Mamba is 90% a clone of Steel Force and Patriot is 90% a clone of Talon. Great rides, no question about that, but unless it's a wooden coaster they tend to do the "Hey, let me copy your homework. I'll change it up a little so the teacher doesn't know" method. WOF reminds me more of SFSTL then Dorney lol Invert = Invert GCI = GCI Spinner = spinner windseeker < sky screamer Boomerang = boomerang ect ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 What do you all think about this news that Sea World Parks is interested in buying the CF chain? (I'm not saying its likely at all, just curious about your thoughts as one of the smaller parks in the chain.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickpoetry Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Hi I'm looking to go to WOF on a weekday in June. We're from Chicago and have never been. Two quick questions: Is it possible to do both WOF and OOF in one day? Would you need Fastlane for this? We're looking at parking in the OOF lot, doing OOF in the morning and then WOF in the afternoon/evening. Will I still be able to walk through OOF to get back to my car, even if the rides at OOF have stopped operating? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Yes you can do both in one day. Probably won't need Fastlane to do it. Yes, you can go out through the OOF gate. There's a little side path they direct you through once OOF closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaykethekid Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Seeing that you're going on a weekday in the summer, you will not need Fast Lane to ride the coasters. However, If you're wanting to do every single major attraction at Oceans of Fun in the short time you will be in that park, then you will need Fast Lane. The only reason to buy Fast Lane during a summer weekday is for Oceans of Fun. You will be able to get all of Worlds of Fun's major coasters done in just a couple hours. Doing all of Oceans of Fun attractions with typical crowd levels would take a good amount of time. It just depends on where your priorities are. If you only plan on doing a few things at OOF, forget about Fastlane. If you want to experience most of what OOF offers and still have plenty of time at WOF, then you will need Fast Lane. It's also worth mentioning that if Oceans of Fun is still doing reservations, then the slide wait times will be rather short. I didn't go last season, so I wouldn't personally know. But I've seen many people mention that the crowds were actually manageable for once. Though, the website makes no mention of reservations, so it looks like it will be back to the usual crowd levels. It's probably best to judge whether you will need Fast Lane once you get there. There's no need to buy ahead of time since they never seem to sell out of Fast Lane each day.

DBru Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I feel like the "you can do everything in a few hours" advice is referring to pre-Covid crowd levels. I've done 30 parks in the last two years and I haven't experienced a single day at any of them where I'd describe crowd levels as anything less than "packed." When I visited WOF on a Tuesday in mid July 2020, every single line was spilling out into the midway. Demand has never been higher for amusement parks in my lifetime. I still wouldn't pre-purchase Fast Lane (who knows, you *could* get lucky...), but I'd certainly budget for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankeykang Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 ^ Is it appropriate to compare this upcoming summer to July 2020? That was when most parks had just reopened, social distance markers were being used in queues, trains were only loading half the available rows, and rides were being sanitized every half hour. There will still be some crowds in June/July but overall operations should be more efficient. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOF_Fan Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 It appears Prowler has received significant track work this off season. 1200 ft of track has been replaced, per WorldsofFun.org. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean you went right before they started closing for a huge chunk of the summer season and there were lines?! I went in 2021, things were back to usual. Worlds of Fun is still just WOF, crowds won't be there pandemic or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 In my experience the lines are not necessarily typically long, but they are incredibly slow moving. Especially for Patriot and Mamba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 All of this activity in this thread made me think Worlds of Fun was finally getting something exciting, like new planters or a walkway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
