New Ride Coming to the Park in 2015 - The Rock Star
Park guests will get to enjoy a new ride in the park. The Rock Star will be placed in the park beside the "La Famiglia Gift Shop". Offering a new thrill element, the half-million dollar 'Rock Star' will join the park's other 30 rides and attractions.
"Guests are constantly asking us to bring bigger, more thrilling rides into the park," says Scott Crider, Vice President of Operations at DelGrosso's. "The Rock Star is a spectacular thrill ride that elevates riders 55' above the midway, on top of a flying platform," says Crider. Attached to a swinging arm that looks like the neck of a guitar, The Rock Star gives riders a unique free-fall experience as the platform whisks toward the ground after making a full circular, clockwise motion. The ride is complete with a spectacular LED light show and will seat 22 riders.
"This has been a popular ride for other parks around the country and we look forward to bringing The Rock Star to DelGrosso's to kick off our 68th year in the family entertainment business," says Crider. The Rock Star is manufactured by ARM, Inc. in Wintersville, Ohio.

Kicking Up Dirt to Make a Big Splash in 2016 - DelGrosso's Amusement Park to Expand Water Park
Ground breaking took place on Feb 20th for a new $12.5 million Water Park Expansion project at the park. It will be the largest in the park's 68 year history.
A new wave pool and lazy river will be added to the current Tipton Waterworks and Rapids Water Park. The entire water park will get a new name and theme. "Laguna Splash" will be an Italian themed water park. In addition to the new wave pool and lazy river, guests will enjoy various Italian themed water features like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, tipping buckets and vases, and various other interactive water features.
"Our family has been committed to expanding and improving the park for 68 years. This next step shows our customers that we are continuing that commitment to making new improvements, while providing high quality food and entertainment in a clean, safe and friendly environment, which was my grandparents' mission statement for the park," stated Carl Crider Jr., Park President.
In keeping with the DelGrosso Family tradition of high quality food, the new water park expansion project will also include three new food venues. These include an Italian themed pasta area that will feature sauces from DelGrosso Foods and other Italian specialty dishes. A new steak shop will carry Philly-style cheesesteaks, and a grill building, which will be located on an island near the lazy river, will feature char-grilled chicken, hamburgers, and hotdogs.

2016 Park Pricing
DelGrosso's Amusement Park will still remain a Free Parking and Free Admission Park. Guests will be able to walk into the ride park, but will not be able to enter the water feature areas without paid admission. The All Day Fun Pass, that will include both the water park and rides, will be $29.95 in June, July & August. An All Day Fun Pass in May & September will be $21.95 and includes the water park when in season. DelGrosso's Amusement Park will continue to have one of the lowest admission costs to comparable parks around the state.
Fair pricing is very important to the DelGrosso Family and Management. "My grandfather even included the words 'fair pricing' in his mission statement 68 years ago, and we are going to honor that by keeping the Free Parking and Free Admission into the ride park," says Carl Crider, Jr. Also, guests will still be able to use the $3 and $5 off coupons that are offered through DelGrosso Sauce Jars and Marianna's Fundraisers products. "We do understand that there is an increase in our All Day Fun Pass, but the new park enhancements will still be providing great family fun at a great price," says Crider.
Another added bonus, especially for local guests, is that the price of an annual Season Pass ($79.95) will not increase for the 2016 Season. "The Season Pass has always been a great value, and that will continue," says Carl Crider, Jr. Guests can also still enjoy buying individual ride tickets as well.

Construction timeline
Construction for the new water park and park entrance will begin in early 2015. This will mean a new temporary entrance will be in place for the 2015 season. Construction zone signs will be up around the park helping to direct park guests.
The current water and ride park will still be in operation for summer of 2015, but guests will have to pardon the appearance of the construction areas. This large project will require construction work to be completed during the summer of 2015 and throughout early 2016. The existing Go-Kart Speedway Track and Miniature Golf Course will be removed to make room for this new and exciting water park expansion. Opening is planned for Memorial Day weekend of 2016.
