Initially, the park featured only attractions for small children, adding some water attractions for children in the late 1980s. In the past 10 years, the park has begun to add rides that adults can enjoy but yet are not too extreme for children.

The park is similar to what [[Holiday World]] in [[Santa Claus, Indiana]] was back in the early 1990s.
