rcjp Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks for sharing that article. I'm a fan of the Windseeker's, Still need to try a Sky Screamer though. I prefer Sky Screamers over Windseekers. There's something about the chain that makes it more thrilling. You mean the risk of getting stuck 300 feet in the air for hours isn't thrilling enough? Enough said.

Nope, needs more flame throwers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonni Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I can hear the GP now..."Somebody died on that in California, that's why they moved it here!" "Really? I heard EVERYONE died on it!" "I'm not riding it! Its not safe!" Ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'm not riding it! Its not safe!" Ugh No, Cedar Fair has done a good job of keeping it a secret that Steel Hawk is from Knott's. The GP is too stupid to look it up, and I've only seen one news article on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I went around my school asking people if they new where and steelhawk came from and what happened at its last location. No one knew anything about it. Most of the people I asked have been to wof, considering it is just a short two hour dive up north east from my home town of Wichita ks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer Sky Screamers over Windseekers. There's something about the chain that makes it more thrilling. I prefer Skyscreamers too but I like them both. One thing I love about Windseekers (besides the amazing lighting package) is the insane capacity. No matter how crowded the park is I know I can go over to Widnseeker and get on in 1 or 2 cycles. It's just a great relaxing ride. I can hear the GP now..."Somebody died on that in California, that's why they moved it here!" "Really? I heard EVERYONE died on it!" "I'm not riding it!

WOFanatic Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The Steelhawk tower has been completed this last week, and all I have to say is WOW. The views from the top are actually a bit frightening due to all of Worlds of Fun's rides being under 205'. Check em' out: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Awesome View! This ride will do well at this park ... the height difference makes the panorama so dramatic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrguy606 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 IT will give some good views of downtown KC for sure. Might have to catch a ride or 2 this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Looks like a great addition to the park. Hopefully it will be much more successful than at Knott's and live a nice, long life in Missouri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaykethekid Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I can't wait till I get to go. We get season passes there and usually go right after my School year ends. I will try and make a Photo report when I go. It will bug me since once I get out of school we go straight to SDC and on our way back home we go here. We have to drive by it which will make me want to try out steelhawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOFanatic Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Drove by Worlds of Fun and got a few pics of Steelhawk. Check em' out: Worlds of Fun's new skyline in silhouette form! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 ^ Awesome pic! I wonder why WOF did not put Steelhawk in a more central part of the Park? None the less, fabulous addition for WOF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megametal Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Because they wanted to revitalize a pretty dead area of the park. The area they put it in was completely dead when I visited in 2012, while the rest of the park had a steady flow of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Here's hoping their maintenance team manages to keep it operational. I've yet to ride this type of attraction because they're constantly broken. StarFlyers, on the other hand, I've been on every one I've some across.

The area they put it in was completely dead when I visited in 2012, while the rest of the park had a steady flow of people. If they were wanting to revive a dead area of the park, I would think they would put Steelhawk where Thunderhawk was, considering that area is always very dead and sad to look at. Here's hoping their maintenance team manages to keep it operational. I've yet to ride this type of attraction because they're constantly broken. StarFlyers, on the other hand, I've been on every one I've some across. They got a new maintenance director directly from Disney last year, and he seemed very dedicated to a new 5 year plan he developed to fix up areas of the park that need it. We'll have to see, but I think they will do a good job keeping it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
