The popular event has had a bit of a makeover for 2017, with exciting new party zones, and a brand new ice show added to the line-up! One of the things we love most about Summer Nights, is that you get to ride some of the park’s most thrilling roller coasters after hours! Falcon’s Fury, Cheetah Hunt and SheiKra are scarier than you could possibly imagine in the dark, so if you’re a bit of a thrill seeker, you won’t want to miss this amazing event.

Fiesta Fiesta- offers a Latin experience with a flavoursome menu
Luau- is inspired by the islands, and has a tasty Hawaiian menu and refreshing tropical cocktails
