Worlds of Fun (WOF) Discussion Thread
BansheeFanshee replied to OzCatter's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
So I may have an opportunity to go to the park on the first Friday of May but only for about 5 to 6 hours. Just curious if any of you who are more familiar with this park have a general estimate on if it's possible to hit all the coasters in that time span during that time of year without FL? This will be my first visit to the park, which has been a long time coming considering the amount of years I've been a CF passholder, and I'm very excited. Any other tips for a first-timer to WOF would also be appreciated! -
Thinking of heading out to the park for the first time either this Friday or the following Friday. Anyone have experience at this park and know what I should expect on a Friday? Really wanting to get a lot of rides on Shivering Timbers, but will that be possible without FL? Really have no idea what to expect here.

Ugh. Everytime we plan a trip to the park the wind is crazy. Hoping that 18 mph winds aren’t enough to keep Steel Vengeance down tomorrow. Any of you guys seen what winds take it down? (Already anticipating Dragster not opening) -

Kings Island’s Monster sat in that same manner for an extended period during one of the last few seasons. It’s purely for maintenance purposes unless this situation is different. (Which it doesn’t appear to be) -

Hey guys. Have a silly question, but figured some of you may have an idea. Wind speed looks to be around 15 - 17 mph on Sunday (When I’m planning on visiting). Is that enough to close the bigger coasters? Wanted to ride SV. -

Definitely think you're right about the whole 3 train theme idea. To expand on that, I've had the wild idea for a while that those characters will be included in a "Shed" element. With the transfer table being in front of the station, unlike Mystic Timbers, they have the opportunity to really enclose it and tell a story before the ride, instead of after. My guess is that they would use the 3 characters inside as well as use them in the 'Battle for CP' app. -
New S&S Concepts: Twisted Looper

It would be pretty spectacular to see the seats flip (4D) on the twisted looper model, and I'm guessing that this will possibly be an option for customers. -

You can only bring non-passholders into early ride time on the Bring -A-Friend days. -

I've never had any clue as to what the circular shape on the sides of the ledgers are for but I do know that those same kind have been used on all of the RMC coasters going back to the start with New Texas Giant. -
Dollywood Discussion Thread

Great trip report! On a side note, I've been wondering this for quite some time now.... Would changing the launch to a regular chain lift hill solve the problems that LR is having? Would it slow the ride's overall speed enough to be noticeable? Thoughts? -

^ That is roughly in the area of where the brakes / entrance to the shed will be. -

An announcement at IAPAA has been a fairly strong rumor as of recent. Seems plausible, and would definitely be a unique way to announce a new coaster in comparison to their last few. Along with the fact that we've seen various Coaster announcements at the event in the past. -
