Western New York’s Largest Amusement Park Is Set To Open

While Buffalo and Western New York may be considered worldwide as America's snow capital, those of us who live in the 716 and call this region home know better. We have the benefit of being able to experience all four seasons and the great things that come along with them. Buffalo is a great place to be year-round, from great skiing and winter sports to fall foliage to cherry blossom blooms in the spring.

One of those reasons absolutely have to be the great summers we have. Not only do you have the fresh water beaches along Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, we have all sorts of top notch restaurants with great patios and all sorts of other amazing activities to get into all over.

One of the things that people love to do in the area is hang out at amusement parks. With all the rides, fun, water parks, and fried dough, who can blame them? If this is something you're into, the largest theme park in the region is set to open its gates for 2025 very soon.
