Alabama Adventure & Splash Adventure

Bessemer, United States

---

Alabama Adventure & Splash Adventure in Bessemer, Alabama, is a combined amusement and water park that opened in 1998 originally as VisionLand. The park has experienced multiple ownership changes, rebrandings, and periods of closure, including a bankruptcy in 2002.

It features both dry amusement rides and an extensive water park, with key attractions including the iconic Rampage wooden roller coaster, which is 120 feet tall and renowned as one of the best wooden coasters in the southeast. The park was purchased in 2014 by the Koch family, who invested in restoring rides and adding new attractions such as kiddie rides and water slides, while offering perks like free parking, soft drinks, sunscreen, and inner tubes.

Though the amusement and water park areas operate under separate names, both are accessible with one ticket, making it a popular regional destination from May through September. The facility covers about 89 acres and hosts a variety of family-friendly rides alongside water-based fun, balancing thrill rides with leisure amenities.
