Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom
Louisville, Kentucky

    Kentucky Kingdom had humble beginnings as the midway of the State Fair.  As more rides were added (including a new area literally across the street), it began in 1987 to run throughout the entire season, not just the two weeks of the Fair.  Premier Parks purchased the park in 1997, and a year later it became the ninth park to use the Six Flags name.

Two coasters have moved from this park:

• Vampire (1990-1999) started in 1985 at the Lakeside Amusement Park in China.  It is presently Flashback at Six Flags New England.
• Starchaser (1985-1995) was an enclosed Schwarzkopf Jet Star that began at Beech Bend in Bowling Green, Kentucky.  In 1996, it was relocated to Six Flags Darien Lake as Nightmare At Phantom Cave.  Just three years later it was moved once again and is presently Nightmare At Crackaxel Canyon at Great Escape in New York.
