It’s honestly mind boggling why Worlds of Fun can’t get a new coaster. Such an underrated park. Honestly with how much land they have that should be a huge selling point for Cedar Fair. They need some new attention drawn to it
the selling point for WoF is the haunted attractions. I know previous years we topped Knotts scary farm in how good our mazes, zones, and actors are. If you want to see this park shoulder to shoulder packed, come to haunt.
I've really been wanting to make a quick coaster trip where I fly into KCMO, hop over to WoF, then make the drive down to Silver Dollar City in Branson the next day.
There is a lot of space - but there are also caves under and around that area (subtropolis businesses), so they can't have too many more big attractions because it could cause the caves to collapse.
Not sure whats worse. Cedar Fair getting one roller coaster a year leaving many of their smaller parks neglected or six flags getting rides to their new parks but copying and pasting cheap attractions everywhere.
The worst thing is learning about old rides that you never got to ride. Like the Schussboomer, the Orient Express, the Sceamroller/Extremeroller, the Zambezi Zinger, the Thunderhawk. If you wanna learn more search up “worlds of fun gone but not forgotten” it’s the first one. It has a list of all ride that they had and got rid of.
you must be a fellow Kansas Citian! ..my first job was at WOF in the early 80s. 16 years old, and when you're off the clock, the park was yours! Schussboomer..in Scandanavia..no deaths?..amazing! The Orient Express was huge when I worked there in '80 to '83..the Screamroller..then EXtremeroller. in Americana...The Zambezi Zinger. in Africa...(they shipped it off to somewhere..it's still awesome there now)..
Taylor, thought I too would love to see a new coaster here, I don't think it would happen, at least nothing major. They, along with Michigan's Adventure, are the only Cedar Fair parks to get less that 1 million visitors annually. That's not a lot! Valleyfair gets way more visitors than them. They already have the big coasters to attract the GP and a solid enough collection with Prowler, Patriot, and Mamba to the point where Cedar Fair just wouldn't need to add any more large coaster additions here.
CoasterChaos Wikipedia needs to update their data, it seems. Either way, they still don't get that many visitors and a new coaster wouldn't attract that many people.
Rolly Coaster I wouldn't use Wikipedia as a reliable source. They get most of their attendance during Haunt. I know they break 1 million around right before Haunt.
Rolly Coaster I know also that the 2009 season brought record attendance that year Prowler was built. Prowler was a big deal as it won the golden ticket award beating out other rides such as Diamondback and Manta. Therefore it has been proven that adding a coaster here does raise the attendance.
I absolutely LOVE Worlds of Fun! I've been to Worlds of Fun a dozen times! The last time I went to Worlds of Fun I rode the Mamba 20 times in a row! The Mamba and The Patriot are my favorites!
This is my home park and unfortunately they almost never run 2 cars on any of the rides. And I agree they don’t utilize the space well enough. They haven’t added much since I’ve been going there which has been since about 2010
A REALLY important aspect that got left out is that the park was inspired by "Around the World in 80 Days", so each section of the park is themed after a part of the world. For example, Mamba, Prowler, and Fury of the Nile are in "Africa," Patriot is in "Americana", and Spinning Dragons, Panda Express, and the fake Koi pond you saw are in "The Orient." It adds a lot of fun when you're walking around the park.
I think the reason you didn't think Timber Wolf wasn't too bad was because it's been almost completely retracked by GCI in many sections, and for 2018, GCI will be adding a 70 degree banked turn near the end to replace the double helix. So the ride will be a bit shorter, but I think that'll be a pretty good improvement than that helix.
Tony Kim my home park, Six Flags St. Louis, did the same thing with their wooden coaster The Boss. It had a 570 degree helix at the end, but was replaced with a u-turn.
Worlds of fun use to have water misters everywhere but one year they just went away. So I came up with the theory that WOF took the misters out to attract more guests to the OOF. But it doesn't bother me for I only like the WOF part and it keeps guests away.
It was a nice roller coaster, but they had to take it down because it needed maintenance way more than any other ride. I believe the addition and promotion of the Mamba since it was new then and the infamous July 1999 incident would be what contributed to the collapse of the OE’s reliability.
Visited in 2015 checking off Patriot and Mamba from my list. Didn't visit the water park. Lines were short. I don't think this park gets huge crowds on the dry side. What you said at the end about them needing another major coaster could be said about all 3 step child parks at the bottom of my Cedar Fair list. The parks at the bottom are great, but they are neglected by Cedar Fair when it comes to new attractions. Cedar Point - Soak City Expansion Carowinds - County Fair (4 new flats) Kings Island - Mystic Timbers (GCI) Kings Dominion - Planet Snoopy Expansion Dorney Park - Dodgem (bumper cars) Kaleidoscope (Troika) California's Great America - Vortex Floorless Conversion (Patriot) Knotts Berry Farm - Soak City Expansion, Sol Spin Top Scan, Ghost Town Alive Worlds of Fun - Mustang Runner (Trioka) Falcon's Flight (Huss Condor) Valley Fair - Northstar (Star Flyer) Michigan's Adventure - Half Pint Paradise (Kiddie Water Park) Cedar Fair was supposed to re-do the entrance at all their parks and have a major coaster flying across the front like they did at CP and Carowinds. But this idea has fizzled. Hopefully they get on the RMC bandwagon and put a unique coaster in each park. Six Flags was doing this but they stopped, what a mistake. SFoG, SFA, SFNJ, and SFStl all deserve their RMC. That parody with the boomerang would work here, except you could use cards that say RMC while the others have a Joker on them.
this is my home park and i agree that cedar fair could easily make this a super nice park possibly the next flag ship park what with all the land they could easily fit in a nice launch coaster a giga an rmc and a thrill ride expansion and still have room to spare a launched wing coaster would be phenomenal and would fit theme with each section during haunt the park is on 3 train operations and even with 3 trains i waited 2 hours to ride Mamba but a night ride on Mamba and Prowler is totally worth the entry price alone also we have one of the most under rated haunts ever ive been told by many park guests when i was employed as a haunt scarer that we are better than Knotts and Carowinds. i love your vids and thanks for enjoying my home park im glad u didnt bomb it like with some park reviews lol
Why would Cedar Fair actually invest money in this place? It isn't Cedar Point! Lol. I love this place, I love all the classic flat rides like Mustang Runner, Falcon's Flight, Skyliner, Bamboozler, Finnish Fling, Scrambler, Zulu, and Cyclone Sam's.
