The $14 million, Jeb Fox–themed attraction anchors Herschend’s $33 million family-focused expansion.

Overview

  • The custom suspended family model from Vekoma runs 1,380 feet in roughly 63 seconds at speeds up to 37 mph.
  • Trains seat 20 riders with a minimum height requirement of 38 inches.
  • Themed to local crop-dusting pilot Jeb Fox, the experience features a red barn queue, hand-painted murals and character audio.
  • Park officials placed the ride’s cost at about $14 million as part of more than $33 million in investments committed through 2026.
  • The addition becomes the park’s sixth roller coaster, the most in Kentucky, with pass renewals open now and new season pass sales starting Nov. 3.
