SANDUSKY, Ohio— Amusement park operator Cedar Fair Entertainment says it’s adding four new roller coasters around the country next spring.

The Ohio-based amusement park chain says Knott’s Berry Farm near Los Angeles is getting a beach-themed dive coaster while California’s Great America in Santa Clara will open a single-rail coaster that includes three inversions.

The company’s flagship park, Cedar Point in northern Ohio, will debut Steel Vengeance that replaces the Mean Streak coaster. The new version tops 200 feet and will flip riders upside down.

Virginia’s Kings Dominion near Richmond also is reviving one of its former wooden coasters with Twisted Timbers.

The ride will have three inversions and overbanked turns.

Another addition is in store for Carowinds near Charlotte, North Carolina, where they’ll add a new children’s area with five rides.