With the amount of land this park has they could get a Launched Blitz coaster like cheetah hunt or if they would want to go with something cheaper then a custom premier rides coaster (Long ride version) would be a great fit.
I work @ Schlitterbahn texas and the Bees also love our refill drink stations..I've learned to know how to deal with them..I just stick my hand out and close my eyes while I'm refilling..lol 😮😂😊
Just went to this park a week ago, and what an awesome top three. This was my first trip as an enthusiast and the first coaster I rode was my favorite on the whole Missouri trip. Prowler was such a powerhouse, and very re-rideable.
i live in kc. they do, on packed days , run multiple cars. they really do need another roller coaster. there isn't usually bees in the coke lol. the food is soooooo good. they usually keep it clean. locals know theyre way everywhere in this park.
Elitch Gardens up here in Denver has a place called "Hawg 'N' Sauce". They have Pulled Pork Nachos and they are the bomb! They also give you sweet or spicy bbq sauce to put on it, it's great.
Me and my brothers biggest memory of this park was a carnival worker repeating to people walking by, "Are you having fun at World's of Fun???". Thank god I live closer to Cedar Point now cause this park needed something new BADLY.
I live within a reasonable distance and I quit going three years ago. Outside of The Patriot, The Mamba, The Prowler, and The Detonator the park blows. All the land available and it sits empty, especially most of the land where The Orient Express sat.
Six Flags Great America has the El Nacho, it is a giant nacho stack with beef, melted cheese, and a ton more on it! It is at JBS Barbecue and Sports bar right by Raging Bulls entrance
I happen to work at Schlitterbahn Water Park that is on the Kansas side of Kansas for 4 years. That they did had extra land they where going to do a year round shopping center resort. Now they lost entrance with it. Now it is mostly putting area full of car dealerships. They do have a BBQ Stand that opens on the Weekends that served BBQ Nachos and They focus on the Schlitterbahns in Texas more then the one outside of Texas that is in Kansas City.
Just visited WOF for the first time this year. Lots of construction was done on Timberwolf to make it more smooth and they even added a new overbank turn. I am a huge fan of the new ride, I might even say it’s as good as Prowler.
I love this park! I went here on Sunday before the eclipse. Prowler is better than Mystic Timbers and Thunderhead as I rank them, and undoubtably the best coaster in the park. Mamba has an awesome first half, including perhaps the best near miss element in the world (that support on the turnaround feels so close!) however I was dissapointed in the second half, as the bunny hills were airtimeless. Still a fun ride though. Patriot is the first coaster to truely cause me to grey out. After that drop through the first 2 inversions, I greyed out, every time. I also found Timberwolf to be not even close to as bad as I have heard. Oceans of Fun is a pretty cool waterpark. Not as good as the stand alone waterparks, like Raging Waves or Shliterban, but one of the better waterparks tied to an amusement park.
Even the Zoo has maps. Gotta use em. It's been a cpl of decades since I've been at Worlds of Fun. I've been to the Zoo a number of times. I still grab a map. Just an opinion. I enjoyed your video on my hometown Park. And thank you for it. 🌹
We always go there for band! It's so much fun! Our band teacher is the BEST we get the ENTIRE DAY OFF SCHOOL but we legit only spend one hour actually playing. The rest of the day we just do whatever. 😂😂
For some extra space they could add, they should consider a couple new sections like Amazonia to reflect on the culture of tropical South America and Australia hence the name of the country that’s part of Oceania and its culture. For the 2019 season, the portion of Americana that has the Timber Wolf and other rides and attractions based on what looks like rural America or the Western United States with woody vibes was spun-off and newly named “Wild West” while what remained in the existing Americana section reflects more to the Eastern United States like Virginia, DC, and New York. And where the Mamba roller coaster sits could be spun off from Africa and newly named “Mamba Mountain”. The Gateway Gardens near the park entrance was once called the International Plaza after being spun-off from Scandinavia. The Orient that reflects on Asian culture in the past few years was renamed to “East Asia” due to the fact that its signature roller coaster the Orient Express had long been axed after the 2003 season due to high maintenance costs that they couldn’t keep budgeting.
Great review of my home park. I wish I went on a dead day because it is always crowded when I go. They even had bees in the soda fountains on the closing day! and yes we need a new roller coaster And surprisingly enough, Timber Wolf is my favorite I don't know why I just like it a lot.
now that i think about it worlds of fun or atleast the surrounding landscape including over by the ameristar and jaegers sit on a massive network of limestone caves that were dug out during kansas citys early years so i wonder if the weight of a bunch of rides plus caves is keeping wof from being amazing and maybe thats why the rides are so spread out
One thing about me that’s different from everyone else is that I don’t like the feeling you get in your stomach on a drop but I still ride hypers and gigas, which is something I would appreciate at worlds of fun
I will say that, this being my home park, they rarely don’t run 2 trains, no matter how crowded Another thing is that, you mentioned you don’t need a full day. My family gets season passes every year. It is only about 90 dollars and a regular pass is 50-60. Since we go a lot it’s worth it. We normally get there at opening, normally 10, and leave by 1. From about 10-11:30 it is dead, after that it fills up. So being able to go every weekend it is fine to go there, ride all the rides, and leave by the time it fills up. Normally get food on the way back
I live in Kansas City. Worlds of Fun is fine, I just wish Cedar Fair would invest more into it. A new rollercoaster, some facelifts around the park, ect would be much appreciated. Timberwolf has good days and bad days it seems like. Sometimes when I ride it, it's fine. Other times it's just painful. Maybe it depends on car, train, ect.
they are adding a new rollercoaster! bringing back Zambezi Zinger i’m super excited they had it a long long time ago and sold it to colombia but i’m only 11 so i was not a thing then so i never rode it in super excited coming in 2023! i’m lucky i live near it about 1 hour and a half away i’m excited next time i go ima ride my first upside down rollercoaster boomerang and maybe patriot after that and then i would have rode all the rollercoasters after!
Coaster Studios Yeah, I kind of would be surprised as well as not be surprised. I would be surprised as most attractions Liseberg removes do end up going to smaller European parks, however Screamscape did mention that Kanonen was apparently sold to a North American park, so we should definitely keep our eyes open to see any signs of Kanonen in any park.
The Water park, is VERY VERY good. They use to be seperate tickets and were worth it, now that its a one tickets for both parts, the value is really insane. As far as Water Parks go, its collection of slides and pools is truly Elite. Better than Knotts water park and Cedar points water park. So I think its the best Cedar Point Water park. I think Worlds of Fun is a must park as is if you do the Water park too. I actually think Cyclone Sams was a very fun Flat ride masquareding as a dark ride. Mambe I think is a truly elite coaster too. Worth the visit if you never been for that Credit for sure.
