Wild West World MINI Photo TR
christianscoasters replied to hemmy's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
A DROP TOWER!!!! OMFG!!! THAT IS WHAT THEY NEED! That thing would just tower over everything. Hopefully I'm going this Friday for a big PTR. -
After seeing a "you decide" thread, and how much popularity it had, I decided to do the same thing. Right now, I have a park that has a few rides. I thought that it would be cool if you guys filled me in on the blank spots. Literally, there is spaces of nothing that need to be filled. BTW, Springwood Park is done. I accidently destroyed it. But if you want the download, just let me know.

It WAS awesome! You come out of your seat and everything! Probably my favorite, maybe second ride in the park! They have planted trees. There's not a lot, but there is some. -

It's a glorified state fair!!! I do agree with what you were saying. When I went opening day, they're were the two rides closed cause they weren't finished yet (log flume and condor) and the flying scooters and canoe because of the wind. The staff are EXTREMELY undertrained. There is a couple of nice ones though. When I was at WWW, the ferris wheel had hardly anyone in line! For some odd reason, I thought that the ferris wheel was fun! Also, you are right about El Diablo. It and Fiesta Grande, are probably the worst rides in the park. BTW, I might be going to WWW this weekend. Hopefully I won't lose 300+ pics like last time!!! -
DAD: My dad left my mom before I was born. I met him when I was about eight. He lives in Denver and he likes roller coasters, but not as much as me, obviously. MOM: My mom doesn't give a sh*t about coasters. She will yell at me if I say one thing about coasters. SHE HATES THEM!!! Ironic thing is, she wants to go to SFStL this summer. Aside from all that, she is really nice and pretty much lets me do what I want as long as I do my chores and stuff.

It's called 8 cars per trainer. Just google it. You seriously should have searched because this is ALL OVER THE FORUM!!! Looks like you didn't know that there was a search because you said Well duh!!! Who would? Please search. BTW, the Elissa cheat thing, we all know. Again, it's all over the forum.

^Thank you! After what Robb was talking about, I needed a good comment. lol. My PM should be there. IDK why it wouldn't be. BTW, your avatar messed up the whole page ! -
This is just a warning. On my signature, you'll notice a link. Robb made a post about bashing the thread. You seriously need to stop saying this is crap. Say something postive. Can't think of anything? Give him some advice! Thanks to the people who did. I WILL NOT POST ANYMORE ARGUING MY OPINION ON THE PARK!!! Thorpe park maniac, I would suggest looking at other people parks' to get ideas. zburns has an AWESOME paramount's park. RCPro has spotlight parks. Premier is best IMO. This will give you some good tips.

It was actually my friends aunt that would prefer it because the California parks were always so crowded. They turned into a teens hangout place (particularly Knott's). She prefer's WWW because it is a nice, family environment that has something for everyone and is a place where families would hangout instead of teens, even though teens do hangout at Wild West World. There also wasn't very many people, which obviously will vary. The Power Surge Type ride, El Diablo, was the WORST RIDE IN THE PARK. There was absolutely no arm room and was just boring and pain all mushed together. The ride could have been exciting, if my mind was concentrating on the ride itself rather then the pain shooting in my arm. It felt like the blood pressure thing at the doctor's office when you move. IDK how it didn't cut off my circulation!

