coaster1 Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Well yeah, talk about a random as hell trip. So we decided to risk and and drive to Kansas City and Worlds of Fun for the cheap season pass and since none of us had been there before, it worked. So we left Plano/Dallas around 4:30pm and finally got into Oklahoma about 2 hours later, damn traffic. As hard as it was, we passed on the Casinos at the border and made it past Frontier City around 8pm cause of the rain, once near the Kansas border, the highway was closed and we decided to get gas. We noticed the guys next to us were hanging out on their truck bed, drinking and smoking, next to GAS PUMPS .. morons. We left quickly and ended up getting to KC around 2am .. suck. After a nice little sleep on the floor and Sam trying to eat my burrito the night before, we headed for Worlds of Fun, after missing the exit and getting back on track, we got great parking .. no too crowded, got our passes processed and headed in. First impression ... small park and Spinning Dragons is right there. So we opted for that first .. nice little ride .. spun like mad since we got the fat people on one side. After a decent ride and talking with some local people in line, we did Timber Wolf, what a mistake, this thing SUCKS. After a painful and LOUD ride, we did the Top Spin .. it's ok, not a great program. After that .. S&S time and Detonator. First ride for Sam on an S&S that goes above the pullies, very nice ride. After that .. Mamba. Now I've heard good things, this thing was nice until someone threw up. Bastard. After the wait and such, hit Boomerang. Now I was impressed how quick they got the train dispatched. Not a bad Boomerang, smoother than most, but the bonus points came with the bright pink train .. killer. After that I hit the Wacky Worm, credit whoring to the best. Then the Rotor .. MISTAKE! Actually got e-stopped after a kid started slipping. After that .. photo lap and stuff .. then we headed off to Branson. Overall impression .. nice little park, just not alot to do or bring me back. So got to Branson around 6pm and didn't hit any traffic on the strip, what the hell is going on!? Got into Celebration City and headed straight for the flyers. Finally got some snappage, but nothing huge, one girl got scared cause the whole thing was shaking. Hit Fireball, Jack Rabbit, Thunderbolt, Magic Carpet ride then Wildcat. mmmmm yes, How I love that ride. Only issue was the one train op on every coaster, made for some lines. After that we hit the Outback Steakhouse. This was the first ever but is now no longer part of the chain. This was some of the best steak I have ever had. The gator tail was damn good too .. I'm eating here for now on. Next day was SDC. Ahh yeah, got to Powder Keg at opening, and guess what .. still wasn't open. Finally opened and we got our front seat ride. This would be the only ride of the day since the line was full and was streching back to Fire in the Hole. After Powder Keg, hit Fire in the Hole .. greatness, then Wildfire .. ahh yes. After Wildfire did Shootout at the Flooded Mine and Thunderation. I wanted to do the Waterboggan but it was a bit chilly with the wind blowing. So then we ate .. greatness. After that did the Cave tour and shopped and headed home. Photos: Cave bacon! .. I'm hungry Tight squeeze .. but alot of fun and work Cave randomness Lost River .. the end has yet to be found. It says NOT to look in the hole .. few mintues later he got cynaide in his eye! Decent ride. Justin got pooed on by a bird .. that's funny! Nice ride .. not too bad at all CRAP! I have no idea what this is supposed to be! yeah Rotor ... bad idea .. I didn't ride MAMBA again! ACK! Gorrila escaped from the Dallas Zoo again! Mamba! Sam ate my burrito!
PhishyBrewer Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Rotor... what a ride. I didn't know of any park that still had one. Nice picture and great trip report! Oh, and Magnummmmamba... KNOCK-OFF! Cedar Fair can be so cheap sometimes. I though everyone smoked at the gas punps. It's how my daddy taught me.
coaster1 Posted May 17, 2005 Author Posted May 17, 2005 I forgot Oklahoma people were slower than most .. although better than the Mountain People .. like the one talking to me at SDC before they opened .. I was scared.
SharkTums Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 I miss SDC...Glad you had a good time! Elissa "is it time to go back yet?" Alvey
Meteornotes Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 ^Hell yeah it's time to go back! Two words: Throwed Rolls! dt
coaster1 Posted May 17, 2005 Author Posted May 17, 2005 Looks like once a month for us through Christmas .. alot of miles on the cars tho, that's the only problem. Well maybe not July since we got Vegas at the end of the month .. need money to blow in the Casinos!
robbalvey Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 LOL at the "I have no idea what this is supposed to be" photo! WTF is it supposed to be?!?!?!? --Robb
maliboomer Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 I think its a ostrich/whale hybrid with a pointy thing.
coaster1 Posted May 18, 2005 Author Posted May 18, 2005 First thing we said .. "What the *$%^!" but then we thought it was due to riding the Rotor .. but sure enough, it was still there.
BarryH Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 That burrito shot seemed so wrong, not that there's anything wrong with that!
What Now Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 That Burrito turns me on. That bush looks kind of like a Llama.
coaster1 Posted May 18, 2005 Author Posted May 18, 2005 Lol .. it does look like a Llama .. but I think that was the Finland themed section and I don't know if they have Llama in Finland .. maybe they do.
GmotoVT Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I just got to say.... why pass up Frontier City? Its on the way and turned into an amazing park.