This is my home park they only run two trains on certain rides due to past accidents, my mom also works there and even she agrees that they should get a new ride.
Taylor, I think you should come to new Hampshire and do reviews of our parks. There's Santa's Village, Story Land, and Canobie Lake Park, just to name a few
It's my hometown park and I love it... I do however! Wish they had more mister fans also... and a couple more water rides... and a virtual reality ride like the "Galactica" at Alton towers in the United kingdom.
i visited worlds of fun yesterday and during my trip to the park multiple employees mentioned that they were told by park management that worlds of fun will be adding a new coaster in 2018. the description i was given spoke of an inverted coaster 2 vertical loops to corkscrews and a chain lift the manufacturer is unknown (the elements in the ride sounds off but the rumor of a new coaster sounded very real :i was only given description by one employee:) what are your thoughts on this?
This review helped me solidify my decision to come this park just last week. I agree that it is a nice little park that could use extra attention from Cedar Fair. Also, if you read the reviews of the park on facebook, you will see they are mixed and the low reviews are over petty things.
Thank you for the review. I will be visiting this park for the first time ever this June and was interested in hearing your review. I also bought the dining plan for my trip. We have only one day and will be going in the park for the rides, not the water park unless we get done real quick.
I am such a member of the General Public now. For some reason RUclips recommended a Coaster Studios video a few weeks back, and since then I've watched some Coaster Studios videos. When I was a little kid a visit to an amusement park was always a highlight of my summer. Usually Worlds of Fun, which was at most a 15 minute drive away from where I lived the first decade of my life. If we took a family vacation to the Branson area, then we would do a day at Silver Dollar City instead. But anyway, as a little kid after we'd do our day or two at an amusement park I would keep looking at the park map for weeks afterward, wishing I could go back. Then around the turn of the millennium, despite never being much of a computer gamer otherwise, I did waste a huge number of hours playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2. So it shocks me a little now to realize that I've only ever been to 3 amusement parks in my life. Worlds of Fun, Silver Dollar City, and a day at Six Flags over Texas in the mid 1990s on a family vacation to central Texas when I was a teenager. (I'm 37 now.) Plus some carnival rides at fairs when I was younger, and I did an alpine coaster at I believe Estes Park in Colorado when I was in my early 20s. I was going to go to Coney Island and ride the Cyclone and Wonder Wheel on one trip to NYC, but then I realized after I was in NYC that Coney Island amusement parks weren't open on weekdays until a week or two after my trip would be over, and I was going home before the weekend. It shocks me a little that after loving amusement parks so much as a little kid, as an adult there have been years where I've never made it to an amusement park at all. Probably because there have been years when I have always been at one extreme or the other of either always working or always being broke, and I'm a bachelor without a huge circle of friends, and it's not as much fun to go to an amusement park alone. And I am now more subject to motion sickness than I was as a kid. I will take Dramamine or other medicines like it throughout the day when I do go to an amusement park, and I think I'm still mostly okay with roller coasters, since coasters have a variety of different G force sensations. But some of the flat rides that only do one thing, repetitively, can make me very green in the gills and even toss my cookies. It's kind of embarrassing to get on a ride that I would have loved as a kid, and that wouldn't normally be described as especially extreme, like a swinging ship, and throwing up on the ride.
I think Worlds of Fun was so much better when I was a kid. I'm sure that's partly because I was so much more easily impressed as a child, and now I'm looking back on it with nostalgia goggles. But I think there is also at least the possibility that an objective outsider would say that in the 1980s until at least the mid 90s that WOF management put more money into the park, relative to inflation, than Cedar Fair does now. Worlds of Fun used to be owned by a company founded by Lamar Hunt, the guy that owned the Kansas City Chiefs, and it and Oceans of Fun were the only parks they operated. Now I feel like Cedar Fair just sees WOF as one more park they own among many. WOF's current entrance used to be only a side entrance. The side entrance was the only one that you could walk to your car from. If your parents were cheapskates, you could get your hand stamped at the side entrance, go to your car to get your cooler, have a picnic lunch in a wooded picnic area between two parking lots, and then go back into the park. But the main entrance was in Americana, about where the Steelhawk windseeker is now. You had to ride a tram from the parking lot to the main entrance or vice versa. But it was more in keeping with the Around The World in 80 Days park theming that you would begin and end your day in America. Now it seems a little strange to have a tree shaded fountain square with a bunch of shops and food stalls around it, nowhere near the park entrance. But I think the park was themed a little more in general when I was a kid compared to now. There was a kids ride called Bounce-a-roos that had a kangaroo theme that was put in the Europe section, as there was no Australia section, but for the most part they tried to keep things themed to the area of the park they were in, and I'm not sure Cedar Fair cares as much.
But you are absolutely right about the open space around the park. Some of the open space around the park has never had anything there, but some space used to have roller coasters, now removed and never replaced. When I was a kid, the Orient Express was a huge deal. Wikipedia tells me it had some roller coaster firsts when it first opened. I will admit that the last few years before they took it out it was getting pretty rough, the kind of ride that could turn your ears beet red from banging into the sides of the restraint system. When the ride was younger, I don't think it was anywhere near as rough. But I don't know that it was ever worse than a brand new Boomerang, plus being a full circuit ride it was more fun.
When I was a kid, I was always tall for my age, and there was a time when I was tall enough to meet some height requirement for adult rides but I couldn't read yet. During this time, for one visit I was really excited to go and ride roller coasters. That morning, I rode a steel corkscrew coaster where Timber Wolf is now, and afterwards I wasn't really sure if I liked it, but after I had been all excited to ride roller coasters that morning, I wasn't going to admit to that. So I said that I had liked it. Then, that night after sundown my Dad tricked me into riding the Orient Express. I can still sort of remember seeing the Chinese Dragon logo lit up in the head chopper element as the train left the station before the chain lift catches the train, and then some of the loops in the dark. But after I got off that ride, Dad asked me what I thought, and I left no doubt about how I did not like it at that age, and it was a few years before I would ride any roller coaster again. But I am glad I started riding coasters again after a few years, and got to ride (and love!) the Orient Express again before it started to deteriorate and get really rough. Anyhow, the spinning roller coaster and the Patriot are both nearish to where the Orient Express's old footprint was, but I have read that neither ride actually occupy any of the Orient Express's footprint. Not much of it, anyway. They have utilized the Express's station house for Halloween season haunted houses, but otherwise they took out the Orient Express but didn't put anything in in its physical place.
