Morgan’s Wonderland reopens following $6.5 million expansion project

Park was closed for four months during renovations

SAN ANTONIO – Morgan’s Wonderland reopened Monday following a huge expansion project that added four new attractions and made upgrades throughout the accessible, inclusive park.

The $6.5 million renovation project took four months to complete.

The park be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through March 17 for spring break and then 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday-Sunday for the rest of the month.

You can get all of the information about park hours and admission on the park’s website.

The new attractions include:

  • 4D Cinema in Sensory Village, which will give riders in wheelchairs the sensation of riding a roller coaster. “Examples of the unique elements are electric actuators that deliver smooth and accurate motion effects, a custom video screen size for guests of all abilities and a motion-disengage option for those who do not wish to experience coaster-like sensations,” park President Richard Pretlow said in the release.

  • The Rocket’s Sky Flight Adventure zip line will allow riders to soar above the lake. “A manufacturer from Utah will install the first-of-its-kind, 4-seater zip line that can accommodate riders with disabilities and special needs,” Pretlow said, adding the zip line will also have room for riders’ medical gear.
