. There are also tons of activities for the tots, including Looney Tunes National Park and Camp Cartoon Network. The park opens daily at 10am.