The Zambezi Zinger was a great family ride. I regret I didn't start riding it earlier, but after my early experience on the Orient Express there were a few years where all roller coasters intimidated me equally. Anyway, the Zinger was a great ride for the whole family. Certainly not extreme, but everyone could ride it. Being built in the trees helped make it more fun than it might otherwise be if it were out in the open. The tunnel at the end was a huge plus. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it isn't pretty much the same ride as the Whizzer at Six Flags Great America. But the Zambezi Zinger never had any kind of restraints at all, not even seatbelts. It was simply positive Gs keeping riders in the seats. Worlds of Fun doesn't really have any kind of family coaster today. Maybe Spinning Dragons, but some might be put off by the spinning. Mamba is smooth as glass and has no inversions, but some might be scared off just by its height. I happen to think Prowler is a great ride, a completely uncontroversial opinion, but I don't know if it would qualify as a family coaster. And WOF has never really put anything in the space that the Zambezi Zinger occupied. I guess when the Boomerang first opened, the line opened onto the midway where the Zinger's did, but the Boomerang itself never occupied any of the Zinger's footprint. And they have moved the Boomerang's entrance since then. The Zinger's station house has been used by haunted houses, and I believe that now Dinosaurs Alive may occupy some or all of the Zinger's footprint. But I'm sure that if it were up to subscribers of Coaster Studios, it would be no contest to have a ride there instead of animatronic dinosaurs that require an additional fee to see.
Timber Wolf was a huge deal when it opened, and was a lot of fun for the first few years of its existence. I can remember one time I went to WOF with a church group on a Sunday afternoon and it rained off and on all day long. We'd ride water rides, and the splashes from the water rides would be warmer than the raindrops. But anyway, we got on the Timber Wolf and the sky really opened up. There's no way to avoid the rain going up a lift hill, face up into the rain. And the rain drops sure stung going at speed. But the ride seemed faster in the rain, and I had a lot of fun. I was completely soaked, but it was sure fun. But after the first few years, Timber Wolf has gotten rough. I have ridden it when it seemed a little rough, but within what you'd expect on a wooden coaster, and other times when I've gotten off of it and decided that it ought to be renamed the Assault and Battery. I suppose it just depends on where the ride is in its maintenance cycle, and I suppose what the temperature and humidity is doing to the timber that day. But the fear of a bad ride that would take some time to recover from the resulting head and body aches can make one think twice before giving it a chance. I hope the Prowler ages more gracefully than the Timber Wolf has.
Taylor byee I much appreciate your work and wanted to ask u two question . My first is are u planning on doing to do six flags magic mountain vs cedar point 2017 edition . Also are u planning on doing a six flags magic mountain five year 2.0 plan 2018-2022 if you can answer this question it will make my day .
WOF is my hometown amusement park. They really could use some new big rides.
Susan Palmore or BlueBoy 4 My home park too they need a launch coaster Badly!
Same but I would like a launched wing coaster like thunderbird
Same
Worlds of fun is the best!!! I litterally live right town the street
Susan Palmore or BlueBoy 4 sammme
It’s honestly mind boggling why Worlds of Fun can’t get a new coaster. Such an underrated park. Honestly with how much land they have that should be a huge selling point for Cedar Fair. They need some new attention drawn to it
I agree it’s my home park and needs something new and something to boost their popularity
Edit: spelling error
its also my home park and it hits me hard to see how bad people say it is when it gets no attention from cedar fair.
guess what :)
Guess what? They’re bringing back the Zambezi zinger!
This is my home park. I love it. So many memories. I've been going since I was a teenager and I'm in my 40's.
the selling point for WoF is the haunted attractions. I know previous years we topped Knotts scary farm in how good our mazes, zones, and actors are. If you want to see this park shoulder to shoulder packed, come to haunt.
I've really been wanting to make a quick coaster trip where I fly into KCMO, hop over to WoF, then make the drive down to Silver Dollar City in Branson the next day.
AdventuresByJake I watch all of your videos and would love to see a video going to my home park!
AdventuresByJake and possibly hit up Six Flags St. Louis as well.
My home park is WOF and imma just say it’s a nice park but definitely do to Silver Dollar City as it’s a must do
Fun fact, WOF always runs 2 trains on the Mamba. Not sure why but I go once a week during the summer and they always have 2 trains running on it.
WE HAVE THE SAME PROFILE PIC!!! HOW?!!??!!??!
It’s popular
This is super old 😂but actually on a lot of the rides I’ve noticed 2
There is a lot of space - but there are also caves under and around that area (subtropolis businesses), so they can't have too many more big attractions because it could cause the caves to collapse.
BBQ is the best in KC!
Hell yeah! Of course we got BBQ nachos!
RIP that man's drumstick
Caleb Winfrey Lol just saw that 😂
Caleb Winfrey where
lol he tried it
This is my home park
Same here
Michael Dickey same
same
It’s been confirmed. The creator of Kirby lives in Kansas City, Missouri.
Same
Its really fun to vist during the events like haunt or winter wonderland. I almost always visit at night due to how hot it can get here
Not sure whats worse. Cedar Fair getting one roller coaster a year leaving many of their smaller parks neglected or six flags getting rides to their new parks but copying and pasting cheap attractions everywhere.
Rubixsmike lol true
Well, running one train is better than running no trains! ;)
Vortex Luigi Rosalina 55 It's a joke
true and sometimes for the mamba they run two
The worst thing is learning about old rides that you never got to ride. Like the Schussboomer, the Orient Express, the Sceamroller/Extremeroller, the Zambezi Zinger, the Thunderhawk. If you wanna learn more search up “worlds of fun gone but not forgotten” it’s the first one. It has a list of all ride that they had and got rid of.
you must be a fellow Kansas Citian! ..my first job was at WOF in the early 80s. 16 years old, and when you're off the clock, the park was yours! Schussboomer..in Scandanavia..no deaths?..amazing! The Orient Express was huge when I worked there in '80 to '83..the Screamroller..then EXtremeroller. in Americana...The Zambezi Zinger. in Africa...(they shipped it off to somewhere..it's still awesome there now)..
Taylor, thought I too would love to see a new coaster here, I don't think it would happen, at least nothing major. They, along with Michigan's Adventure, are the only Cedar Fair parks to get less that 1 million visitors annually. That's not a lot! Valleyfair gets way more visitors than them. They already have the big coasters to attract the GP and a solid enough collection with Prowler, Patriot, and Mamba to the point where Cedar Fair just wouldn't need to add any more large coaster additions here.