Pictures: I took over 300. I accidently deleted them on my camera. I'll probably go back later this month to get some different ones. Anyway, here is the park story. On Friday at 8:00 p.m. the season pass processing center would close. This is the last night to get them for $50.00. The next day, Saturday, they would be $76.00. At about 7:00 Friday my dad told me he was thinking about getting season passes. After a very quick discussion, we drove 15 minutes to get five season passes. We got out 10 minutes before the place closed. So lucky... The Park: We arrived at the park around 2:30-3:00. I had a piano lesson and wasn't able to make it until then. When you go off of the exit, you go down a long road to get to the park. Right by the park, they built a hotel, which you also pass. Approaching the parking toll booths, several LCD signs give you the daily info. Parking is $5. The parking lot is rather small and needs to be expanded. Right next to it however, is a construction site (which appears that they are going to make it larger). We were lucky enough to get a front spot. Before you cross the bridge to the park, there is a little round-about. In the middle is a HUGE American flag. Then you must cross a beautiful bridge to get to either the JW Theater or the park entrance. On the bridge, we heard a woman who was leaving saying that the park was not as crowded as she thought it would be. YAY!!! The entrance (which showed a wonderful job on theming) had many admission booths. When you first walk into the park, there are nice little shops and restaurants on both sides, again, very well themed. I call this area "Main Street". Pretty original, huh? At the end of Main Street is the Train Depot, which I will talk about later. The end corners of Main Street, on the right is Coldstone Creamery, and on the left is some little restaurant. Aside from this, there were hardly any people here! 1) It's opening day, 2) It's a Saturday! Where are all the people? I now knew that this would be a good day. The first ride that I hopped on was the Crazy Mouse. I needed a new credit, seems how I haven't gotten one in like three years! Walking to the coaster, there are signs of new trees, along with a fancy wood wall. Well, it wasn't real fancy, but it was just to cover up an employee area. There isn't much grass in the park, since it's been a construction area, but grass is being planted. At the beginning of the quene line for Crazy Mouse, they had a man dressed in old fashion clothes. They even themed the people!!! I waited about 20-25 minutes for Crazy Mouse. It was a little painful I thought, but it was fun. Kinda short if you ask me. But it definitely exeeded my expectations. My next ride was the Jumping Bean. A Moser Spring Ride. I did not expect it to be that much of a thrill. It had airtime and you even came out of your seat! Then we headed to the Indian themed area of the park. To get there from where I was at, the Mexican/Texan section, you have to go through a "game alley". Upon entering the Indian area, there is some nice little restaurants and the Kanza Kanoe. It was closed due to wind. So was the Screamin Eagle. (The Flying Scooters). My first ride in this area was the Sidewinder, a Moser frisbee type thing. Again, it was a little short but fun. Two people puked on it! One in the early afternoon, one in the late afternoon. Good times. Good times. The log flume was still under construction and some of the parts were right by the railroad tracks waiting to be put up. They had a small show in a Gazebo, called "The Heart of Country". They had some nice, old country music being performed there. Right next to it, is Red River BBQ. I think that's what it's called. Now we get into the Kansas Area. My first ride was the Cowboy Country Himalaya. It even had airtime!!! It was definitely the best Himalaya that I have ever been on. It had double-ups and double-downs. Then I went on the Bronco Buster. Good name! The Bronco Buster is a Fajume Wacky Worm. Nothing special about it. I went back to the Himalaya and saw one of my friends, Zach, waiting in line. I jumped in line with him and we hung out the rest of the day. He was a big chicken so I rode the big rides with his aunt. Stampede, also known as the Bumper Cars, is what we rode next. The bumper arena is so tiny, and there are way too many cars in it. They need to make it bigger. The Condor is right by Stampede, and was still being put together. I can't wait till it's done! So then for the rest of the day, we just picked and chose what rides to do. I rode Crazy Mouse two more times. The second, I got three bruises that are still visible today. The Wild West World Train or whatever it's called was very nice. It took you around the lake and the ride op explained a little bit about the rides that we passed. I have only three complaints about the park. They have designated smoking areas in the park, and the Crazy Mouse quene is not one of them. I was behind a guy who decided that it was okay to smoke with high wind, so I had to smoke it too. Disgusting. That rule kinda plays in with the next one. The staff at Wild West World were just okay. No employee bothered to tell the man to stop smoking, nor did they care that people were not fastening seatbelts. On crazy mouse, I was putting on my seatbelt, and the guy starts pulling the lap bar down! I had to wedge my arms out of there just to not be in more pain! On the Bronco Buster, some kids were putting their arms out and touching the supports, which is against the rules. The staff just stared. Another kid hopped a fence and stood on it and balanced on it and everything that you can imagine, he did to it. An employee walked by, looked at the kid, and kept going. The staff here really need to shape up. The Jumping Bean employee was probably the worst. When he let the harnesses up, and you held onto yours, it would latch down. People were staying on, only to let two people get on the next time. My third complaint is of the rides arm room. Our arms were pinched so tight in these rides. It was unbearable. So the park gets a 2 out of 10 from me. The place was very nicely themed and beautiful. My friend and his family are actually from California and his aunt says that she would take WWW anyday compared to California parks. WWW is a very nice place for families and Kansas' only "real" fun place. I will be back soon, Hopefully, with my camera!

It's also different because it's a mirror image.
