In 1966, for the 50th anniversary, New Luna Park opened, in order to avoid having to be in compliance of not being allowed to demolish rides within Old Luna Park (a law that was enacted in 1964 and lasted until 1991).

In 1972, Kiddie Land was added.

In 1985, Bobsled was added.

In 1990, Boomerang was added.

In 2000, Cycle Kid was added, marking one of the last TOGO coasters in the United States.

In 2003, 5 new roller coasters were installed for the "Man vs. Lines" project, as an attempt to compete with the nearby Six Flags Nebraska.

Trivia

 * Originally, Runaway Train/Thomas’ Wild Ride was named “Crazy Train” when it opened, but Ozzy Osbourne’s legal team eventually threatened to file a lawsuit against Carwardine Parks for name infringement. Eventually, they settled out of court during the off-season by agreeing to change the name of the ride, which happened before the start of the 2003 season.
