News & Notes: The 1988 season brought a focus on family rides with the addition of a Huss Condor ride which took the former location of Calypso, and a makeover of Looney Tunes Land, turning it into  a more modern Bugs Bunny Land.   The additions were small in comparison to the original plan which was to build a world-record breaking 7-inversion roller coaster, which was built at Six Flags Great America instead.

In addition, the park focused on increased security and safety measures in order to restore its image after a problematic season in 1987.   Ride operators and attendants were put through rigorous training programs, rides were retrofitted with additional safety devices and the security force was expanded, along with the installation of permanent metal detectors at the front gate.
