“You can still get on the rides, enjoy the park, if you come early in the day, you can enjoy the water park and stay for fireworks as well,” said Marketing Director Lynsey Winters.
The annual show is a favorite for many locals.
“They come in with their family and then stay through the night. They get to ride the rides at night, which I know is a huge thing that people love with all the lights and everything,” explained Winters.
There will be another 4th of July fireworks display Sunday at 9 p.m. In addition, the amusement park will be having a show every Saturday for the month of July.