Rolly Coaster WOF gets about 1.2 Million. Up until this year I believe WOF had higher attendance than VF too.
CoasterChaos Wikipedia needs to update their data, it seems. Either way, they still don't get that many visitors and a new coaster wouldn't attract that many people.
Rolly Coaster I wouldn't use Wikipedia as a reliable source. They get most of their attendance during Haunt. I know they break 1 million around right before Haunt.
It's definitely 1.2 mil+. Valleyfair gets less than that.
Rolly Coaster I know also that the 2009 season brought record attendance that year Prowler was built. Prowler was a big deal as it won the golden ticket award beating out other rides such as Diamondback and Manta. Therefore it has been proven that adding a coaster here does raise the attendance.
I absolutely LOVE Worlds of Fun! I've been to Worlds of Fun a dozen times! The last time I went to Worlds of Fun I rode the Mamba 20 times in a row! The Mamba and The Patriot are my favorites!
This is my home park and unfortunately they almost never run 2 cars on any of the rides. And I agree they don’t utilize the space well enough. They haven’t added much since I’ve been going there which has been since about 2010
A REALLY important aspect that got left out is that the park was inspired by "Around the World in 80 Days", so each section of the park is themed after a part of the world. For example, Mamba, Prowler, and Fury of the Nile are in "Africa," Patriot is in "Americana", and Spinning Dragons, Panda Express, and the fake Koi pond you saw are in "The Orient." It adds a lot of fun when you're walking around the park.
"I'll have more reviews out shortly"
We only got a Mamba review :(
I think the reason you didn't think Timber Wolf wasn't too bad was because it's been almost completely retracked by GCI in many sections, and for 2018, GCI will be adding a 70 degree banked turn near the end to replace the double helix. So the ride will be a bit shorter, but I think that'll be a pretty good improvement than that helix.
Tony Kim my home park, Six Flags St. Louis, did the same thing with their wooden coaster The Boss. It had a 570 degree helix at the end, but was replaced with a u-turn.
Still needs RMC, still rough even after massive retracking.
Worlds of fun use to have water misters everywhere but one year they just went away. So I came up with the theory that WOF took the misters out to attract more guests to the OOF. But it doesn't bother me for I only like the WOF part and it keeps guests away.

the only positive part, is now you don’t have to pay for two separate tickets. you can just walk on in to Ocean’s.
I used to work Orient Express. Summer, 83. I miss that ride :)
It was a nice roller coaster, but they had to take it down because it needed maintenance way more than any other ride. I believe the addition and promotion of the Mamba since it was new then and the infamous July 1999 incident would be what contributed to the collapse of the OE’s reliability.
The mamba was my very first rollercoaster, and I loved it!
With the Zambezi Zinger coming, and the Mamba mid brake being tweaked, it’s made it even better than I remember in the past
Visited in 2015 checking off Patriot and Mamba from my list. Didn't visit the water park. Lines were short. I don't think this park gets huge crowds on the dry side.
What you said at the end about them needing another major coaster could be said about all 3 step child parks at the bottom of my Cedar Fair list. The parks at the bottom are great, but they are neglected by Cedar Fair when it comes to new attractions.
Cedar Point - Soak City Expansion
Carowinds - County Fair (4 new flats)
Kings Island - Mystic Timbers (GCI)
Kings Dominion - Planet Snoopy Expansion
Dorney Park - Dodgem (bumper cars) Kaleidoscope (Troika)
California's Great America - Vortex Floorless Conversion (Patriot)
Knotts Berry Farm - Soak City Expansion, Sol Spin Top Scan, Ghost Town Alive
Worlds of Fun - Mustang Runner (Trioka) Falcon's Flight (Huss Condor)
Valley Fair - Northstar (Star Flyer)
Michigan's Adventure - Half Pint Paradise (Kiddie Water Park)
Cedar Fair was supposed to re-do the entrance at all their parks and have a major coaster flying across the front like they did at CP and Carowinds. But this idea has fizzled. Hopefully they get on the RMC bandwagon and put a unique coaster in each park. Six Flags was doing this but they stopped, what a mistake. SFoG, SFA, SFNJ, and SFStl all deserve their RMC. That parody with the boomerang would work here, except you could use cards that say RMC while the others have a Joker on them.
Trust me... it is very busy!
I went to California's great america in the middle of summer and it wasn't as busy as worlds of fun in the spring!
PastTime777 when worlds of fun opened in spring 2017 there were 2 new rides troika and condor
PastTime777 this park gets so busy sometimes on the dry side.
Classic_hil last time i went in summer when the park opened and the line for patriot was like 10 people and the line for prowler had like 6
PastTime777 btw michigans adventure isnt good
Would love to see a Valleyfair review
this is my home park and i agree that cedar fair could easily make this a super nice park possibly the next flag ship park what with all the land they could easily fit in a nice launch coaster a giga an rmc and a thrill ride expansion and still have room to spare a launched wing coaster would be phenomenal and would fit theme with each section during haunt the park is on 3 train operations and even with 3 trains i waited 2 hours to ride Mamba but a night ride on Mamba and Prowler is totally worth the entry price alone also we have one of the most under rated haunts ever ive been told by many park guests when i was employed as a haunt scarer that we are better than Knotts and Carowinds. i love your vids and thanks for enjoying my home park im glad u didnt bomb it like with some park reviews lol
World's of fun is my home town amusement park and I go all the time just because I think I'll go on a roller coaster but I wont cause I'm scared
Why would Cedar Fair actually invest money in this place? It isn't Cedar Point! Lol. I love this place, I love all the classic flat rides like Mustang Runner, Falcon's Flight, Skyliner, Bamboozler, Finnish Fling, Scrambler, Zulu, and Cyclone Sam's.
Scream roller bro! EXT.
Cyclone Sam makes me sick. the first and only time i went on it, i almost vomited. never again
The Neglected park in the cedar fair chain that has more than two good coasters.
VF has renegade and Excalibur. But point taken
@@tyler1783 renegade is in my top 15 coasters ever... i know its a weird choice
@@tyler1783 i like excalibur and the morgan kinda
I have the dining plan for Knott's Berry Farm and I cant use it at Panda Express, do you know why
Not every park includes chain restaurants. Up until the 2017 season, Kings Dominion didn't include Chick Fil A and Panda Express
The reason bbq was unique there is because kc is known for bbq
With the amount of land this park has they could get a Launched Blitz coaster like cheetah hunt or if they would want to go with something cheaper then a custom premier rides coaster (Long ride version) would be a great fit.
