Worlds of Fun (WOF) Discussion Thread

Me just now:

 

"Oh, what a nice report! I forgot that they did Winterfest. I wonder what the ride lineup is. I know it's Cedar Fair but maybe it's halfway dec...

 

 

... nevermind".

 

The lights look really great though. Cedar Fair does a great job with those. Great report. Thanks for sharing.

 

They have about 30 rides open. Prowler and Spinning Dragons are the only coasters. Most of Planet Snoopy is open.

Looks great! Had plans to get up there this weekend that fell through. They always do well with this event.

It looks promising.

 

Great TR of it. Thanks.

I'm excited! I'm craving some laps on Mamba!

Worlds of Fun posted a funny coaster trivia video about the coasters in their park. They then posted this comment on their page. I can confidently say they have NO chill. Lol

I gotta give it to Worlds of Fun, they went from having practically no social media or PR presence to being some of the best in the industry. Their PR team is excellent. Having met some of them and knowing a few personally, they all have a great sense of humor and personality for this kind of stuff.

The park originally would have been open next weekend . I'm so ready for this mess to be over!

Worlds of Fun extending all 2020 season passes into 2021, including all 2020 season pass add-ons!

^ That is awesome! Now I wish I hadn't held out on buying one lol!

[DavidB]

^I believe you can still buy a 2020 pass now and it will qualify for 2021 as well. Assuming it's the same as CP and KI.

[WOF_Fan]

^ That is awesome! Now I wish I hadn't held out on buying one lol!

It applies to any season pass and their add-ons purchased for 2020. So you can still buy one and it will be good for 2021.

^ Oh wow that is so cool! Just another reason to love WOF!

Fixed that for you. It seems this policy has been mostly chain-wide.

 

I know Six Flags is doing some sort of stuff for their passholders but nothing close to this level, especially when you consider how much a Platinum Pass costs. I could personally give two cares less about some extra discounts and benefits in the park when I don't like spending money in the park anyway, but I absolutely would love a free 2021 pass.

Just made a reservation for July 1 at WOF (using a platinum pass).

 

We've had a "midwest" tour scheduled for a while. Can't believe it's actually happening / feasible, but we're going to give it a shot.

 

I had not seen a prior announcement about reservations being available, so figured I would give the heads up to anyone that was trying to get one.

CF has decided not open Cedar Point Shores but hasn't said anything their other water parks, a few days ago they were offering a $200 bonus for lifeguards at Oceans of Fun

[grsupercity]

I think Cedar Point suffers staffing issues more then most parks.

Cedar Point heavily relies on international people to staff their park. And also, Cedar Point Shores is a separate admission park, where as most of the other water parks in the chain are included with the main park's admission.

[Rick Tengle]

now they've gotten rid of reservations, oceans of fun hours still pending

[Rick Tengle]

calendar shows them closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays starting next week

[Canobie Coaster]

^ Considering how dead it was when I was there last Monday, I can see why they decided to do that.

I’ve already booked my hotel for the last weekend of the month. Fingers crossed this is the end of the hour reductions!
