The Mill Run location this year added a new miniature golf course, an RC track and a new jump pillow.

The park already has a life-sized pirate ship full of cabins. Other new attractions slated to open at that location this year include a new indoor and a new outdoor swimming pool, which are both expected to open over Memorial Day weekend.
