  1. I live in Independence Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City. My "local" park would be Worlds of Fun (about a 15 minute drive), and I would also consider it my home park because it is nearest and dearest to me. I love Worlds of Fun so much, it might seem average to most, but to me there's some weird home park magic to it. It's kind of hard to describe the feeling I get when I am there. I know the park so well, I could walk it with my eyes closed. And Prowler helps the magic too. As for other close parks: Silver Dollar City: 3 hours. Six Flags St. Louis: A little under 4 hours. Celebration City: Closed
  2. I've never heard anyone say anything like that for any park, why would anyone object to something that would be there to make them safer? There are people who carry around weapons, and while I'm not saying park violence is a common thing, I'd rather wait an extra minute or two to know no one has any sort of weapon. And just because they haven't had any issues doesn't mean they don't need them. Don't wait until something happens to install them, install them right away so nothing ever will happen. Believe me, with the time I've spent in and around parks in my time, I've heard plenty of people comment saying "this is confidence inspiring" when the first thing they do is go through metal detectors and pat downs. And like I said, the extra staffing and cost of that infrastructure has got to be absurdly high. There are parks all over the place that have no bag checks/metal detectors at the front gate and remain perfectly safe. Just because one or two morons act like idiots doesn't mean the park should have to spend tons of extra money and man power in response to it. Punish those who do it rather than inconveniencing your company and future guests. I could go into a whole rant about how our country is too damn scared of the boogeyman (thanks to the fear mongering media), but I'll spare that one for another day. I agree with deathbydinn, It's better to have safety procedures in place before something goes wrong. You CAN "go into a whole rant about how our country is too damn scared of the boogeyman (thanks to the fear mongering media)" but that doesn't mean you know whether or not some homicidal psycho decides one day to come into Cedar Point with a gun and shoot up the place. If that were to happen, Cedar Point (and probably all of Cedar Fair) would sure as hell be installing metal detectors at every gate then. I doubt a security system would really be that out of reach for any major corporation to install.
  3. Perhaps there were only two,rather than three windseekers purchased as originally rumored? I don't see where CF would put a third one other than at WOF or perhaps VF. What KDCOASTERFAN is saying is he can't see any other Cedar Fair Parks getting a Windseeker. He is fully aware Worlds of Fun has plenty of room to install one.
  4. Mamba's second hill in the front has incredible airtime. The back has good airtime everywhere else, except those bunny hills, darn mid course brake run.
  5. It's the quadruple down at the end of the ride that gets me. Especially on a hot summer night in the back left seat.
  6. Have any of you been on Prowler? Worlds of Fun is my home park so I guess I am more supportive of it than most.
