New Mexico's Backyard

Park History
The park was announced in late 2000 for a spring 2003 opening date by Carwardine Parks, with the most notable announcement being the fact the park will be the first theme park in the world to be 100% solar powered.

The park opened in 2003.

In 2013, Cyclone opened.

In 2019, Cyclone closed due to multiple complaints of roughness. It was set to be converted into Iron Cyclone in 2020. However, due to complications with construction from the COVID-19 pandemic, the opening date for the coaster was delayed to 2021 and then 2022.

In 2022, Iron Cyclone and Maggie Simpson’s Adventure both opened.

In 2024, SpongeBob vs. The Big One will open.
