Now if they can just take a bulldozer to the entire park.

 

Fixed that for you!

 

Dumb. It's one of the nicer parks in the chain. And it's the Africa section not Kongo (whatever the heck that is).

Or at least downsize it a bit. I feel like it takes up most of the park lol!

The Americana section is much bigger than the Africa section. It stretches from Coasters Cafe to Rip Cord.

Whatever it's called, you know what I mean and it's a shithole.

The Africa section is rad. The problem is that it has an Australian themed boomerang stuck in the middle of it because Kinzel is either strangely vindictive towards creative types or quasi-retarded.

[WOFanatic]

I really like the African section of the park, especially the Prowler area. Boomerang's area is off, but the Dinosaur's Alive area is gorgeously landscaped and themed. Of course, Coaster's needs to go too, in my opinion. As much as WOF wants to say it's an extension of the Americana section, it's almost laughable how out of place it is.

Your entitled to your opinion and we're entitled to think your opinion sucks.

They could say Coasters is in "South Africa" and it could work.

They have Boomerangs in Africa

Check out these photos of the new front gate posted by Bleck & Bleck Architects on Twitter. It's looking really good!

Yay, now let's bring this beauty and themeing to the rest of the park. Islands of adventure here we come

[ToNC]

With Michigan's Adventure and Valleyfair getting the season long fastlane. Does anyone else think WOF might be in the running for it too?

[Coaster19]

I just got an email from WoF about the season long Fastlane. WoF has it for 2017. Will not be available for Halloween or Winterfest. $99 to add on to your season pass.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Additionally, both Falcon's Flight and Mustang Runner are now being erected. The park's been busy this week!

[Vonni]

^ Where are each of the new rides being located? It looks like one of them is going where the Scrambler used to be, but I cant really tell from the pics.

[RollerManic]

The first one (condor?) looks to be directly across from where the scrambler used to be (where a patio appears of google maps) and the second looks like it is in the scrambler's spot.

The Troika is the first pic and the Condor is the second. The troika is being built right across from the entrance to Detonator, while the Condor is being built in Le Carousel's old spot, across from Autobahn (bumper cars) and next to Flying Dutchman. Nothing is filling Scrambler's old spot (yet).

Anyone know if they GCI retracked the helix of Timberwolf?

 

I asked PR but they were busy with the front gate, and weren't sure.

[Jaykethekid]

I was wondering the same thing. It is probably the part of the ride that needed retracking the most from a rider comfortability standpoint.

That would be...Well the rest. Haha.

 

Hope it is retracked, that helix was painful last year. I do feel the first half has gotten more mild though

This year's work didn't happen. I don't know why, but I am guessing it has to do with all the other things going on in the park and/or budget. There is so much going on out there with the new gate, new catering facility, two new rides and a lot of other projects to prepare the park for Winterfest, etc. I was really looking forward to the helix getting some work, but no such luck for now.

[Bryantw36]

So I guess there's something else to be revealed, could it be the center piece for the front gate, or a promotion for the 2018 year, just like they did in 08' for 09's addition of Prowler. The hashtag is #underthetarp

[Bryantw36]

So Worlds of Fun is promoting something else, could it be for the 2018 year like they did in 2008 for the 2009 addition of Prowler, or could it just be the centerpiece for the new entrance

Season pass Fastlane is an upsell that I have a hard time saying no to being only 15 minutes from the park. Last summer I avoided Saturdays due to lines...not anymore. $100 to guarantee each of my visits are awesome? Totally worth it.
