Worlds of Fun Review Kansas City, Missouri Amusement Park

My full thoughts on my first ever visit to this park back in June of 2016. It was a hot day, but luckily there weren't too many crowds, so I feel like I got a good feel for the place! This is my Worlds of Fun review!

WOF is my hometown amusement park. They really could use some new big rides.

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

[AdventuresByJake]

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.

[TheDoucheFairy]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

[Rubixsmike]

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.

[graysongilbert]

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.

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

Well, running one train is better than running no trains! ;)

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.

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.

I used to work Orient Express. Summer, 83. I miss that ride :)

[kayleemoe]

The mamba was my very first rollercoaster, and I loved it!

[Rlover]

"I'll have more reviews out shortly"
We only got a Mamba review :(

[anastasiajarchow]

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!

[mitchellhenry]

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.

[PastTime]

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.
