The park was originally founded as the Deer Park, a petting zoo, in 1956. In 1968, Roger Jourden purchased the park and began selling off the deer and purchasing attractions, eventually renaming it Deer Park Funland. In 1988, Jourden added the Wolverine Wildcat roller coaster. At this time, he changed the name to Michigan’s Adventure. In 1991 he opened WildWater Adventure, a water park. The park was bought by Cedar Fair Entertainment Co. in 2001 and has become a major Michigan attraction. Michigan’s Adventure is the only surviving thrill park in the state of Michigan. (Boblo Island park, west of Amherstburg, Ontario near Detroit, was closed in 1993. Although in Ontario rather than Michigan, it is often thought of as the last of the Detroit parks.) The park features seven roller coasters, including the critically acclaimed “Shivering Timbers” (a high speed wooden out and back roller coaster), a common “Corkscrew” coaster, and a suspended looping coaster, “Thunderhawk”. The park also includes a number of “flat rides” such as the “Scrambler” and “Flying Trapeze”. - Wikipedia
