Worlds of Fun (WOF) Discussion Thread

So you people honestly think they would start putting up flags up in April for two new flats for next year? Laughable... If so, wouldn't Carowinds already be way further along than us? They are supposedly building 5 rides +even more stuff.

 

Actually, flags have been placed where the old mini golf was. Yellow flags scattered on the grass and pink flags on the trees!

This is where the Mini Golf was.

I think you're in the wrong thread.

 

EDIT: Oh Carowinds... got it.

What we need to know is where all the markers are placed. But I also do agree that CF would not throw a teaser out there this early for just two old flat rides. But a huge coaster I don't see

[SixFlagsAstroworld]

I was thinking Dark Ride, but I am leaning a little bit towards a coaster

You're right. A huge coaster wouldn't even fit there. If we got a smaller launch coaster though, that would be amazing.

Unless they make a coaster that crosses over a midway. Then it could either go over by Mamba or they could even take out The Taxis

or in the Orient Express spot. (I just want to see a coaster go through Patriot's loop)

The markers aren't quite over there

[SixFlagsAstroworld]

^true. But it could be possible in the future

What Do You Guys Think About My Theory

[Vonni]

Well this is definitely one of the more interesting things to happen at the park in quite some time. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we are FINALLY getting a new coaster, and I'd be even less surprised to see a Superman/Tempesto clone.

[PhantomPoster32]

You know, I'd be fine with one of those because they are a lot of fun.

Same here, as long as it gets the same amount of care and attention to detail that CF's other new coasters have been getting.

[SixFlagsAstroworld]

A ride like Tempesto would be a fantastic addition for WOF.

[PhantomPoster32]

Of course I'd never say no to another B&M in the park. How much was Hydra?

[WOFanatic]

I would. Patriot is boring to me. I feel like if the park did get a new B&M it would be a bottom of the barrel, uninspired B&M. Worlds of Fun does not have a Fury, Banshee, or even Valravn budget right now. I feel that you would get a lot more bang for your buck with a Premier coaster.

[PhantomPoster32]

Having ridden all of the B&M inverters in states I highly disagree but you're entitled to your opinion. I personally feel that you cannot go wrong with the reliability of B&M - not to mention the PPH. A coaster in the $15M range gives you SheiKra, Hydra, Talon, a Patriot, among others. You can get a decent sized B&M and they are always crowd pleasers.

 

Part of me wants a dive coaster because it would beat SDC at its own game.

That might be a little low in today's dollars. I know Holiday World's Thunderbird was said to have cost $22 million.

I'm not saying B&M's aren't great, but WoF's wouldn't be with the budget we are given (with the exception of a dive coaster. I'd be so down for that).

 

I'm starting to believe that both KI and WoF are getting dark rides considering they are both starting construction at the same time. I mean, possibly it could be a coincidence, but I just find it weird that they both are teasing and starting construction within the same week.

[PhantomPoster32]

You ARE aware that KI already has a Sally Shooter Darkride, Correct?

[Henry M]

Yes, but does it really matter?

[WOFanatic]

You ARE aware that KI already has a Sally Shooter Darkride, Correct?

Doesn't really effect anything, really. There are plenty of parks with more than one dark ride.

Really? There are plenty of parks with multiple target shooting rides? Do tell.

You ARE aware that when Wonder Mountain's Guardian was built, CW already had a Sally Shooter Darkride, Correct?
