Kentucky Kingdom plans to open Midnight Showdown, billed as the world’s largest indoor wooden roller coaster, in spring 2027 as the centerpiece of a $50 million, multiyear park transformation. The horse-racing-themed ride will feature 1,130 feet of track, two 10-rider trains and 11 airtime moments, and will anchor the new Bluegrass Downs area. The park will also introduce Happy Valley Farm, retheming existing rides around Kentucky farm life; the additions complete an overhaul begun after Herschend acquired the Louisville park in 2021. The Gravity Group, a Cincinnati-based manufacturer, will build the coaster.
