Kentucky Kingdom Teases New 2026 Coaster

Thrill-seekers, brace yourselves—Kentucky Kingdom is officially adding a brand-new roller coaster in 2026! You’ve probably noticed the construction fences and teaser signage to the left of the main park entrance—right where the old FearFall once stood.

Park insiders suggest this is part of Herschend’s ongoing $25 million master investment plan. After unveiling the family-friendly Discovery Meadow in 2025 ($11M), the remaining $14 million earmarked for 2026 likely covers this mysterious coaster   

No official details on the ride type yet—but coaster fans are already speculating:

A Gerstlauer Sky Fly or Screamin’ Swing with a barn-themed twist

A smaller launch coaster suitable for the front-of-park space

Even the idea of shifting Kentucky Flyer to a prominent new spot is being tossed around