I work @ Schlitterbahn texas and the Bees also love our refill drink stations..I've learned to know how to deal with them..I just stick my hand out and close my eyes while I'm refilling..lol 😮😂😊
Just went to this park a week ago, and what an awesome top three. This was my first trip as an enthusiast and the first coaster I rode was my favorite on the whole Missouri trip. Prowler was such a powerhouse, and very re-rideable.
i live in kc. they do, on packed days , run multiple cars. they really do need another roller coaster. there isn't usually bees in the coke lol. the food is soooooo good. they usually keep it clean. locals know theyre way everywhere in this park.
This and Dorney are very well rounded, clean, and family parks. Cedar Fair really needs to pay attention to them
They need an rmc ground up woodie with two inversions
I have the same top three ... I worked there in the late 70s ... I go with my oldest daughter when I can ... We love coasters 🥰
I think this park will get the next RMC raptor coaster. It'll most likely be a custom layout in my eyes.
Elitch Gardens up here in Denver has a place called "Hawg 'N' Sauce". They have Pulled Pork Nachos and they are the bomb! They also give you sweet or spicy bbq sauce to put on it, it's great.
Me and my brothers biggest memory of this park was a carnival worker repeating to people walking by, "Are you having fun at World's of Fun???". Thank god I live closer to Cedar Point now cause this park needed something new BADLY.
I live within a reasonable distance and I quit going three years ago. Outside of The Patriot, The Mamba, The Prowler, and The Detonator the park blows. All the land available and it sits empty, especially most of the land where The Orient Express sat.
I was there back in 1988. I miss the Orient Express, the Zippy Zinger.
Six Flags Great America has the El Nacho, it is a giant nacho stack with beef, melted cheese, and a ton more on it! It is at JBS Barbecue and Sports bar right by Raging Bulls entrance
I happen to work at Schlitterbahn Water Park that is on the Kansas side of Kansas for 4 years. That they did had extra land they where going to do a year round shopping center resort. Now they lost entrance with it. Now it is mostly putting area full of car dealerships. They do have a BBQ Stand that opens on the Weekends that served BBQ Nachos and They focus on the Schlitterbahns in Texas more then the one outside of Texas that is in Kansas City.
This is my home park!! Wooo!! But they got rid of the finnish fling ;(
Such a underrated park, wish they did more.
Just visited WOF for the first time this year. Lots of construction was done on Timberwolf to make it more smooth and they even added a new overbank turn. I am a huge fan of the new ride, I might even say it’s as good as Prowler.
I visited the park with my friends last year. We really enjoyed most of the sites and it was such an amazing experience
I love this park! I went here on Sunday before the eclipse. Prowler is better than Mystic Timbers and Thunderhead as I rank them, and undoubtably the best coaster in the park. Mamba has an awesome first half, including perhaps the best near miss element in the world (that support on the turnaround feels so close!) however I was dissapointed in the second half, as the bunny hills were airtimeless. Still a fun ride though. Patriot is the first coaster to truely cause me to grey out. After that drop through the first 2 inversions, I greyed out, every time. I also found Timberwolf to be not even close to as bad as I have heard. Oceans of Fun is a pretty cool waterpark. Not as good as the stand alone waterparks, like Raging Waves or Shliterban, but one of the better waterparks tied to an amusement park.
my home park and its 2.5 hours away and this video was 4 years ago and nothing has changed its a fun time but cant say i had worlds of it
Hey Taylor, which do you like better, the drop tower at Kings Dominion or the drop tower at Kings Island?
Even the Zoo has maps. Gotta use em. It's been a cpl of decades since I've been at Worlds of Fun. I've been to the Zoo a number of times. I still grab a map. Just an opinion. I enjoyed your video on my hometown Park. And thank you for it. 🌹
If you enjoy this park, you will definitely enjoy Canada's Wonderland when you go this summer.
We always go there for band! It's so much fun! Our band teacher is the BEST we get the ENTIRE DAY OFF SCHOOL but we legit only spend one hour actually playing. The rest of the day we just do whatever. 😂😂
Possibly visiting next year, Dorney is my home park so I’m hopeful for this park!
this is my home park and it is nice and awesome i want to see another roller coaster
A Mack Multi-Launch would be a great fit.
For some extra space they could add, they should consider a couple new sections like Amazonia to reflect on the culture of tropical South America and Australia hence the name of the country that’s part of Oceania and its culture. For the 2019 season, the portion of Americana that has the Timber Wolf and other rides and attractions based on what looks like rural America or the Western United States with woody vibes was spun-off and newly named “Wild West” while what remained in the existing Americana section reflects more to the Eastern United States like Virginia, DC, and New York. And where the Mamba roller coaster sits could be spun off from Africa and newly named “Mamba Mountain”. The Gateway Gardens near the park entrance was once called the International Plaza after being spun-off from Scandinavia. The Orient that reflects on Asian culture in the past few years was renamed to “East Asia” due to the fact that its signature roller coaster the Orient Express had long been axed after the 2003 season due to high maintenance costs that they couldn’t keep budgeting.
Great review of my home park. I wish I went on a dead day because it is always crowded when I go. They even had bees in the soda fountains on the closing day! and yes we need a new roller coaster
And surprisingly enough, Timber Wolf is my favorite I don't know why I just like it a lot.
and usually the only ride that rides one train is Prowler the rest have 2 trains
except for Cosmic coaster because its too short
now that i think about it worlds of fun or atleast the surrounding landscape including over by the ameristar and jaegers sit on a massive network of limestone caves that were dug out during kansas citys early years so i wonder if the weight of a bunch of rides plus caves is keeping wof from being amazing and maybe thats why the rides are so spread out
Been here twice, love it.... Watch out for the loose skunks from time to time. Lmao
Bees also loved the outdoor soda dispensers when I visited Dorney yesterday.
One thing about me that’s different from everyone else is that I don’t like the feeling you get in your stomach on a drop but I still ride hypers and gigas, which is something I would appreciate at worlds of fun
My home park and my favorite roller coaster is the mamba and my first time on it I was 9 year old
I will say that, this being my home park, they rarely don’t run 2 trains, no matter how crowded
Another thing is that, you mentioned you don’t need a full day. My family gets season passes every year. It is only about 90 dollars and a regular pass is 50-60. Since we go a lot it’s worth it. We normally get there at opening, normally 10, and leave by 1. From about 10-11:30 it is dead, after that it fills up. So being able to go every weekend it is fine to go there, ride all the rides, and leave by the time it fills up. Normally get food on the way back
I live in Kansas City. Worlds of Fun is fine, I just wish Cedar Fair would invest more into it. A new rollercoaster, some facelifts around the park, ect would be much appreciated.
