Ride the Solar Vortex on Little Nordica's tallest coaster, surging high into the Scandinavian skies on the beautiful luminescent plasma flows of the Northern Lights. Aurora is a 2nd generation B&M hypercoaster serving as the anchor attraction to the Sapmi midway, celebrating the iconic aurora borealis light shows that dance not only in the skies over Samiland, but all over Scandinavia, and its tall presence emulates the glowing green beams all across Sapmi, Gamla Stan, and Dalarna. Viewing the park from afar, the massive roller coaster's lighting package resemble the natural phenomenon dancing over Little Nordica.

A tall, graceful machine, Aurora's shore-hugging layout features an ampersand, high-speed overbank curve, and a splashdown alongside the bread and butter camelback hills of the B&M hyper ride system. While it is our tallest coaster, Aurora was designed as a smooth, powerful, fast ride in contrast to the smaller, nastier, more chaotic natures of Ragnarok and UnderCut. The layout interacts with many of the park's features, including a first hill soaring high over Stockholm and a dive into an ice cave parallel to the Sapmi midway.

In honor of Martin Luther King Day, we've elected to unveil to the public one of the park's two dark rides: Hall Of The Nobel Prize. A celebration of some of the greatest people who ever lived and their accomplishments, which includes Dr. King.

Themed after the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm's Gamla Stan, Hall of the Nobel Prize takes Little Nordica guests on a tour of Nobel Prize laurate history, celebrating human achievements such as the Civil Rights Movement, discovery of general relativity, and culture shift against the Vietnam War. As so many Nobel Prizes have been given out, many names you'll recognize as the greatest minds in history, but some might surprise you! In the spirit of innovation, riders will board one of several high-capacity omnimover pods, keeping riders embarking and disembarking at all times and ensuring the ride never has a bad wait.

Celebrate the greatest feats of humankind at Hall of the Nobel Prize when Little Nordica Theme Park hits the Steam workshop in January 2026.

How do you get to Little Nordica?

Built on a Lake Michigan island off the shore of Milwaukee, Little Nordica brings in its guests like the Vikings they'll be for the day! From a port in Milwaukee, guests will punch their tickets and passports, go through security, and board one of several water taxis that will shuttle them out onto the Great Lakes to new horizons. They will get exit their boat and proceed into the park via the main entrance on the Stockholm midway.

Stormy day with rough seas? Not a problem, Little Nordica also has an on-site parking garage! An old underwater utility tunnel from the island's copper refinery days is now a straight shot to the park, a mere 20 minute drive away from the port in Milwaukee. Take public roads there, leave your car in Preferred Parking, and enter through the Copenhagen Gate in Nyhavn, or just hop on a shuttle bus from our port if it's really busy that day.

Multiple ways exist to get to Little Nordica, and not all of them will work all days. Check the park's social media to see which transportation services are available on the day of your visit.

Little Nordica Theme Park comes to the Frontier Workshop in January 2026.

All Aboard! Little Nordica's island-sprawling layout is connected conveniently by rail through our very own Nordic Express! Woven of narrow gauge rails through the park's midways and Great Lakes island terrain, a beautiful train ride provides service from Sapmi to Dalarna. Inspired by Scandinavia's incredible rail service, guests can either fast-track between UnderCut and Aurora's ride plazas, or just take the loop and stay on for a scenic journey. Passing under three of our roller coasters, over a rapids ride, traversing four railroad crossings of the midway, and even riding alongside a rocky ridge on the Lake Michigan shore, we're certain to be cooking up one of the most beautiful train rides in the entire industry. Should Little Nordica be able to open in the freezing Milwaukee winters, we're very confident that this will be at least one ride we can operate.

Nordic Express opens with Little Nordica Theme Park in 2029.
