Billings' Wild Kingdom

 is a regional amusement park & zoo located in that is owned by Carwardine Parks.

History
The park opened in 1940 as a zoo known as "Billings' Wild Animal Kingdom" before being turned into a hybrid amusement park & zoo called "Billings' Wild Kingdom" in 1955 with the addition of Montana Cannonball.

In 1980, Montana Cannonball was severely damaged in a lightning storm that caused it to remain SBNO through the rest of the season and all of 1981, leading to severe financial damage for the park.

In 1982, the park was purchased by Carwardine Parks and the park's first major coaster since Montana Cannonball, Canyon Buster, opened that same year. Montana Cannonball was also demolished later that year.

In 1986, Thunderbolt 200 opened.

In 1987, Roundabout opened.

In 1992, some of the classic rides were removed to be moved to Andy Griffith's Mayberry U.S.A., the removal of the rides started the "Build Wild!" initiative to add more thrilling and experimental rides that would last throughout the 90s.

In 1993, Time Machine and Carwardine Theatre were added.

In 1995, Donkey Kong's Coaster Country and Virtual Coaster opened.

In 1997, Mario's Wingflyer was added.

In 1999, the largest expansion in the park's history came with Billings' Wild Waters.

In 2004, Double Dash Dueler opened.

In 2006, several family rides were added, along with Endurance - The Coaster (now known as Silverwing - Night Sky Race).

In 2019, Montana Titan opened.

In 2021, Shark Coaster opened.
