    I'm only 4 minutes into this video and I can already tell you that I feel rushed. You're not giving enough information for time to look at things. Not a great selling point for me to visit this site. The tour guide also seemed unenthusiastic. Not sure I would pay money for this tour. Pretty boring tour. We had season tickets, back in the day when they were affordable. We gave them up when the team was awful. Now, if you wan to go to a game, you need to either be rich, win the lottery or take out a loan. I'll just watch the game on TV for free.

    Von Roll VR101, the first detachable monocable ropeway system ever developed. Premiered in 1945 in Flims Laax Falera. Oldest VR101 in existence is 72 years old and unmodified. It's in Krupka, Czech Republic. What modern lifts have ever gone on to 72 years? Let alone even 50 years for that matter. I know the latest Doppelmayr Demon-Line lifts will never last that long before they malfunction. They are complicated as frick.

    It's criminal how Cedar Fair has dissected the park from where it was to where it is today. It's awful. To be honest I can't even go back anymore It's too painful. Orient Express and our parks other Iconic rides are gone. I'm sorry but the new Zambezi zinger while fun it's not the same. Steel for wood. Nope not even close to the same rides. And now with the six flags merger. I'll not be going back. I have more fun Trout fishing these days then fighting crowd's.

    This is one legendary woody at Worlds of Fun. It has since started becoming my favorite when growing up and already outgrowing the Wacky Worm (now called Cosmic Coaster) that I rode when I was a kid in the 90s. So glad they are working hard re-tracking it every now and then (just like any other typical woody). Up until I would become tall enough to outgrow the kiddie ones, I'm glad they decided to add in the headrests and change the lap bars to the ratcheting kinds to give the trains an A in safety features. It's a shame some other woodies like the Tornado and Outlaw at Adventureland and some others can't follow the same lead the Timber Wolf and some other ones with advanced safety features (including the Blue Streak at Cedar Point and The Racer and The Beast at Kings Island) do. The 560-degree upward spiraling helix was a nice start, but too bad it was making the ride bumpy for nearly 30 years of its life that it really needed to be replaced with the 70-degree banked hairpin turn in order to maintain its speed. For this ride's 35th anniversary, I got to buy this woody's namesake cap with the wolf ears that's a throwback to the original ones that were given to its first riders when it was new then, and some other Timber Wolf goodies including tees and other ones. I do sort of miss the original red color of the trains that matched with Little Red Riding Hood's cape, but otherwise repainting them to orange (like the color of a fox's fur) as well as the station house and queue line since last year would be to match with this ride's modernized logo they first introduced in 2018 when the old helix was replaced. This season, I went here four days straight on July 24-27 and would sometimes ride this on repeat.

    I worked at an amusement park and the original bumper cars was called Autobon and now it's called Fender Bender where the cars look like 56 chevys. One ride I would consider it historical. The park I worked at also has a cable car ride still in operation today. The cable car ride from the 1964 NY World Fair is still operating at Six Flags Great Adventure.

    Knoebels Amusement Resort still has in their kiddie land operations, the helecopters. Ironically enough, the Antique cars that were shown are the same type of model of vehicles that Knoebels uses as well. The Wild-cat tracking reminded me a lot of the Jet Star, which was also a Schwarzkopf Roller Coaster as well. And Knoebels had that coaster until around 91 or 92.

    Hello there! 😃 Found your channel today. Yes, definitely a lot of new changes going on in the park especially the Camp Snoopy area. I’m in the park almost every weekend for updates, merch and food. It’s sad that they’re not going through with the Snoopy Theater anymore. It’s going to be a resting place and possibly story time for the kiddos. Hope y’all had fun. Thanks for sharing! 🦋 Aloha 🌺🌈

    • @Mina_Fox_90
      @Mina_Fox_90 3 месяца назад

      They replaced the helix because it was actually making the ride bumpy for slowing it down until making its way to the top and that second steep drop contributing to high G-forces.

      @@j2adventures224 I take a compact digital camera when I'm in the mood to take photos or videos while strolling in the park, and small enough to fit in a cargo pocket. Very nice to see this and some other original rides still operating today. That Falcon's Flight in the background (which I've never ridden on and on the site of Le Carrousel that sat for 37 years before being removed in favor of The Grand Carrousel near the park entrance) sadly didn't last long in the park and was down more than it was running. While they de-listed FF on their website and on park maps, it was SBNO for the entire 2023 season and wondering if they removed that one for real.

      I wonder if that is the one that was @ the Seattle Center's Fun Forest? It was supposed to be sold to a Texas park (two are mentioned in the video). So I was just wondering. The first texas photo has cars just like the one from the FF but popular/historic rides usually find their way to the fair grounds. I would love to see the old wooden coaster get a RMC facelift. The nostalgia is gone and it's time. That's the roughest most "take your life into your own hands" coaster I've ever riden.

    I rode this back in June just a few days after its grand opening. This ride is really not all that bad. It is pretty wavy and stuff, but in order to be consistent with the original all-steel one. This is the first-of-a-kind wood-and-steel hybrid roller coaster built from the ground up by GCI, and with the spiral lift hill system like the original used. I got to buy my on-ride photo of this newbie. Hope you two had a nice ride on it.