Timberwolf has good days and bad days it seems like. Sometimes when I ride it, it's fine. Other times it's just painful. Maybe it depends on car, train, ect.
The mamba coke dispenser is always like that. They never do anything about it.
Their funnel cake is the BEST!!
Ah Patriot. An extremely underrated B&M Invert.
It's the worst invert in the country.
Which isn't an insult, because they're all good. But it's not as good as a Batman model.
Since i do work at Great America there is also a Dinning Plan for this season .
WE HAVN’T HAD A NEW COASTER SINCE 2009! CEDAR FAIR NEEDS TO GIVE US SOME LOVE 😭
they are adding a new rollercoaster! bringing back Zambezi Zinger i’m super excited they had it a long long time ago and sold it to colombia but i’m only 11 so i was not a thing then so i never rode it in super excited coming in 2023! i’m lucky i live near it about 1 hour and a half away i’m excited next time i go ima ride my first upside down rollercoaster boomerang and maybe patriot after that and then i would have rode all the rollercoasters after!
Why do I have this gut feeling that Kanonen from Liseberg is coming to Worlds of Fun?
I wouldn't hold your breath, I would be really surprised if Kanonen came to America.
Coaster Studios Yeah, I kind of would be surprised as well as not be surprised. I would be surprised as most attractions Liseberg removes do end up going to smaller European parks, however Screamscape did mention that Kanonen was apparently sold to a North American park, so we should definitely keep our eyes open to see any signs of Kanonen in any park.
Congratulations on 1000 videos Taylor!
The Water park, is VERY VERY good. They use to be seperate tickets and were worth it, now that its a one tickets for both parts, the value is really insane. As far as Water Parks go, its collection of slides and pools is truly Elite. Better than Knotts water park and Cedar points water park. So I think its the best Cedar Point Water park. I think Worlds of Fun is a must park as is if you do the Water park too. I actually think Cyclone Sams was a very fun Flat ride masquareding as a dark ride. Mambe I think is a truly elite coaster too. Worth the visit if you never been for that Credit for sure.
Did you go to worlds of fun on like a blue moon? Cause most of the rides are usually closed and the park isn't that clean most of the time
The one time I went there was all of the rides open for all 10 of the park guests
do you think six flags st.louis will get a new coaster in 2018?
Ethan K eh, probably not. Would be nice, but doubtful. We'll have to see though
This is my home park they only run two trains on certain rides due to past accidents, my mom also works there and even she agrees that they should get a new ride.
I cant even resist those little ones that tilt i scream
That is my home park!!! I have a season pass so I go a lot!!
make it to Valleyfair someday! it's not that big but we got good rollercoaster. hopefully we get that b&m
Taylor, I think you should come to new Hampshire and do reviews of our parks. There's Santa's Village, Story Land, and Canobie Lake Park, just to name a few
Six Flags St Louis has had smoked pulled pork nachos for years. Years.
Smoked at the restaurant you eat them at.
It's my hometown park and I love it... I do however! Wish they had more mister fans also... and a couple more water rides... and a virtual reality ride like the "Galactica" at Alton towers in the United kingdom.
How about something like Galeforce but with the switchtrack here? or just a clone of Galeforce or something like that?
Was hoping wof would add another coaster this year. Instead they are tearing down the finish fling and adding a new family ride
worlds of fun close to Halloween have like different scary stations to go and Its fun I really enjoyed it I only live an hour away
i visited worlds of fun yesterday and during my trip to the park multiple employees mentioned that they were told by park management that worlds of fun will be adding a new coaster in 2018. the description i was given spoke of an inverted coaster 2 vertical loops to corkscrews and a chain lift the manufacturer is unknown (the elements in the ride sounds off but the rumor of a new coaster sounded very real :i was only given description by one employee:)
what are your thoughts on this?
Zeiro Tolerance lil that didnt happen 😂
This review helped me solidify my decision to come this park just last week. I agree that it is a nice little park that could use extra attention from Cedar Fair. Also, if you read the reviews of the park on facebook, you will see they are mixed and the low reviews are over petty things.
This is my home park and I love it so much!!
This park and review reminds me of Dorney Park soooo much I was almost able to relate to this lol. Minus the extra space worlds of fun has
This is my home park and they usually run 2 coasters at the park. Unless it is dead.
Thank you for the review. I will be visiting this park for the first time ever this June and was interested in hearing your review. I also bought the dining plan for my trip. We have only one day and will be going in the park for the rides, not the water park unless we get done real quick.
I am such a member of the General Public now. For some reason RUclips recommended a Coaster Studios video a few weeks back, and since then I've watched some Coaster Studios videos. When I was a little kid a visit to an amusement park was always a highlight of my summer. Usually Worlds of Fun, which was at most a 15 minute drive away from where I lived the first decade of my life. If we took a family vacation to the Branson area, then we would do a day at Silver Dollar City instead. But anyway, as a little kid after we'd do our day or two at an amusement park I would keep looking at the park map for weeks afterward, wishing I could go back. Then around the turn of the millennium, despite never being much of a computer gamer otherwise, I did waste a huge number of hours playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2. So it shocks me a little now to realize that I've only ever been to 3 amusement parks in my life. Worlds of Fun, Silver Dollar City, and a day at Six Flags over Texas in the mid 1990s on a family vacation to central Texas when I was a teenager. (I'm 37 now.) Plus some carnival rides at fairs when I was younger, and I did an alpine coaster at I believe Estes Park in Colorado when I was in my early 20s. I was going to go to Coney Island and ride the Cyclone and Wonder Wheel on one trip to NYC, but then I realized after I was in NYC that Coney Island amusement parks weren't open on weekdays until a week or two after my trip would be over, and I was going home before the weekend. It shocks me a little that after loving amusement parks so much as a little kid, as an adult there have been years where I've never made it to an amusement park at all. Probably because there have been years when I have always been at one extreme or the other of either always working or always being broke, and I'm a bachelor without a huge circle of friends, and it's not as much fun to go to an amusement park alone. And I am now more subject to motion sickness than I was as a kid. I will take Dramamine or other medicines like it throughout the day when I do go to an amusement park, and I think I'm still mostly okay with roller coasters, since coasters have a variety of different G force sensations. But some of the flat rides that only do one thing, repetitively, can make me very green in the gills and even toss my cookies. It's kind of embarrassing to get on a ride that I would have loved as a kid, and that wouldn't normally be described as especially extreme, like a swinging ship, and throwing up on the ride.
