GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - An amusement park in northeast Wisconsin will add three new rides over the next two years after receiving a private donation worth more than $1 million.

Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay is expected to install two parent-child rides this year and a larger ride designed for older kids next year. The Green Bay Park Committee voted Wednesday night to accept the donation of the rides from Friends of Bay Beach.

WLUK-TV (http://bit.ly/1AiFDgs ) reports city officials hope the new rides will bring $1.1 million in revenue throughout the first five years of operation.

The park also plans to use $631,000 to install a second train ride and make other upgrades.

The city says 6.8 million ride tickets were sold at the park last year.
