These rides include the Antique Autos, which was formerly deconstructed to make room for the construction of Dinosaurs Alive!, the Tilt-a-Whirl, and the Scrambler. A new ride titled 'Northern Lights' will be the main attraction of the area, featuring a ride track over 300 feet in length and 42 feet in height. This family-oriented ride reaches speeds upwards of 43 miles per hour and resembles the Aurora Borealis at night with colored lights in shades of greens, blues, and purples. The Route 76 area features a full-service catering and picnic area, titled Picnic Point. Route 76 is located in the front of the park near Steel Venom, and opened on May 16, 2014.<ref>{{cite web|last=Valleyfair|title=Route 76 β New area to include classic rides & all-new family coaster|url=https://www.valleyfair.com/what-s-new|publisher=Valleyfair|access-date=1 May 2014}}</ref> In 2017, North Star, a 230-foot swing ride, was opened near the front of Route 76 near Tilt-a-Whirl. Debuting in 2018, 'Delirious', a 70-foot-tall looping coaster is the newest addition to Route 76. ===Soak City=== {{main|Soak City (Valleyfair)}} Soak City is a [[water park]] included with the price of admission to Valleyfair. Rides include a lazy river, a wave pool, and water slides. Newly added slides such as "Breakers Plunge" were added as part of the 2015 Waterpark expansion. Other Cedar Fair parks have a water park with the same name.
