Vonni Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Has any parts for Steel Hawk began to arrive yet? Yeah, has anyone seen any pieces of it arrive at the park? I do believe Windseeker from KBF was disassembled quite some time ago, so I just wanted to know. I checked WOF Facebook, but there are no updates. I've not seen any news on any other sites either. I know a piece of it was photographed on a flatbed on a Highway in Cali, so maybe its being transported somewhere to be painted before heading to WOF? Hopefully we will have some news and updates on it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 ^ Its frequent down time, and low rider ship. I'm not saying it will be removed immediately, I just don't think it will be around for many more seasons. I'm not saying I know for a fact, I'm just going off the signs. Yes I do agree. I think it was two seasons ago that it was down for all but the last week of operation there at worlds of fun. Also if they do sometime remove timberwolf I think it should be replaced by the chance hyper lite. They look really intense like lightning run at Kentucky kingdom. Also I think it would be cool to ride a coaster made in my town because chance is located in Wichita kansas You guys have Mamba. The only way you would probably get a Hyper-Lite is if it was a 300ft attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Worlds of Fun needs a sit down looper to replace Orient Express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Worlds of Fun needs a sit down looper to replace Orient Express. Patriot? But hopefully you guys will get a Euro Fighter or floorless soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 ^ I'm hoping for a Floorless, or a Sit Down B&M Looper. I feel that is a big void in the Park right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I think Gerstlauer and Mack would be a better choice than B&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I think Gerstlauer and Mack would be a better choice than B&M. I am a huge B&M fan, but I can still certainly see your point. It would also be nice to see Intamin come to WOF as well. The Park could also greatly benefit from a Launched Coaster and Intamin would be a great choice.

Geauga Dog Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 As much as I like B&M I'd like to see more Mack rides built here and not another Wild Mouse. A Blue Fire style ride, not necessarily a clone, would give the park both a much needed sit down looper as well as a launched coaster. Though nothing wrong with Intamin but I just don't forsee another Maverick style ride any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Though nothing wrong with Intamin but I just don't forsee another Maverick style ride any time soon. Maybe, who knows. We'll see how well the LSM in turkey does. But, when you say maverick style, do you mean a blitz coaster like that one and Ispeed or a terrain ride?

Geauga Dog Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 ^I was referring to rides like Maverick which seems more like a terrain ride than iSpeed, which looks much more compact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Worlds of Fun's next coaster needs to be a launched. They're the only major park in the state that doesn't have one, and that is really a major shortcoming. They already have a sit-down looper in Boomerang. Yes, I know it's not the same. But in most people's minds, there is a huge difference between Boomerang and Patriot, but no difference between Boomerang and Ninja. Roller coasters are for the masses--the sheer cost of building one demands that--and so the target audience must also be the masses. And the masses will be impressed by a good launched coaster in a way they won't be by "another" sit-down looper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think a Superman (SFDK) Clone would be nice. Or something small like Fire Chaser Express at Dollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I would also like to see an update to the Park's Front Gate like CP did with Gatekeeper and Carowinds is doing for their 2015 Project. Even if a Ride is not involved, an update to the Front Gate is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarheel1231 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 ^No Chance Hyper GTX has ever been built and the one that is being built is only 100 ft. tall. In fact, if the hyper lite was 300 feet tall, it would be a giga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 My school is heading up to Worlds of Fun on May 17, 2014 for their orchestra festival. What crowds or lines should I expect? Would it be worth it to get Fast Lane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this year orchestra is heading to Kansas City for Worlds of Fun and the entire grade is going to Six Flags.

Vonni Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I just saw on WOF's website that they are staying open until the first weekend of November this year, along with several other CF Parks. That's so exciting! I hope the crowds come out so they will continue to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be worth it to get Fast Lane? We'll if it is a Saturday you should expect a relatively large crowd with average wait times around an hour or more. And yes you should get fastlane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's so exciting! I hope the crowds come out so they will continue to do this. They probably won't honestly. The only reason they're doing it is because Halloween is on a Friday so it doesn't really make sense not to be open the first weekend in November (the 1st and 2nd). I would think that if Halloween fell on a Monday (just as an example) they wouldn't be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
