Looty Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hi Everyone, Some friends and I decided to head down to Kansas City last week to check out Prowler and see what all of the fuss is about. Overall, Prowler is a fantastic coaster. It offers plenty of air that is sure to make the most desensitized coaster nerds feel joy once again Enjoy! Thanks for reading. We had a good time and you all should go check out Prowler. Rachel also decided to book a flight to Africa...that gorilla really made an impression I guess. Some more awesome music We stopped at Carrabas for dinner. Time to go... Hmm...I guess it's just more fun when it's inside of a mall. Mess of steel. Still just an "OK" ride IMO... Hi Patriot. NO!...Don't eat Timberskara and Coasterplaya!!! Who's this I see on the front of the map??? More scenery. We decided to skip TW. To compensate, I had Rachel beat my kidneys with a nearby steel rod for 2.5 minutes. Cameron went in as a boy and came out as a man! He also will not shut up and leave me alone... You get some nice views of Prowler from the train. Yay for lasting over an hour at WOF without getting bored! Mamba on the other hand is awesome! We weren't in the mood to have our semicircular canals smashed in so we skipped Boomerang. So here are my thoughts: Prowler is a fantastic ride and a great addition to WOF. It offers a plethora of air in a nice setting. With that said, I still like Renegade just a hair better. I would say Prowler offers more air, but the overall layout isn't as good as Renagade. Just my two cents... Sexy trains. Now there is some wood that I want to throw myself on! Here come some happy riders. Yay for 1 train op on the new coaster. Here's what we came here for...Prowler! Rachel got tired of waiting for Cameron or myself to make a move so she took out her hormonal rage on this unwilling gorilla. She found out that we really do have more in common with these creatures than you think We ARE Ride Warriors! (although not on as much meth as the kids in the commercials). WOF has some lovely scenery. Hmm...passes don't work at the gate?...What a shock! Some hot entrance action for ya. You stay classy Kansas City. Ok lets go ride now. Oh what's this?!? Our awesome CF platinum passes don't work at WOF either??? We're 0/2 this season so far and its only May. I think we enter here. OMG!...There's Mamba!!! Looks like Angelina Jolie has been known to prowl around these woods too. We decided to listen to some awful 80's music on our way to the park to prepare me for my internship this summer at Valleyfair. Our sexy ride. Here's the crew! Me with my irregular bowel face, Cameron looking emo, and Rachel looking like she likes her chances for some hot action today! We shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemmy Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Going tomorrow. How were the lines? (I have never seen long lines at WOF, just curious) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanthonyam Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Just 2 things I noticed: 1. Patriot's station looks like a ski lodge. Does not look very patriotic. 2. Miley Cyrus. Awesome music? Yikes! Give me 80's instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 1. Patriot's station looks like a ski lodge. Does not look very patriotic. I thought the same thing! Carrabba's....mmm....lucky! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelegendarymatthew Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Look at them sexy terrain GCI shots :drools: Nice PTR! Oh yeah, do you really like Miley Cyrus? -Matthew K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyyyper Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 How ironic, wearing a Troy-shirt on Prowler And why is Patriot one car short? It looks really odd seeing a B&M invert with only 7 cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoasters Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I hope you didn't have to pay for Parking or Admission!? I hope they don't try to pull that on me when I go to CP and KI! Get it together Cedar Fair! Prowler looks awesome! Not too many photo ops for this ride are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 My other ride is your girlfriend. With the stickers surrounding that one, I think it's safe to say this guy has never been laid. Prowler looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbadboy Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 1. Patriot's station looks like a ski lodge. Does not look very patriotic. Didn't they just use the same blueprints from Knott's Silver Bullet with a few minor revisions? Some awesome shots! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emiroo Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Nice TR. Just a shame you didn't feature any of the flats...of which there are a ton. You did a great job of showing the scenery though. WoF is one of the "greener" parks I've been to. And I was surprised at how much speed Prowler keep right up to the breaks. It definitely hauls some ass!

gatorchomp83 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Enjoyed the TR, Matt. Although, as we discussed, our opinions on Prowler vs Renegade aren't shared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 What type of ride is "Cyclone Sams?" My other ride is your girlfriend. With the stickers surrounding that one, I think it's safe to say this guy has never been laid. Excellent assessment. For those who haven't gotten the point. Go remove those stickers from your car, NOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emiroo Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 ^ I read online that it's a Chance Wipeout. Now can anyone tell/show me what that is? All I know is that it spins a lot. I have a low tolerance for spinning so I've never had the nerve to go on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looty Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 ^It's like a traditional trabant with riders facing each other. I can just about handle any ride anywhere but this one makes me a little sick. The cycle on it is quite long and very disorienting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they just use the same blueprints from Knott's Silver Bullet with a few minor revisions? Some awesome shots! Thanks! That's what I have heard as well. Seems rather similar to me. It's based off of Talon at Dorney Park. That's what WoF told me in an email a couple years ago. ^ I read online that it's a Chance Wipeout. Now can anyone tell/show me what that is? All I know is that it spins a lot. I have a low tolerance for spinning so I've never had the nerve to go on it. that ride frickin' rocks. You get really close to the ceiling, there's wind, sounds, neon lights. It's a TON of fun!!! EDIT: I now realize you guys were talking about Patriot's station ... Not the layout. My bad!

BamBam36 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 So did you end up having to pay for parking with your CF platinum pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looty Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 ^No. The parking employee called someone and eventually told us to just go. Same thing happened at the turnstiles too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