I think Worlds of Fun was so much better when I was a kid. I'm sure that's partly because I was so much more easily impressed as a child, and now I'm looking back on it with nostalgia goggles. But I think there is also at least the possibility that an objective outsider would say that in the 1980s until at least the mid 90s that WOF management put more money into the park, relative to inflation, than Cedar Fair does now. Worlds of Fun used to be owned by a company founded by Lamar Hunt, the guy that owned the Kansas City Chiefs, and it and Oceans of Fun were the only parks they operated. Now I feel like Cedar Fair just sees WOF as one more park they own among many. WOF's current entrance used to be only a side entrance. The side entrance was the only one that you could walk to your car from. If your parents were cheapskates, you could get your hand stamped at the side entrance, go to your car to get your cooler, have a picnic lunch in a wooded picnic area between two parking lots, and then go back into the park. But the main entrance was in Americana, about where the Steelhawk windseeker is now. You had to ride a tram from the parking lot to the main entrance or vice versa. But it was more in keeping with the Around The World in 80 Days park theming that you would begin and end your day in America. Now it seems a little strange to have a tree shaded fountain square with a bunch of shops and food stalls around it, nowhere near the park entrance. But I think the park was themed a little more in general when I was a kid compared to now. There was a kids ride called Bounce-a-roos that had a kangaroo theme that was put in the Europe section, as there was no Australia section, but for the most part they tried to keep things themed to the area of the park they were in, and I'm not sure Cedar Fair cares as much.
But you are absolutely right about the open space around the park. Some of the open space around the park has never had anything there, but some space used to have roller coasters, now removed and never replaced. When I was a kid, the Orient Express was a huge deal. Wikipedia tells me it had some roller coaster firsts when it first opened. I will admit that the last few years before they took it out it was getting pretty rough, the kind of ride that could turn your ears beet red from banging into the sides of the restraint system. When the ride was younger, I don't think it was anywhere near as rough. But I don't know that it was ever worse than a brand new Boomerang, plus being a full circuit ride it was more fun.
When I was a kid, I was always tall for my age, and there was a time when I was tall enough to meet some height requirement for adult rides but I couldn't read yet. During this time, for one visit I was really excited to go and ride roller coasters. That morning, I rode a steel corkscrew coaster where Timber Wolf is now, and afterwards I wasn't really sure if I liked it, but after I had been all excited to ride roller coasters that morning, I wasn't going to admit to that. So I said that I had liked it. Then, that night after sundown my Dad tricked me into riding the Orient Express. I can still sort of remember seeing the Chinese Dragon logo lit up in the head chopper element as the train left the station before the chain lift catches the train, and then some of the loops in the dark. But after I got off that ride, Dad asked me what I thought, and I left no doubt about how I did not like it at that age, and it was a few years before I would ride any roller coaster again. But I am glad I started riding coasters again after a few years, and got to ride (and love!) the Orient Express again before it started to deteriorate and get really rough. Anyhow, the spinning roller coaster and the Patriot are both nearish to where the Orient Express's old footprint was, but I have read that neither ride actually occupy any of the Orient Express's footprint. Not much of it, anyway. They have utilized the Express's station house for Halloween season haunted houses, but otherwise they took out the Orient Express but didn't put anything in in its physical place.
The Zambezi Zinger was a great family ride. I regret I didn't start riding it earlier, but after my early experience on the Orient Express there were a few years where all roller coasters intimidated me equally. Anyway, the Zinger was a great ride for the whole family. Certainly not extreme, but everyone could ride it. Being built in the trees helped make it more fun than it might otherwise be if it were out in the open. The tunnel at the end was a huge plus. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it isn't pretty much the same ride as the Whizzer at Six Flags Great America. But the Zambezi Zinger never had any kind of restraints at all, not even seatbelts. It was simply positive Gs keeping riders in the seats. Worlds of Fun doesn't really have any kind of family coaster today. Maybe Spinning Dragons, but some might be put off by the spinning. Mamba is smooth as glass and has no inversions, but some might be scared off just by its height. I happen to think Prowler is a great ride, a completely uncontroversial opinion, but I don't know if it would qualify as a family coaster. And WOF has never really put anything in the space that the Zambezi Zinger occupied. I guess when the Boomerang first opened, the line opened onto the midway where the Zinger's did, but the Boomerang itself never occupied any of the Zinger's footprint. And they have moved the Boomerang's entrance since then. The Zinger's station house has been used by haunted houses, and I believe that now Dinosaurs Alive may occupy some or all of the Zinger's footprint. But I'm sure that if it were up to subscribers of Coaster Studios, it would be no contest to have a ride there instead of animatronic dinosaurs that require an additional fee to see.
Timber Wolf was a huge deal when it opened, and was a lot of fun for the first few years of its existence. I can remember one time I went to WOF with a church group on a Sunday afternoon and it rained off and on all day long. We'd ride water rides, and the splashes from the water rides would be warmer than the raindrops. But anyway, we got on the Timber Wolf and the sky really opened up. There's no way to avoid the rain going up a lift hill, face up into the rain. And the rain drops sure stung going at speed. But the ride seemed faster in the rain, and I had a lot of fun. I was completely soaked, but it was sure fun. But after the first few years, Timber Wolf has gotten rough. I have ridden it when it seemed a little rough, but within what you'd expect on a wooden coaster, and other times when I've gotten off of it and decided that it ought to be renamed the Assault and Battery. I suppose it just depends on where the ride is in its maintenance cycle, and I suppose what the temperature and humidity is doing to the timber that day. But the fear of a bad ride that would take some time to recover from the resulting head and body aches can make one think twice before giving it a chance. I hope the Prowler ages more gracefully than the Timber Wolf has.
90% of the time I go they are running 2 trains you just visited the park on a dead day.
the fish are a theming aspect for the area of the park you were in which was orient area and koi fish are common in asia
Taylor byee I much appreciate your work and wanted to ask u two question . My first is are u planning on doing to do six flags magic mountain vs cedar point 2017 edition . Also are u planning on doing a six flags magic mountain five year 2.0 plan 2018-2022 if you can answer this question it will make my day .
Raging Bunny sorry, I have no plans to do anymore park battles, but I will at some point do a Magic Mountain 5 year plan.
WOF location in my lovely hometown. Which I do think WOF needs more ride such as all the of the old rides cedar fair throw out.
P.s. love this video
