After negotiations with the FAA and the nearby Flying Cloud Airport, the FAA restricted the building height of the Power Tower at 275 feet (84 m) due to its proximity to the airport. Ī height restriction was imposed in 2000 with the building of the Power Tower. Since 1976, Valleyfair has invested over $96 million into the park, and today the park has over 75 attractions on 125 acres (51 ha) of land. The park continues to grow every year with new rides and attractions. Five years later, Cedar Fair Limited Partnership was formed as the parent company for Cedar Point and Valleyfair (the name being derived from the names of both flagship properties). In 1978 in an effort to increase investment capital for continued park expansion, Valleyfair was acquired by Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. The carousel in the park came from Excelsior Amusement Park which was closed in 1973. Valleyfair opened on featuring 20 rides and attractions on 26 acres (110,000 m 2), with the roller coaster High Roller being the main attraction.
Cedar Point and Valleyfair were the first two parks in the Cedar Fair chain (although Cedar Point Amusement Park originally opened in 1870) and a combination of the park names – "cedar" and "fair" – were used to name the company. Valleyfair also has a water park called Soak City which is included with the price of admission. Owned by Cedar Fair, the park opened in 1976 and now features over 75 rides and attractions including eight roller coasters. Valleyfair is a 125-acre (51 ha) amusement park in Shakopee, Minnesota, United States.
