The power is back on after an outage stranded people on rides at Valleyfair amusement park in Shakopee. Xcel Energy spokeswoman Mary Sandok says the power was restored at 6 p.m. Tuesday after being out for about an hour and a half.
Valleyfair will debut a new attraction, Planet Snoopy, when the Shakopee amusement park opens for the season Saturday. The $9 million attraction features Charlie Brown, Snoopy and other "Peanuts" characters created by Minnesota native Charles Schulz.
